#1: My first car project Author: Pearcy, Location: BoltonPosted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 7:37 pm ---- 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.

I beg to differ!!!

Always thought front ends were overrated anyway

#6: Re: My first car project Author: Taff!, Location: Havant nr PortsmouthPosted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 1:42 am ---- 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

named them all in my first post mate, whilst fixing it's having the nimmies put on, colour coding and a spoiler for now. Going to see how it looks done before i do anything else.

#9: Re: My first car project Author: Pearcy, Location: BoltonPosted: Tue Oct 05, 2010 1:26 pm ---- Well i've not been in much of a rush but not im working again i can afford to run it, it's all been painted (bar the plastic trims!!!! told them i wanted them painted!) so will do it myself now, flared wings on and painted, most of the parts here just need to build it back up now. pics tomorrow probably.
#10: Re: My first car project Author: Pearcy, Location: BoltonPosted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:15 pm ---- Well it's been a while (no rush) Pretty much finished now just need to put the wheels on and get it lowered and some arches!
Looks better in the flesh i think and the pics are a bit dark btw
#11: Re: My first car project Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:17 pm ---- Very tidy very low mileage as well, wish I was as lucky to be in the business as you
#12: Re: My first car project Author: Smudge, Location: RedcarPosted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:25 pm ---- That's a massive change from the first post, looks really good fella. Those GTi front wings on it?
#13: Re: My first car project Author: Pearcy, Location: BoltonPosted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:32 pm ---- Looks better in the light but yeah converted all the lights to ph2, flared wings, nimrods, spoiler, honeycombe grill, and colour code. Thanks for comments really chuffed with it and it's super clean.
#14: Re: My first car project Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:37 pm ---- Has it got nimrods on one side and steelies on the other?!
#15: Re: My first car project Author: Pearcy, Location: BoltonPosted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:40 pm ---- Yeah, i've got some on another car i've not picked up yet yet, im not driving it dont worry! Though i like the look on the side of the steelies at the minute for some reason.
