hi ive just joined the forum and have had a browse around this section and thoght i'd post mine up 
it's currently being sprayed red, so i have no final pics of it, but i have before pics and pics of it in the garage. I have big plans for it and hopefully this site will help me 
sorry if the pics come out wrong, i have read through the newbie section... 
right, here she is when i first picked her up (£200) (pics are a bit naff, took them from my fone) 
a bit of rust here but it's all gone now
the car looks clean here but the bonnet was pretty much wrecked, had "zoe 4 lyf" engraved on the bonnet and there was a few dent which could not be fixed ( none can be seen in this pic though
)
the engine...
now for some reason after i bought the car i bought some lexus rear lights, but to be honest i hate them now, and i'm going to sell them and either go back to stock or those ones that look stock but without the orange
i also sprayed the bonnet matt black myself but ive had a new bonnet and is being sprayed glossy black while the rest of the car is being sprayed red
i then decided to buy some new headlights, i think they are the black housing style or whatever but without the amber corners (you guys may not like them but i think they're quite nice )
i also bought a new direct fit exhaust back box (4.5" - i like them big
) off ebay just to replace the pea shooter stock one
and a Jamex 40mm lowering spring kit
stripped ready for primer coat
new panels welded on after cutting out the rust...
and here she is now, sorry for no primer pics etc, they never told me when they were going to primer even though i told them to ring me as i wanted pics
, ahhh well here she is red
She'll soon be put back together in the next week or so and buffed (they're apparently busy) so i'll update the thread with the final pics again sorry for bad quality pics 
Future plans:
B16 conversion
JDM alloys or just maybe black alloys by another make,
Mugen lip
New shocks
New brakes etc
+ Other extras
hope i havent wasted your time, cheers
