OEM HDI estate

[Ricky]

Seeing as this is turning into more of a project than I thought it would be, it would be rude not to make a little thread on here.

Bought a china estate, 114k miles, full service history, last owner had it for 10+ years, in the last year between MOT's it had done less than 4k miles. Cost me £780 which is good.

So far, apart from oil+filters change and crank pulley change, the only modification are the full leather interior. I have just got some Arianes to go on once I can afford some spacers, and a couple of tyres. Also got a decent headunit and amp, not fitted yet as I need speakers and wiring.

Some pictures to sum it all up:







Audio:
Crossfire 4 channel amp, along with VERY rare Alpine 7998r, very good high end unit, with a fold away face.


Test fitting to make sure the larger face actually fits in the dash..


And my wheels I picked up yesterday


That's pretty much it for now. Future plans are, Focal components up front with a small sensitive subwoofer for the boot. Xsara spec Bilstein B4's so it sits a little lower. Pressed plates, black headlining, 302mm brakes. Also going to save up and splash out on a rebuilt beam, going through used beams is a waste now seeing as most are shot.

Also keep thinking of stage 2.. Will definatly go stage 1, but not sure if I want to go any further than that.
