Thought I would put up a project thread for my brother, he is a member on here but because he doesn't have a laptop etc he's not able to log on to the forum so being the big brother i'm doing it for him Laughing

he's just past his test but has had his xsi for a number of years which his gf drove, but now he has it to himself and has set about getting it back to ship shape condition as the bodywork isn't that good.

He started today by stripping out the back seats and rear quarter panels so he can give the inside a thorough clean and found a budweiser bottle cap but no money, he does have the following planned for it

sort bodywork/interior to standard factory
morette headlights or black angels
sp arches
new set of wheels
ice install

here's a few pics I quickly took

Since so many report this crease its more than likely caused by a common issue, perhaps engine mounts allowing engine to shake and knock the inside of the bonnet on severe potholes/speed bumps?

I also notice the edge of the bonnet meeting the wing curves a bit, probably down to that time you said it was shut with the bonnet catch not right

yeah he did Matt, he rents a flat out there but it will be on the road by end of next week so you might see it more near Katie's as he lives at the top of station road where the co-op is

small update on my brothers xsi, he's had some 5.25" infinity kappa coaxial speakers lying around for ages so he finally decided to install them, however they are in the front doors as he's already got a set of infinity's in the rears, because he's a welder/fabricator he made some base plates to secure to the existing speaker housing, didn't even measure anything and fitted perfect 1st time, anway, here's pics of what he done

 

 


next up he's making some door pulls for the inside until he gets a set of new doorcards
