Ok guys, here is my beautiful 3 stud Saxo progress thread.
Got her in September for £700 with 12 months MOT, 6 months tax and 3 months warrenty.
I did stickerbomb the fuel filler cap, the glovebox (I still have both) and my wing mirrors but I took them off cause they looked poor after about 3 days in the rain.
Thats how she stayed until 2 weeks ago when I finally managed to spend a little bit of money on her. She was off the road for 2 weeks due to the ECU locking me out so its good to finally be able to drive her again.
I managed to pick up some 3 stud alloys with Toyo Proxis for £50 on eBay, which I thought was a bargin and I think they suit the car.
I have now also painted all badges and the chevrons black, got a new Sax-P sticker so I only have one on the back, fitted angel eyes (which took me about 4 hours to do each side), dice dust caps, bonnet raisers and a bee-sting ariel.
I took these pictures about 30 seconds after I had washed her so she was still drying.
A friend of mine has now given me a huge backbox. I wasn't going to fit it cause it is far too big but I had a look and I kinda like how it looked So this is where you all have to tell me where to go if I fit it
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, haven't got a camera so using my rather poor phone.
My plans are now:
Backbox fitted (maybe a new smaller one around 2")
Lowered about 40mm
Bumpers and bumper strips sprayed gloss black
Alloys sprayed black
Pressed plates
VTR seats
Mk2 rear lights (maybe?)
Thats about it really, any opinions and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
if anyone else on here has a Saxo let me know, want to see other peoples examples. These are very simple cars to work on and I only ever work on my own cars, so if anyone needs a hand let me know.
