Betty the beast hah

[Rebeltog]

Hello people of MSC,
I am fairly new to the world of motoring all of my mates have been driving for ages so I know enough to get me by.
This is my k11 ally Betty, 1.0 1999, 59000 on the clock with a nasty tesco scratch down the side .
Fully stock apart from the head unit, de-badged and bump stripped, colour coded center console and dial hood with black sprayed grille.

Future plans.
50mm drop possibly more.
13" banded steels (maybe).
roof rack. (for the bmx)
upgraded front speakers and sub.
change the door cards.
wind deflectors.
clear side repeaters.
Bucket seats.
rear wiper removal.
oh and change the boot handle.
Thanks for looking

Silver's the second best colour, after the weird bluey/purpleness of "blurple"

Little update Covered one door card will eventually spray the plastic but for now it's staying standard

 

[Rebeltog]

Thinking about a set of these in 15", any ideas?

Ideally will need spacers to clear spigot and fill the arches, or open up centre bore to clear spigot.
I had those rims on my SR......

I bought extended studs and spacers but never got round to fitting them before I sold the car :/
I opened up the centre bore with a Flapwheel to clear spigot

Little update,


Stripped out the back seats, found some Korean coins under the bench.

Colour coded the centre, gear knob surround, and dial pod.

Re-covered the door cards.

Hopefully picking up some generic reclining bucket seats and might re cover and extend the boot lining.

 

[cgten]

Nice cards!

 

[Rebeltog]

Made a start on the boot floor today, fairly basic but I am deciding whether or to put a sub in or not.

 

[Rebeltog]

Another update,
Seats are in, got them for a bargain need a proper clean but the weathers turning bad again .
Roof bars and the bike rack.
Next on the list colour code the bumper corners.
Carpet the boot and line the underneath.

So it's been a few weeks since I've posted any updates, Betty is coming along nicely.
Saving up to lower her still undecided on what method coilys lowering springs or alto springs.
