    looks cracking mate.. but.... them wheels deserve some love.. get them split and powdercoat them centres,. then give the lips some super wet sanding / polishing action.

    Re: rotten raider project...

    well after the guy who was ment to be buying it turned out to be chatting brezze i thought id strip the shocks down, and treat it to some new ones, not bad for £35 the pair of flee bay, im not fitting coilovers as its not a track car, and 60mm springs will do nicely...



    once aprt, i cleaned up all the parts to find one of the top hats cracked, sp wipped the welder out and gave it a blast, should do the job





    next job is going to be to repaint the centres of the wheels a diffrent colour, no sure what yet!!!

    Re: rotten raider project...

    got a bit more done today, got a set of 60mm apex springs for a whopping £10 to replace these cut down kings ...


    and built up the shocks with new bearings etc..



    next on the list was to get rid of the massive barry boys back box..

    and below is the replacment, only cost a fiver, had to welsd a bit in to make it fit, but looks a millon times better imo..





    tommrow ill fit it all back up, and may start on the painting of the wheel centres..

    Re: rotten raider project...

    got a few extra bits for the rot box, new wheel bolts to replace the four locking wheel bolts on each wheel



    then finished faffing around with the exhaust ..



    and because the wheel are drilled ll the way threw from the hubs it was impossible to get the right caps for them, so i settled for these 7 quid ebay audi rs4 one, will do the job...

    well after a bit of faffing around with the dropping door problem, i went down renault and brought a new kit for £40, not bad, and its sorted the drop problem..





    also got a stereo spacer as its a pain fitting all the wires behind the headunit..



    and finished up with putting the 80s door speaker set up back in



    thanks to r5 rich for the clock set...



    and gave it a quick clean up...
