Bonnet coming up looks savage. Any idea why the lock mechanism failed? Could have ended a lot worse so good to see it's all fixed.

Not sure why it failed and it defo could of. just glad it didn't :)

and thanks

Car looks good anyway. ST kit suits that colour, never seen it done before:)

I hadn't but them looked round about and there's more then a few

Put mine 2.0tdci so tad different :) a lot do 1.6 if anything.

sorry to hear about you accident and glad that it ended well as could have been worse.

good to see the car is all back togeather and still looking sweet

So since iv moved out my mum's house on the good side of chorley iv had no issues with my car being left. Now on the not so good side of chorley my passenger fog grill went missing. -_-.

So not only did I have to buy a new one but I also had to spray it as I had only recently just done mine. So decided to do both again as one may be more shiny then the other.

Iv also started to fix a push start for some reason as it was given to me though what the hell.

And also sprayed the bottom of front bumper section under grill.

push start not finished need to do a surround to cover the back of it so looks flush ha.

Mot yesterday passed :)

Good work so far!

Washed, polished, grills back on!

As iv been mostly trying to get car looking decent again and replacing parts that got stolen. Now I'm back in place I can carry on with exhaust.

I said I was going to cut my wheel well out iv decided not to go ahead with that. But I am going to keep st look so a guy that iv recently become friendly with is going to chop the st backbox up and convert it in to pipe work and use original ends. And either just before or after getting my springs on. All to come soon (he says)

Looking good fella

Just had my st box custom made using all the parts off the box bar the straight bar. Few hours to do but looks smart now.

Looks smart!

Looks smart!

Cheers bud

Okay so productive day.

Rear suspension now lowered on 40 mm springs

Also replaced lower arms as bushes where knocking and anti roll bars. So cars same level as front but new springs so may go lower once worn in abit.

Pics to follow when light

Was a good Christmas. And to.top it off my gf arranged with my best mate/sons god father. For him to spray my alloys grey. Feel spoilt :)

Taking it down to his unit and he's letting me borrow one of his cars. See as his mk1 rs is off the road for winter and it all sanded down at the moment being prepped for full respray in and to go for the vts saxo haha

Speedy though

My car for the next two days. Sea grey alloys to come can't wait should look Pritty good are kerbed a fair bit at the moment

Decided to give the saxo vts back cause to much to run. So my mate lent me his mondeo st rims.

Mine are in prep work atm

Washed. Still not got my alloys back yet. Still rolling in the mondeo st alloys.

Rears on 40

Front still standard so looks tiniest bit higher then rear. But ill chuck my 60s on should look sweet.

That looks alright I nearly bought st220 alloys for mine not long ago in till I got facelift St's in grey

Think it looks good on the ST rims. :)

I think it's got a good look aswell and I'd offer a swap but there corroded really bad.

Shame, really suit it. :)

Wheels sanded and getting black primed! Sea grey soon.

And my mates also doing another lads st alloys in sea grey at same time. But his is a real st haha!

For black primer they look pretty decent ha!

Can't wait for end result
