Thought i would add a "to-do" list to my garage as i didn't have anything in there. I haven't really done much to the sup since i got it but i'm plodding along with little bits and bobs.

 

Turns out i have almost spent £2k arghhh. Thats not the worst of it though.. i also totted up all the things that i want to do to the car in the near future.... almost 6k!!

 

Unbelievable, i'm not even a modder/racer/event's type of guy.

2GB Ram

120GB Laptop HDD

Mobile Internet PCMCIA Data Card

DVD-RW

Mini Keyboard with Built in mouse tracker joystick thing

Im at about 7k since the start of May!!

 

Good thing i have a nice bank manager

 

You doing the car on loan? I don't think i could bring myself to do that. Would seem like too much of an indulgance on my part leaving the both of us (the wife and i) to pay for it.

 

Don't think she would be best pleased either lol. I'm getting around £150-£200 on OT per week at the moment. The next couple of hundered will be going on some service items. The previous owner said he serviced it before i got it, and even though the oil looks fine, the coolant looks ancient and i don't know what brands he has used.

 

Just went fully BPU so i'm swaying toward the safer side of caution. Thankfully the timing belt looks mint lol

My brakes cost me 2k alone, its so easy to spend money on these machines getting them to how we want them :)

 

I'm positive UK's will be plenty for me. I can't see me tracking it and even if i do it will only be in a spirited fashion, not going at it all guns blazing.

 

Only reason i would get brakes is they look :cool:

Bargain mate, lets hope you can get her to her former glory.

Good thing about not being married!

 

Got loads happening now, being a bored N/A i decided to indulge myself into the world of a N/A-TT conversion in a fortnight, fully BPU'd, and hopefully with a UK brake setup if Jezz has any :)

 

Recently got a Do-Luck front, TRD Spoiler, Wheels, Carbon Bonnet, back window spoiler, Facelift taillights, boost gauge etc.

 

At the end of it i promised my gf thats the last of the spending until next year when i plan another body kit and full respray, as well as interior.

 

All planned out and she is happy :)

i have nontt 95 j spec in red everything is still nice and tight and she drives well but she is grubby you know, their is silly things to do like replace off side aero pack rear bumper piece which is prooving a nightmare to find. the rear seats are leather but in the front is cloth and a bit manky, so want to get them leathered stuff like that, am going to take my time and get it right

Looks fine mate, absolute bargain!

 

apart from sourcing the bit of body kit that is missing as you can see everything is going to be ok what do you recon she would be worth in good nick, silly question i know i was thinking 2500 - 3000 depending on the weather. Any tips on where to get parts etc would also be gratefully recieved :D

You your not a modder yet most of that list is mods? Either way cars aint cheap!

 

Yeah but what i mean is i don't see myself as a modder. Its hard to explain, i'm not modding for credit or for the sake of modding. I'm doing it for me, coz i want to have the perfect car.. for me only.
