Project xsi-6 2010 new look

Got back on to this today

Started with giving the wheels and mirror caps a coat of paint












Then i got on to painting the bumpers and spoiler





Just got the boot to weld/smooth and paint

Wheel look cool!

What you going for a kind of euro look?

Yeah sort of, i'm making it more drivable as an every day car so decided on standard bumpers, so had to get standard boot to be able to remove the spoiler and as it will look standard smoothed i thought a bright set of wheels would make it

Wheels are stunning

Good progress Simon

Should be a totally different car to look at when there put on!

Fitted new valves in the wheels and inflatted tyres, refitted the grill and drivers rallye blank t bumper



fitted the mirrors

Called at the shed after work and prep'd the boot for welding tomorrow night

Will this be on the road by Sunday Si?

Nice to see how it's coming along.

No wont be done before sunday dont even think i'll get the rallye repaired for sunday so will be in the van or the 7 aka diesel power

Wont take long to bang the wheels and bumpers on mate, get it done for the weekend. I like the colours mate, think this will look really nice.

More than just the wheels and bumpers to do, boot lid needs smoothing and painting rear panel (below lights) needs smoothing and paint/blending

new brake lines front and rear, cam belt is 18months over due no Tax or MOT

Monday after work i changed the front bumper





Tonight i started on the boot/bumper stripping ready to weld weld boot and hopefully get painted this weekend



Puled the false floor and sub box out to get to the bumper bolts





All ready for welding, filling and painting

Looking good! Nicely shaped sub box in the boot

Imagine the size i could fit in the truck :p

Looking nice, I think the headlights should go the same colour as the wheels/mirror caps

Where did you get that sub box? Looks snug!

Lights not being opened again

box/install is a 'Plush Automotive' fits really nice original build price was £400+

£400?! Whoah! I guess the quality is brilliant for that price, though. Looks great either way

Yes it is good i didnt pay that for it though

Any updates simon. Got to see it all together love the euro look my self

want to see it on a 306

liking the progress fella, unsure bout the whiteness tho

Got all the painting done last weekend, did the cam belt and waterpump today, going fit some braided brake lines and cat during the week then its booked in for MOT next sat i've then got 2 weeks of cleaning etc ready for taxing on the 1 oct

Back in January/February soon after buying the Integra the 306 was parked up and that is basically where its stayed since, this morning i connected the battery up and she started first turn drove her home and this is how she looked














And after just a quick wash, just a shame the weather isnt any better or i would have got the polisher on it










Not a bad shine considering just shows Meguiars does work

Didn't take long to get it back looking nice Si

Hoping for a dry weekend next week so i can do the works on the paint and get it looking mint once again and the interior needs a good clean out then its on to sorting out the wiring fault on the amps which is causing a voltage drop fingers crossed its just a bad earth or a bad live connection

Bought a new camera midweek so had a play and took a few pics
