feck me thats low!

lookin good mate

wait till you see how low it is in the flesh guys, it really is low, i want to go lower now, lol

***UPDATED***

Wel iv been a busy boy, decided to invest in a spray gun and compressor as i wanted this car to be done on as much of a budget as possible, then i got a few bits to gether and got a mate (russ) to come round and show me how to spray so the process started

russ posing





then we got down to striping the car of its bumpers and arches, my baby looked cold an naked on the road next to marks





then once eveything was off we got down to preping the bumpers and arches and putting them in primer



once a few coats were done and dry it time for some colour, i picked a colour very close to the colour of my wheels, its a grey with a blue and silver flick to it





whilst all this was goin on i had a lovely call to say my new 195/45/15s had arrived so off i went to pick them up, so a few days later i got the tyres put onto the cav wheels



once they were on i hade to wait a week to have my wheel alignment done as it was stupidly out since puttin the shocks on the front,

so by wed just gone everything was finished or so you would have thought, but since iv had the car iv never been happy with the height of the rear of the car since the front is so low (approx 70mm so i got onto a custom springs company who were able to make me up some 90mm rear raod springs, they are so comfatable to drive on bit bumpy but driveablility is 2nd to none and heres the difference

before

looks lovely as always

omg when i seen the before pics of the wheels i thought you had mixed them up.

a simple set of side skirts would look the biz in the same colour as the parts you have just painted.

already on the cards matey just got a few things i wanna do really and there not really priority at the moment

not bad seen as tho iv done it all in 16 wks

before



after

wel today i went to where russ works and he sprayed a few more bits for me now the scuttle panel and the boot lock surround are painted same colour as the arches and i have a set of delocked vetra handles in primer wanted to be painted brocade yellow, all stil in the spray booth drying but its wel worth it the finish is superb, cheers rus!!

few more pictures from today

looks great, stupidly low, but I like it!

when you gunna fit the handles?

looks great john, what you need now is a semi smooth boot like lawtons, finish it off a treat

semi smooth boot wil not be happening, iv just fitted the tigra scuttle panel and the boot lock surround painted the same colour as the arches

although the arches painted are the same idea this car is not gonna look like marks or be a copy of it in any way, as all my mods are being done cheaply and in any way differnt to how the last one was done

Car looks top dog John, keep it up, what else you doing?

nt much really, just cheap and cheerfull stuff badles gril came today

ooooo, badgless grill, good cheap mod, look forward to seeing it on

Badgeless grille hey that is a gd lil mod. i jst need mine sprayin n will need russ's help but cnt be bothered at the mo but ur cars coming along gd.

Thats low John

Need to do mine again

Do you get any rubbing???
