£350!!!! THats awesome!

griffo20022 · 17-04-2008, 16:31

'Tis a manual dude, I f*cking love it! Wish I could afford to run one lol!

We tidied it out yesterday as it must have been stood for fooking ages! Found a newspaper in the boot from 2004

Think we're stripping out the interior this weekend so if anybody wants some very good condition black leathers let him know

hehe look at the Volvo in the air lol!

Quail · 17-04-2008, 16:34

This is such a cool car for £350, im well jealous! Whats the plans? Strip it out and mig the diff?

griffo20022 · 17-04-2008, 16:36

No need to mig the diff dude, LSD as standard Tyte!
Yer think were gonna just strip it, sell the interior (which will bascially pay for the car) and have fun!

Captain Muppet · 17-04-2008, 16:37

Shit. Mine was 600 quid. And mine is maroon with tiny 15" wheels

Ace car for the money. You welding the diff or does it have one already?

griffo20022 · 17-04-2008, 16:47

As above dude, it's got an LSD on it already so that's half the battle

The guy he bought it off works in a BMW breakers near birmingham. The guy had bought it to break! Got MOT till next week and tax until the end of this month too lol!

Should hopefully be seeing it at the May Pod day if all goes well

That's exactly the plan dude. The money made off the seats will at least half the total price of the car! May aswell let them go to somebody who would enjoy them more than he would

Plan i think is to sell the interior and do as you said Oli get cloth seats and in time maybe get buckets and use the seat rails of the cloth seats for em

M88TOX · 20-04-2008, 19:30

after a long day me and griffo stripped the car woop woop
stage 1 remove back seats :thumb:

stage 2 remove front seats lol :thumb:

stage 3 remove carpits and fount a full size swimmin pool lol :thumb:

junk so far :tramp:

stage 4 after the seats was taken out and we finaly got rid of all the water we gave it a quick spray of black and removed glove box and put seats back in

stage 5 put rage 4 Point harnesses in thanks to Monster R32 what a bargin

finaly got it all done in 1 day thanks to griffo just need to do a bit more now and its ready for the roads

Jimthejunior · 20-04-2008, 19:33

How to ruin a pimp'in skidder in one day. The drift "look" is overated, as is candy stripping. If your gonna do a job, do it properly

griffo20022 · 20-04-2008, 19:38

To be fair dude, if it were his daily car I would agree with you, but it's a second car that's for fun, and if it's gonna help with perfromance in the slightest (especially a bit of fuel economy lol!) Then why not lol! It was gonna end up in more peices than this if he hadn't of bought it so why not? It's been done for a purpose more than an image. Plus you get to find out the problems such as the water under the carpets aswell (which was REALLY bad) before they get worse.

M88TOX · 20-04-2008, 19:48

yeah as he sed lol

Dogs Danglies · 20-04-2008, 20:09

Loving the leathers, and harness, looks like a gentlemans slide car.
