Stuck this in my new member intro post but thought as there was a proper section I'd stick it here too :)

Here are a few pics of the wife's birthday present, picked up Sunday and driven all 367 miles back home from Cardiff, greedy bugger wouldn't let me have a go! ;)















12months MOT and runs sweetly. And now the work begins.

Couple of questions:-
* Rust on chrome, is there a way to remove it, shine it or is it a lost cause?

* Paint on chrome, as above, can it be removed/restored easily

* Doors, passenger door is a bit rotten underneath would a replacement have to come off the same year and model or can I look elsewhere too.

* Roof lining, it doesn't have one, where's the best place to look and same as with doors, will only a lining from the same model fit.

I'm sure there will be more questions as we get deeper into things but these will help us get a good start, cheers :)

the wife is planning a respray, just not decided on the colour, she wants it shiny with shiny chrome and additions such as roofrack and rear luggage carrier etc. It's had a slight tap with the lowering stick and we're happy with the stance so nothing to do there.

Then just the inside to tackle, she's already paid £20 for a bit of carpet and temporarily done floor, door cards and roof liner until she sorts it properly, looking better already :)

I'm not saying the wife has caught the bug (pun intended) but she's been off checking places to do a respray, came back a little disheartened when a couple of places said they wouldn't touch it because the paint that's on looks like Hammerite and it seems like too much hard work. Instead of making her sick of the car she just changed her plans.

She got a deal on a box of goodies including 2 new doors (one brand new never used), new bumpers (still wrapped), 2 rear wings with lights, new upgraded headlights, new indicators, new mirrors, aerial, interior light, boot lid, handles, trim, chrome, wheels, a full high back interior and loads more stuff I’ve forgotten, with a promise of anything else he finds to be thrown in. So the decision now is to replace the interior, trim, bumpers and get new chrome and add some decals and run the car as it is till the MOT runs out, once the MOT runs out we’ll strip it ourselves and get it to a state where the painters will touch it and then hand it over to get anything done that is needed for MOT and then respray and she can then go in the direction she chooses.

Oh and one of the goodies in the box, which she brought away with her (she paid a deposit and picks the rest up when she has paid up) was the nice shiny new tailpipe in the post above. Never thought I'd see the day she added something like that to a car of hers. :D
