Hey all, I'm new here, but not to mk1s. This little puppy is my 4th (and its a keeper this time i hope!)

(white primer strip now gone thank god. Had a touch of rust i was rectifying)

Do a lot of updates via my workshop blog www.garagebytheshed.blogspot.com, but its been a wee labour of love getting it up to a respectable standard. Off the top of my head there are celica discs and calipers on it, full stainless system, induction kit, braided brake lines, and poly bushes to come soon...

Hi Tommy, very nice, i really wanted to fit the LDM rear lights to my red one, totally transforms the rear of the car :)

Small world Donna! yea, this wee one is my pride and joy. Yours was going to be something a little more "brutal" if i go for it... ;)

OMFG, are you seriously thinking of a "Brutal Conversion" ?, this really makes me want to sell it to you now on the understanding that if you sell it once its converted i get first dibs. I have wanted a Mk1.5/mk1.6 since i got my first mk1 in 2007. I would also require a pax in it too. ha ha

[tommytank]

What on earth is a Pax?? Yea, plan is a V6. If i can scrape enough together to do it to another car i will, otherwise it will be my mica getting the treatment, in between my Camaro getting rebuilt...

PAX = passenger

PAX = passenger

Thanks Jimi :)

[tommytank]

Gotcha. Yea im sure that could be arranged!

Another month offshore, another rape on my wallet. eBay will be the death of me, i swear. This time its been a fruitful scavenge for the AW11. We have collected together the following:

* Proper pair of JDM arch extensions for the wider Image rims
* Full poly bush kit for the suspension. Buying it was clearly the easiest part of this mod, the fitting will be pain to the max. I hope this will clear up the noises if not then.....
* New rear tie bars, with rose jointed ends. Twobrutal Group buy and should hopefully eliminate the spine chiilling clunk from the back. If not its gonna be coilover time.
* Jimi bracket. Cheers Jimi!
* Leather seats. Black, and probably needing a refurb. Still, should be good.
* Amp wiring kit, to go with...
* 2x 8" subwoofers, that i plan to mount in between the seats, viper style. This will replace the rear cubby thing. MDF construction with...
* Leatherette sheeting, which will cover it to make it look stock.
