Miss my old car, wish i could get it back!!!

Hi guys, no more updates I'm afraid, the motor has passed on to a new owner. A young chap brought it and took it up to Gloucester, so let me know if anyone see's it around a lamppost!! Missing it...

Latest update, brought a 3" exhaust that opened out into 4" at the end off a drift motor (no silencers) and got my welder to chop the 4" section off and weld a new 3" outlet on the end. Fitted it...

Right, quick update and lots of pictures!!
Got the car back from the spray shop Sunday morning and it looks amazing.
Not one dent, scratch or bit of rust anywhere.
The whole car was rubbed down,...

Hi guys, been a while since i have posted on here mainly as I havent done anything to the car myself.
Got it back from the garage after having my head gasket done by POLO, done a great job, then...

Yes, that looks the dog's!! Looks like you have thrown a lot of money at it recently?? When will it be finished, in time for some shows i hope??

Right, havent posted on here for a while, not got much to write about apart from the following:

Car has been in the garage for full suspension set up, lazer alignment, MOT (it passed easy).
Then...

Still got the exhaust?? Ground clearance looks pretty good, is it?? I have slammed my car and my Apexisystem sits too low and scrapes on every little bump!!

Cheers mate, dont see much green on gold these days and always liked it.
To be honest, I slightly copied the one in the picture below, i think it looks the dogs danglies!!!
I just haven't gone to...

Cheers mate, always wanted to have a project car but never really had the time before.
Just want to get it ready for Japfest!!

The wheels are nice and only cost me £400, so I cant complain.

I...

Yeah I gotta get some clear fronts, just can't justify spending £80+ on some plastic!!
I got some light diffusers lying around at work, so might have a go at making my own soon.

It is low, I have...

The following saturday morning I decided to tackle the rears in the snow!! Need to get this done as I want to send it to my mates paint shop soon for a re-spray!!
Got the rears fitted in about an...

After a month of waiting these bad boys arrived at the door, took a while as Driftworks were sold out, but kept me in the loop so was very happy!!...

Test fitted the rear wheels after the cage was instelled. Lets just say it looks like a boat at the moment!!
Plus my existing Apex coilovers were seized into the collars, so at more expense i...

Painted the cage in the brightest gold I could find off the Halfords shelf, came out pretty good but managed to chip it in one place when fitting.
Fitting the cage on your own is not fun, but...

Managed to get hold of an apex hall roll cage for the bargain price of £75, it needed painting to my colour of choice but a bargain non the less.
The picture below is trial fitting before I painted...

I then moved on to making the engine bay a nicer place to look.
Replaced the existing rad for a new one, as it had started to leak from somewhere.
All new silicone hoses, engine damper, strut brace...

Some snaps I got of the car one weekend last summer when it was nice and clean. Please note the Buddy Club P1 wheels are now for sale if anyone is interested. Some areas where they are scuffed from...

Right got a spare 15 mins at work so thought I would upload a few more progress pictures.

Basically, I split the work vs xx wheels down, was hoping to get new 5" lips and powdercoat the centres,...

Daveyboydave, my washer bottle wasn't working and look battered, so ripped it out and now have a small easy accessible one where my battery was.

Smaler, I have still got a ton of pictures to...

Just a few pictures of my old motors too, do quite miss my scooby but it doesn't compare to the Nissan!!
The Audi was nice, bit bright and slow being just the 2 litre non turbo model!!!...

After I picked the car up, i wanted to get it cleaner and move a few things around.
Removed the rear wiper and ariel, blanked off both holes....

Basically I have had my car for over a year now and have made some changes of my own along the way.
Thought i would start a build thread of what I have done, as all the major tuning works was...

Car looks great as you brought it, right up my street :-)
I would be interested in the exhaust system when it's for sale, drop me a PM to discuss.
