My dad deals in salvage so i got a nice 26,000 52 reg 1.4 8v quicksilver, is mint inside and out.
I've currently got 16" nimrods for it, spoiler, most of the parts bar front bumper and passenger wing, just fitted some later style rear lights too.
Plans:
Lower
colour code
refurb the nimmy's in either white, dayglo orange or graphite (not sure yet)
Get a nicely sized back box
maybe shove a 1/6 16v lump in there i can get for free (don't know if this will be hard or not though?)
spacers
black roof lining and black pillars.
Think thats about it for now, will get some more pics when it's more complete.
Oh and my new lights, moved the boot catch a little bit to make them more flush but going to put some spacers on the bolt that holds the lights to bring it out a bit more and bring the gap down a little because im not happy about it atm.

Looks like a good wee project there  . Cant help but notice you said its mint inside and out? It might be my eyesight, but the front end looks like it could do with a little attention

That's nothing, bit of T-Cut will sort it out.
Always thought front ends were overrated anyway

Not keen on the orange proposals. Think antix has orange wheels and it's not great with silver.... blue car would be better results. Graphite or anthracite would look nice I reckon. Not sure on engine transplant but sure someone will help soon
