Hello all! It's been a long time coming (spent 2 years lurking and dreaming of modding my runabout) And the build begins now! Here's my little 1.0 2000 S
Bought it at 42,000 miles and there's hardly any corrosion! Since owning this little beaut I've done a few odd bits about it to spruce up 18 years of wear, such as going over all the nasty faded grey plastic trim (apart from the door handles) , an SR spoiler painted with Halfords' finest midnight blue and stuck on with no more nails.
Its a shoddy job but it was all I had at the time. The body is in decent shape, bar a few dings and cracking paint, plus a fantastic keyjob by the previous owner who obviously loved his drink a little too much...
At this point in time the only major work done to it is a Fury Autoworx intake and ebay's finest rev clock, which reads wrong at anything above 1k (anyone got a helping hand for that one?
Most recently I bit the bullet and dusted off the wallet to shell out for some new front brake rotors and EBC greenstuff pads (sorry for the bad photo) and since feeling the difference in the upgrade I've decided its time to really shell out the big bucks, and have got Fury Autoworx coilovers and a Gizfab panhard rod coming in the post soon hopefully!
Keep your eyes peeled for the results of the new lows, and any suggestions of what else should be done to this little beast to keep my love for it burning hot would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies for the long post, this is my first proper blog post on the forum and I've a long way to go to get the quality posts you're all used to seeing.
