Purchased new N/S headlight as its scratched.Things to do.Full service and cambelt.Front and rear bumpers. VTI-S if I can find them...Fit the new headlight.Front fogs and brackets (HOW MUCH?!!!!!!!!!!)New N/S/F wing + paint!!Clear side repeaters.Then the mods can begin.....Any comments or questions welcomed!!

Dave Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yeah mate, clears. They're from an accord, straight fit. The ones from the rover 400/45/mgzs are also a direct fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalesi2001 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yeah thats sweet mate, let me know when you wanna sell them then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalesi2001 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi again, well here is a few slightly better pics, now its had a good wash and polish. Shame the sun decided to go in as soon as I picked up the camera!! They might help to explain why I wanna put bumpers on it, and tart it up a bit before modding it a bit!!Once again, and comments or questions welcome!!Its good side....And not so good side!Shiney new exhaust, I know its only a basic genuine one, but it needed to be fixed in a hurry, plus it was cheap... And now for the damage...So there you go, i will try to take pics every time i do something to it now, and keep you all posted! One day it will be mint again!!!

Dave Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Ouch, can see the damage now mate. Still, new bumper/h-light and she'll be good as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBK89 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Get the damage sorted before any mods any you'll never look on the car badly... if that makes sense??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalesi2001 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Just a quick update, spent some time on the car today, carried out a full service on the old girl, changed the oil and filter, plugs, fuel and air filters, gearbox oil, brake and clutch fluid, adjusted the valve clearances, timing and base idle. Runs like a dream now!! Also changed the cambelt, didnt take many photos as my hands were dirty, but heres a few to prove i did it!!Only used normal genuine parts, nothing exciting for the time being!!Still gotta do the coolant as I completely forgot about it, will do that soon. While on the ramp i found that my rear anti-roll bar drop links are completely shot, so they will be replaced very soon!! Everytime i look at her i find more things wrong, will i ever get to a point where i can start modding the car?! Also, thanks to Dave I have fitted some clear side repeaters on her, and I have a few dash parts coming from another seller so when they are fitted I post some new pics, oh yeah, i will need to show it the sponge to! And finally, im off out on sunday, i have managed to grab me a bargin for the M, gotta pick it up so when i get it i will let you all know........
