I had loads of plans for it, but being a student i cant really afford to do it up much.

 

However - wheels are next on the list, probably 16s. Then its a service at stealth and hopefully a respray with a few bits colour coded/smoothed (same colour). Few other bits like exhaust and keeping it going well

 

Just wanna get it mint and looking nice. One day :)

 

With 17s, it was lowered 50mm at front and 55-60mm on back.

 

When i first got the suspension i had it lowered about 70mm on 17s. Didn't last long like that tho, scrubbed like a c**t at the front. Looked soooo phat though 8)

Hey Rob, your not doing bad for a student... :)

 

I would love rims, but I'll stick with what I have til the weather perks up, unless some rims I really want come along :lol:

 

I more or less want to do the same things to main bodywise, see what happens, only had it just over a month...

 

With regards to the drop on 17's, sounds like it was sitting nice then..

 

Love cars slammed on big rims....

 

hence my old car... :wink:

I take it you don't use those wheels during the winter then Rob, hence the car running on the 1.8 16v standard wheels at the minute? Looks sweet on them though!!! :)

 

I always thought your car was like a dark burgundy / maroon kind of colour - though only ever seeing the car in the evening does kinda trick you I suppose! :(

There's a meet of Type 53s in Syston, Leicestershire on 18th April (won't be there myself as it's my lad's christening) at the Hobby Horse Pub on the A46. I'll try to get there later if I can...

Should look really good with those Ronals 8) Well, I'm already looking forward to switching over to summer time again, longer evenings, can finally take some daylight shoots at the Coventry meets :D

Do you mean the 15th April, or is there another meet on the 18th ? I posted something on the events forum for the 15th April here.

Very nice indeed. I do like the back end, the colour coding of everything works really well. But you know what you want on there? A nice Milltek or something... :D

 

Think I might have to do the same with the number plate surround. What are you doing with your old wheels btw?
