wll rough idea of work id need to put in/pay to get done


euro:

Borbet Ts 16"x7.5j

coilovers

debadged and smoothed

colour coded mirror arms, mirror caps and scuttle panel

de handled and door poppers

smoothed foglight covers


approx: £3k

other option:

stripes

purple mirrors

17"x7j pro race 1.2s with purple painted lip

colour coded mirror arms, handles and scuttle panel

eibach sportlines

approx:£1.5-2k


But can rolf pull it off on such a low budget? :p

Not when you need £600 on coilovers.

without a job? with time and very slow progress i could but wouldnt be finished till about 2012

What happened to the original light???

I like those 'euro' wheels.

Take a look at this badge mod, you purple tinkler.

original light hadnt been assembled properly so the adjuster didnt work meaning the beam was about 8 foot up in the air and due to how they are assembled i couldnt get it on either.

pipedreams my boy
all this wasted effort/money.time to get it in gear and earn some money


not necessarily got a fair bit sitting at the moment as havent been buying ebay crap (or anything else for that matter)

so actually got a fair bit i can blow just havent. probably wont either mind. well not yet :p

Gotta agree with Custard.........I thought you had given all this up :D

never that easy to give up something you enjoy though is it

Untill you get a job keep your car tidy. Just do cheap and simple mods, keep an eye out for bargain parts.

aye thats what im trying to do.

......and what is this "something" you talk about? I am assuming its dreaming, fantasising and BS-ing.
Hmm not seen much evidence of any of these dreams materiaising. Even if they do no one will change their opinion because its only impressive when you do it off your own back. Otherwise youre just a sponge with a few ideas.
