When i first got the car decemebr 2007-


Took me a fair few months to actually spend anything on it appart from cleaning it, firstly i had the car go in for a full sevice and a cambelt and waterpump, when the garage had finished they took it to the bodyshop and had the sill repaired as there was damage to it from the previous owner, whilst i was catching a tan in egypt

Then i started enjoying the car for wat it was attending shows and deciding what to do........

At ultimate dubs 2008 parked next to me mates mk1 -


Then i set field and decided some RM's were needed so i set out to find a set in need of a refurb, finding a set standards which did need a refurb for 375quid so a bargin, they went to mike the polisher and got a full refurb powercoated black baskets and bolts chrome plated, whilst they was away i got a set of stainless dish's brand new 1.5" and 2", when they got back i had the fun of building em up,

trail fit-



And having a set of toyo proxes t1rs fitted all round in a 195/45 to give it s slight strech.

i needed to adjust the coilovers as they was rubbing so got the c-spanner out and started adjusting and then guess what they were that seized on, i ended up snapping one of the lock of clean off :-X baring in mind i set my hopes upto get em done for edition38 2008 so that was a no go'er got myself a whole new set of o-rings ordered direct from fk and had them all refurbed after edition so now there just like brand new £80quid poorer on o-rings

finshed article being after full coilover refurb-






thats how it stayed for a while then i added a few little touches a stubby drivers side mirror, got the b-pillars done in black, de-wipered the tailgate and also decided to add a bit of colour to the wheels :-p ......

wheels took me quite a while but its summat different just used red vinyl might not be to everyones likings but easy to take off.... (pics from the skeg-vegas show)

Those wheels are cool as! Got any motion pics??

Look at who is finally here! Nice work Jason, glad you had them built, they look stunning

nope but ill try and get some does look good driving past a window tho lol

aye took me long enough eh max but got there in the end

coming along well jason, definitely need some rolling shots

looking good mate. liking the new wheels and stance

agreed i definitely need to get my ass back on the BBS RS train

cheers for ya comments guys...

aye get some bought tomo, only pain is bloody cleaning em lol

must be a bit of a pain to polish them with the vinyl on!

still tricky without the vinyl on lol, still a pain but once clean bling lol

small update(not the best of pics taken em on phone)
just washed it-



And ive had a mate make me up a custom cold air feed just waiting for him to finish it of by getting it on his polisher, then it can be fitted-


also got a pair of mirror casings which are going shiney black.....

Have you trial fitted the air feed?

yeah kinda, im gonna need a bit of hose and then shorten the connector to the bmc down a tad, as it'd be to far over with the hose that'll connect it to the bmc and the air feed if ya get me !
