Hi guys!

Ive just got 2 new cars so thought id share them both with you.

The first car ive got i got because i cant be insured on the 2nd car until october because of my age

The first car is a mint condition A reg Ford Fiesta Mk2 for £350





The second car which i have got to do up and start driving is...

A Vauxhall Calibra 2.0 16v XE Redtop for £895











Planned Mods:-
Delocking the doors with painted handles
Debadging the boot
Smoked side repeaters
Leather interior reupholstered
Bonnet lifter struts
New cambelt / tensioners
Hopefully an irmscher spoiler
and a chrome battery cover

Cheers

Loving that Fiesta . It's a really good example. You wouldn;t happen to be selling it once you get insured on the Cab would you?

those look like MK 2 Fiesta Bumpers on that ?

take a shot of the dash - I wonder if its a very late Mk1 ?

If your thinking of tax exempt as in classic tax exempt it doesent role on, think lat year is 1971, it wont become 1972.

Good isn't it. In 50 years you can take comfort in a '93 Astra still being a modern car.

UPDATE::

Right within the last week my dads done a lot of stuff to the car that i said i was going to do. Saves me a job!

Please excuse the state of the car its covered in pollen and one of the jobs he didn't do was clean the bloody thing! lol

Right:
Boot has now been debadged

There are a couple of small scratches where it looks like the badges have been stolen before, however these should be ok with a bit of t-cut or touch up...

A stereo surround has been fitted to cover the metal cage which was previously on show!


Bonnet lifters have been added to get rid of the horrible rusty bonnet strut!


Two new gaitors have been fitted to get rid of the old shabby ones



The drivers side leather bolster was split and badly damaged so thats been reupholstered


A battery cover has been added to cover the horrific battery!

I will also be getting a shiney chrome style manifold cover as the old one is rusty and lets the engine bay down big time.

I will also be taking out the underbonnet carpet! (it gets the shiney bits dirty lol)

New smoked side repeaters are being delivered shortly and ill be off to vauxhall on wednesday for a touch up pen (or whatever they have) and a cambelt / tensioners

I already think its starting to look better (albeit dirty)

Just on a side note i phoned my parents yesterday and they told me that my dad had crashed the car into a van emerging from a junction and then he had been rear ended... they kept up the fascade for 20 minutes before bursting out laughing! ... gits

Why would you take off the badge? :S
