mk5corty

dont really think ill go hotwires i reckon the wheels look way to small 15 or 16" would be ideal i reckon.

more pics, i wasnt sure so i chose safer rather than sorry lol springs only 175 a pair so not too bad if i change later.

front/side view

have finsihed this side and nearly finished the other, heres some pics, all are before sand and polish except the bonnet.

yeah i wanted it lower but i got the kyb shocks full set for under half price cos the guy had had them for 6 months and given up his project without installing them. I now have to start thinking about mags, prob go with some 5 star ones or something but money tight at the mo lol.

standard height cos the shocks i got cheap as deal on were standard and if i got low springs then they would get rooted.

heres the grill and part of the door and roof just after paint

the bonnet is up now

have finished the bonnet polished and all here you go

shit didnt see this thread, iyeah the colour looks intense but after a sand cut and polish looks much lighter i will try get more pic tomorow, i am accquiring my sounds at the moment i got a kenwood headdeck and some infinty 6000cs to install and the door cards are only partly retrimmed.

Started the respray and the colour i chose was not even the slightest bit close to what i got i chose a pale metallic green and ended up with a metallic lime green. Not to worry tho i like lime green. heres a pic of teh door masked and sprayed.
