#1: Art_Zee Project Author: Art_Zee, Location: Navan, IrelandPosted: Sun May 16, 2010 4:55 am ---- Bought this car damaged, October 2009. Due to the fact that it was damaged, got a lower price on it. Millage wasn't high on it, so it was worth it.
This is when I started to work on her. Few pics below:
Filling bumps & scratches --> Priming:
i didnt have the "proper" place/garage to do it, so I just had to figure something out... :shura:
Painting - it took me 5 months to get everything ready to finally paint mine P.
Pfuuu....done
Next step - Had to sand it with a wet paper & polish it - results:
(Sold my DSLR, had to use my spare)
Next thing I've done is - I've lowered it after coming back from my holidays & I've tinted the windows(actually before polishing).
So... that's the story lads for now.
Plans are to put a GTI front bumper and a lip, to get the front of a car look lower. Of course - alloys, big time. I've 14" shoes at the moment, want to get 16" lenso BSX or at least something for start - 16" nimrods...will see
Want to paint moulding in body colour & probably get rid of the rear wiper blade.

Didn't spray the whole car though. There are some spots, where you can see the difference, but it's still - not perfection, since I didn't have proper place to do everything, otherwise I'd spray the whole car in an more exotic orange.
Thanks mate.
P.S Love that color!

#12: Re: Art_Zee Project Author: Art_Zee, Location: Navan, IrelandPosted: Sat May 22, 2010 7:04 pm ---- Installed rear passenger interior lights, stole them from BMW E46 coupe. Looks good, will post some pics later.
Also working now on installation of sub woofer in the trunk, by making a double floor, will post pics, when's done.
Cheers
#13: Re: Art_Zee Project Author: Art_Zee, Location: Navan, IrelandPosted: Tue May 25, 2010 10:29 am ---- Did a bit of a work on a subwoofer. I hate the big black box in the trunk, so I thought to make flat box, to create some space, at least to put a bag of potatoes or a box of banana. Looking to finish the whole thing of on this weekend.... will see how I get on. The weather also screams for a time to spend on a beach.
Also have some pics of the work I've done, installing rear passenger lights.
So.... got rid of the rear wiper, looks a lot more better now, since I actually dont use it often & I keep my car clean - no point of having one.
Waxed her & did a cheap photoshoot.
Cheers!

Thought about that, but I don't want to go crazy, want to keep it original, at the same time with a hint of euro.
#16: Re: Art_Zee Project Author: Art_Zee, Location: Navan, IrelandPosted: Sat Jun 12, 2010 2:27 pm ---- It's been a while now, since I've uploaded anything. So, here's the latest.
Got the Subwoofer finished, Moldings painted.
And of course, got her washed today.
This is, how it looks like now
...how the lights look like now.
Then some pics from, how I did the moldings & bumper.
Then, I got some nice pics done.
