My car 1st pics (56k run for the hills)

[rt_blackpool]

I've been posting on here for a while now, and thought its about time to get some pics up :)
only got her about 2 weeks ago, but already done some engine related stuff to her. the bodywork isnt good, a few scrtaches and a shit load of stone chipping at the front.
she's not road legal yet but hopefully should have her all ready for FCS :) there was no service history with her, but it doesnt mater much as i plan to re do just about everything anyway.

by the way, before anyone says anything, i havnt done anything to this car that you can see.
the rear shelf/fuel cap isnt my doing and will getting changed! lol


Front:- loads and loads of stone chips on the front, it looks shocking!
also someone's managed to carve their name (or something) into the bonnet to the right of the rain catcher. :( :evil:
however im not bothered about body work, i just want to get her mechanicaly sound 1st

Rear:- everything at the back seems to be ok, and i really like the fact someone's colour coded the bit where the boot handle is (between the light clusters).
only thing is a bit of a scratch on the bumper/bumper strip on the drivers side rear corner.

Wheels and Brakes:- Im not a big fan of these wheels and will be changing them soon.
She needs new pads all the way round, is it worth replacing the discs as well?

when ever u do anything on the breaks dude, change pads and discs
unless brand new, u need to change them no point putting new discs on old pads or vice versa

but apart from that dude car looks schweet! like the boot handle

if u need ur bonnet spraying pm me 8)

[clowo16v]

You can just change the pads and leave the old disks if they're not too bad, but never put old pads on new disks.

If I had to change disks & pads every time it'd cost me a fortune I need to change them every 4-5000 miles.

thanks :D i nearly bought a blue one, but its such a comman colour, i wanted something a bit more stand out so when people saw it they'd go "wow, a red vavler"

+ it makes it easier for u guys to spot when its back on the road :P

Nice car mate - I really like them in that colour. Was this the one that was on Ebay a few weeks ago? based in wales somewhere IIRC?

[titch16v]

nice car

Nice car similar to mine. The red is really growing on me. When i first got the car i didn't really like the colour that much. Now i am actually very pleased with it. Yours is also a 1991 right?
