Ha ha you will when the trim becomes irritating just be on it like a shot sorting it out


RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 24-09-2014

Wheels all fitted 15mm rear spacers 50mm drop front 10mm spacers 60mm drop and no scrubbage


RE: project additions and tidy up - mcglynn - 08-11-2014

Looks well mate, could do with coming down another touch at the front to match. Nice looking Motor though

Thank you, it's been a slow project but with me not wanting to change much it's getting the way I want it, now to sort out the insides try and source a decent drivers seat


RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 05-01-2015

So after losing a wheel and damaging various parts on the car, it now sits in disarray covered in road grime back on the dirtiest of cyclones, time to vamp it up a gear and get her ship shape again
The search is on for a wing and front bumper in moonstone, currently having a set of hubcentric's machined for the fronts and going over to a stud conversion, also on the list of to do's order the bilsteins raise the front 20mm as it has settled and is too low for my drive, fit the newly acquired headlamp protectors sort out the sticky caliper, refit 17s and give her a damn good wash polish and wax


RE: project additions and tidy up - 7057sam - 05-01-2015

Wow what happened? ?losing a wheel?

Looked spot on in the last photo


RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 06-01-2015

Either someone got interupted stealing my wheels or the bolts were not done up correctly on its last visit to garage dropped 4 bolts and landed car on the wheel


RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 09-01-2015

RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 17-01-2015

Update.....

Found a wing for a bargain price of 5 English pounds headlamp protectors are fitted and looking smart, need some advice on limiting damage to side skirt upon removal to refit wing any tips appreciated


RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 23-01-2015

The old damaged wing

Wing removed with little fuss

New wing somethings not looking right here
[Image: 20150117_154948_zpsuvdreuuy.jpg]
Needs a t cut on either the door or source a better match on the wing

RE: project additions and tidy up - WiNgNuTz - 23-01-2015

Doesn't look that bad tbh mate, at least when your wheel came off it didnt do the same kind of damage I have on my estate! Not that i'm in a mad rush to fix that, it doesn't affect the performance of the car, and there are more important things to fix first! Big Grin

Lol, now that's the sort of thing I expect when Piggy refers to a car as 'girly'. lol


RE: project additions and tidy up - 7057sam - 23-01-2015

Vitara just so slightly PINK lol

1 of 131 left though this one won't last long once it's had its day out 4x4ing 

Gonna take a side on tomorrow and decide wether it's the wing throwing the colour out or its had a new door at some stage of its life, any tell tale signs I might spot to decipher if it's had a new door??

Thanks I'll have a read up, still have running issues spent all day Saturday fiddling with the barbie truck but still playing up, we have it running now but still hunting and stalling itself and no amount of right foot pumping stops it dying!!


RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 16-02-2015

Not been on in a while, quick update car is booked in for some paintwork, wing, side skirt repairs, front bumper, 1 wheel refurbing,
Also gone and bought a 2nd vitara at a snip of 350 with over 3k of calmini extras so that has taken priority over the 3oh, but she'll be sweet for a few shows this summer catch you all soon when I've got more to talk about rather than a mucky ol'vit


RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 13-10-2015

quick update it still looks like this

RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 18-05-2016

So I ignored all my own advise and ideas and used this as a daily chucked loads of miles on her and generally lost interest due to moving starting up off roading and eventually buying a French bulldog, a slight school boy error has given me the go to get her ship shape again, progress will be slow but time to pull my finger out first up major service then the rear suspension to be sorted I have a few niggly bits to sort out too wiper motor playing up and a bent exhaust, also been quoted 400 to have some areas sprayed it's almost hit 160k time to show her some love again

RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 26-05-2016

Managed to bend my towing eye and destroy my lower grill, having a bad month as I've lost the only key for this car too [Image: 20160526_202724_zpsqsv3lixc.jpg]


RE: project additions and tidy up - insomaniac45 - 27-05-2016

Don't worry, my towing eye is bent too, going to cut it off, and fit a strap instead. That way it can never happen again Smile
