  • Before and after pics of some of my cars. 56K stay away

    OK well since i don't have much to contribute to the forum at the moment as i'm still in china! i thought id browse through some of the pics on my photobucket and see what i could dig up in my car history starting at 14 yrs old so here we go

    first car i have no pics for but it was a Morris 1000 ute


    Second car

    Vauxhall nova 1.4sr

    the white one cause its so old i don't have any before pictures but that's before the cylinder head went bang! and then i sold it and bought another one

    Vauxhall nova 1.2L



    instrument cluster modification

    lowered with a fart cannon

    interior lights

    finished with Astra sport seats and retrimed and painted interior to RICER style

    and how i sold it



    Vauxhall astra 1.4L
    this car i had finally got my license and this is where you get to see me loose my ricerness and really start to play this car not a lot done it was a sound system car really


    full JL audio install

    SPLX subs man wooo 10 pounds off ebay lol

    cleaned and polished and sold on



    arty pics




    Ok so my next buy was 2 cars in 1 day yes two one stayed at work so i could replace the cylinder head and windsheild so first pics are

    Austin mini 1972 1.0




    Ford feista 1.1 RUSTYEST CAR IVE EVER HAD but i wanted to make some money on my 50 pounds buy so i covered it with an XR2I bodykit from a 2 door this is where i learned how to use bodyfiller lol
    taking it to work after picking it up


    at hme


    Almost done just needed the rear finished then i sold it to a mate for 400 pounds 300 pounds profit


    the mini was cumming along slowly
    she got a bucket seat and a photoshoot



    1.0 rebuild time

    finished

    Rolling road session poped the radiator so not much readouts

    and me racing her on time trak monacarno or what ever its called


    Volvo 340gl my attempts at getting into drifting



    car was stolen 3 weeks later along with my astra 1.6L
    this is where i found my astra





    the volvo never turned up

    next 2 cars were experiments
    Vauxhall nova 1.0 saloon and nova 1.3sr plan was to put the 1.3 in the saloon and a 2.0 in the 1.3




    Drop out the 1.0.......... i mean drop!


    clean car make bonnet vents and stuff

    then i got drunk and attacked the car with spray cans bad stage of life


    Finished




    and there is no other pictures of the other car as i cant find any but it turned into a ute not a great one with a 2.0 conversion that never really got finished before i left the country

    but yea thats my life of cars so far and i hope i never make some crap ones again lol

    i plan to to my festiva like i did my mini pull it apart and work on it slowly in the end you get a nice car like my mini. and none of these rush jobs im sick of cycling to work lol

                    well heres some more pics of the mini and her build up



                    one of the studs on my wheels broke when i had changed to disc brakes during a lap on Santa pod heres the damage to it
