Welcome to Pixel Car Art

Even though this is going to be a slow ass build, I think I deserve my own topic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

The day I brought it home:

As you can see, the car is pretty OK but needs some TLC here and there. I took out the ugly ass speaker box between the seats (barely visible on the following pic) and removed the sun visors:

And since this week, I have a lip installed!

It's a cheap and s**tty fibreglass lip. In the future I'm going to upgrade to a PU one. I promised myself never to use zipties... But I don't see any other way to attach the lip. This will have to do for now.

Other than that.. These arrived in the mail today:

These will replace the ugly orange blinkers that are on the car now.

Future plans:
-Slowly freshen up the engine, replacing everything I can do myself.
-Lower the car a bit but not too much, kinda "functional" stance.
-New wheels (15x7). Currently on 16x? and they're in rough shape. Smaller wheels also fit the car better imo. I'm thinking Rota/JR Wheels, or something else that's relatively cheap but decent.
-As said, going to replace the front lip for PU ones, and also getting side skirts and a rear lip. Also maybe a ducktail/low spoiler.
-Replace the complete exhaust system.
-Either get the seats fixed or replace them for second hand ones that are in good shape.
-Replace the steering wheel and shift knob.
-Get rid of the wooden trim (it's peeling off and it's not OEM).
-Replace the orange reflectors for white (front) and red (rear) or all white.
-Delete the antenna including the base.

So yeah.. That's it for now. Thanks for reading (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)
