Hey all, thought i would stop being lazy and post my car up. it all started with this . Sorry about the small pic. It had these tail lights :vomit: sorry not a big fan, It's a 1989 TT auto, it had 18" by 7s all round, a single 3" cat back system. A Sony DVD player head unit with 2 kicker amps in the boot, one for the 12" sub and the other for the kicker splits in the front. . The first thing i had to buy was the tail lights so went and got some stock ones i don't have many pictures of it when i first bought it i lost them when i moved house. After i got the lights i went and got my wheels back and put them on . all was going good till i overheated it :bash: so it all started then. i started with a paint job and a body kit. and then its finished (painted) so i thought anyway!! . As the weeks went on i started to sort out what to buy to fix the motor anyway i took the heads of and sent them of to get reconditioned and while that was happening i pulled the rest of the motor out and started cleaning everything. then i got the heads back then the work started all i did was get the heads fixed and put it back together im not made of money Its all back in and going after a few little problems so its all going now and ready to cruise. so after all that i went and bought a alloy radiator, coilovers, new temp gauge to put next to my boost gauge in between all of that i took my car to work to put a blue pearl over the purple and clear coat it again so here it is all finished apart from a few little things. thanks to all that helped and taking the time to read this tread.
Lost of work to do at the strat, but the finishe makes it all worth while. lol Just kidding. good thread though
Wow bud.The colour change set it off much better.I didnt like the kit at first but once everything came together,It makes a big awesome impact . The nice ride height gives a top looking stance.The tints!.And brazillioned.Are those mufflers your using magnaflow cannons?For the Mags,I'd buy a Supercheap buffer/polisher ($35) and hit those rims hard with some polish...Bling.
Nice work. I suggest you get a fan shroud though, they help the car cool much more effectivley. Nice paint.
IMHO, I liked the previous look better (with the exception of the taillights). The extra funds could've gone into wider wheels + new tyres, 2K-spec taillights, sway bars / strut braces, and/or a third gauge... but that's just my opinion Why didn't you respray the engine bay to suit while you had the opportunity?
I like the paint as well... I'm sure you know this already, but i'd suggest you relocate those ballasts from your engine bay before they die. I'd had mine in there temporarily for about a month until they died...
i didnt do the engine bay cause im LAZY and didnt want to pull all that crap of and put it back on and those ballasts yeah i will now u said that where abouts can i put them though
Most put them under the nose panel up front, mounted on the metal panels. Great work Luv the colour:zlove: It's all come together well.
done a lot of work there but with all that fibreglass everywhere else the hatch looks like it needs something.
