Me & My More Door, The Little Blue Beast

[BigBenson14]

Hi all,

Joined the forum recently and just thought i'd start a thread where i can upload the progress of my first car. I've had this car since September last year when i bought it off of a colleague at work, he'd already bought his next car and wanted to get rid quick, so it was mine for £300!

Yes it's a piece of sh** but it's my piece of sh**

There's some slight rust on the body work which i'll eventually get round to sorting but other than that the car's pretty solid. I'm not too sure exactly how i want to go about modding the car at the minute; currently i'm just doing some small mods/repairs but i aim to push the boundaries a little sooner or later.

So far i've fitted bluetooth , colour coded some of the interior trim, and given the engine bay a good clean.

Apprentice wage is next to nothing at the minute, so as when i get the funds i'm slowly going to keep going. The next thing i'm thinking is remote locking & electric windows as i'm getting sick of forgetting to lock my car

I've just bought an accident damaged 1.4i Corsa off eBay (gonna' collect it soon), i aim to do an engine conversion using the that car as a donor! The rest of the car will be stripped and sold if anyone needs any bits PM me. I'll put a post up about it sooner or later:)

It's worth it, i think it makes the inside a lot better, i also carbon fiber wrapped the crash panel but i was thinking about sticker bombing it..not too sure yet! If you need any help though man either post here or PM me, i'll help as much as i can

[Barraclough]

I want to carbon wrap that part but ran out after doing my pillars. Here's how mine looks
Need more paint for the MFD and the part above the clocks you done

[Domwhitex]

That looks pretty sick actually mate, you say you've carbon fiber wrapped the door pillars? that doesn't sound like a bad idea, you've done a good job on the paint though, i like it

[Barraclough]

The front pillars, can kinda see it in the first pic. Looks miles better than cream

[andy w]

[Barraclough]
