As some of you know I purchased my 1.8 16v nugget yellow of someone on here. So I thought I would get my project diary on the go now.

 

Here she is as how I purchased her:

 

First thing to do on day one of driving was new and fit stereo as I do like a bit of music when I am moving and momo gear knob as old leather one had had leather removed and looked and felt rank:

 

Day 2 was time to get rid of thos 6x9's on the back shelf or should I say hide!!!:

 

after a bit of felt, scissors, a screwdriver, some glue and a few clothes pegs:

 

the result:

 

much better!!!

 

Then today arrived the latest addition to the car:

 

Next on list is new engine mounts as current ones are a bit weak! Get body work upto a minter standard and putting back on side stripes and 90mm front splitter aswell as getting amp and 10" sub fitted and rumbling and BBS RM's to be put on. :D

Welcome to the marmite club (nugget yellows a love or hate thing)

 

loving the leather , colour looks very even has it been painted?

 

i think it looks better with the side strips off makes the arches stand out more

Ok well just a small thing but I think it makes a difference. In an attempt to improve the stealths temperarely I purchsed these:

 

 

and did this:

 

 

The result:

 

 

I think for £9 it makes a nice improvement whilst deciding what rims I am definately gonna have!!!

[tarche2 0]

Wow busy morning!!!!

 

1st off 8am leave flat to get BBS fitted and am very chuffed!

 

 

Then I came back got my grill out to fit and came accross a little issue.

 

 

But decided I wouldnt let it get me down so with a little DIY!!!!

 

 

 

The result:

 

 

and finally got steering wheel fitted!!!!!

 

 

I am well chuffed just need 90mm front splitter side stripes exhaust and 40mm drop and I think I am almost there!

Steering wheels suits the yellow well! Looks tiny though what size is it?

 

Wheels look great. :)

[tarche2 0]

300mm it is small but brings some more feel bach to the driving!!!! Thanks for the comment! :)
