[ash23]

well two weeks ago i got this from the for sale section needs a little work mainly just tidying it up.

but we all know how this goes theres no chance of keeping anything stock i just cant resist haha

i need to keep it reliable tho as im going to be doing rust to rome in it next year so no huge turbos (well not with out forged stuff anyway)

plans atm are tidy it up ive all ready fitted half leathers and swaped the dash out of the car im breaking. repaird both front door looms so i now have working front windows sprakers and c/l

basicaly i need to sort the brakes out i forgot how shocking dt brakes are even my 1.6 hdi has 283mm as standard :O p bushes are shot and the front end is stone chipped to feck so ill sort that out in due corse and no doubt there will be a few mods along the way

few piks as we all love piks nothing exciteing tho

Good to see this estate has now been bought at last!!

Reason the 207 has big brakes is it weighs as much as the moon

[ash23]

I've had it afew weeks but wasn't really gonna do a project thread as well not alot will happen but I was board haha. its a good solid car for the money perfect for what I was looking for.

I don't think there quite as heavy as the moon but not far off tho

[Chris_90]

Great car tbh! Wish I went and got it pulls and handles very well defo made my 106 feel broken on way home other day after trip to scrappy

P.s if you go for forged rods let me no

[ash23]

good to see someone giving the ph1 'state another go

[Piggy]

Cant wait to see this...I love ph1 in silver and all colour coded...this will be a lot of win

[7057sam]

going to looks epic when the front ends on,any plans for more lows?

[devils_fuel]

what you doing with the ph 2 bumper... i guess its EYC paint code?

[ash23]

good to see someone giving the ph1 'state another go

allways wonderd what it would look like then saw zakks and loved it lol so since I now own a state it would be rude not to ph1 it

Cant wait to see this...I love ph1 in silver and all colour coded...this will be a lot of win

hopefully it will look as good as I think it will just unsure on it being all coded atm being ph1s have the black strips but will soon see can always spray them back to black

going to looks epic when the front ends on,any plans for more lows?

it does need some lows but very low on the list atm unless some parts come up cheap.

what you doing with the ph 2 bumper... i guess its EYC paint code?

all for sale mate theres a thread in for sale section And yeah its EYC .

[ozonehostile]

You'll probably get around to finishing a proper ph1 estate before I do, I hope it looks better than mine did with the proper ph1 strips, I think they're a key factor.

Who knows, we could still be team ph1 estate ;-)

[Chris_90]

Really think this needs a gt20 or even 22 a long with those other goodies

[Matt]

Wanna swap the wheels for 3 swallows and a steel they're growing on me!

haha there growing on me now there clean would like some lazers for it tho

[Matt]

Ohhhhhh reeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyyy? May have some soon

[devils_fuel]

I like the wheels but they're not strong enough for an estate, a hatch and sedan yeah

[ash23]

Ohhhhhh reeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyyy? May have some soon

maybe intrested in a swap ? : D

I like the wheels but they're not strong enough for an estate, a hatch and sedan yeah

yeah I know what you mean mate think some lazers would look better but maybe 15 inch is to small

[devils_fuel]

It's the design ash, the spokes aren't thick enough for the amount of metal you see side-on in an estate.

If your were closer to Bristol I would swap my lasers for them but
