oh yes, its me. finally making a build thread from my deck! this is going to take a while seeing as iv owned the car now for 8 months! but here goes, few pics of when i picked it up and though the stages of work iv had done, and to the most recent jobs iv got done and or waiting to fit. 

 

Morning after i picked it up big silly 17s stupid stickers. good base but not my cuppa.

i put it back on the standard wheels. then noticed it needed to be a bit lower so i wound down the crap ebay coilovers.

few lil things i did next. took the rear wiper off and bunged the hole, took the rear end apart and gave it a good jet wash i remember it looked like it had lived off road!

NEXT UP was its big trip to the bodyshop. originally had gone in for a small list of bits but my mate who owned the place sat with me having a chat and we decided on a full respray and loads of other bits. absolute ledge! lots of pics of the time there. :D

Looks like a lot of hard work man. Nice love the smoothed bumper.

''and having both front wings re done due to them being creased with the wheels hitting the arches''

This I don't get. But whatever floats ya boat.

That along with buying nice expensive wheels, full respray then putting ditchfinders on, each to their own. Doubt being that low it would get very far around here with the endless pot holes and speed bumps, that's just my street!

 

Kudos for the effort though.
