"Jadey" 1.0 S

S for stock. For now.

Bought in April for £500. Well, present from mum for not visiting for 8 months (she misses me, bless) as my old Rover 420 was slowly killing itself.

About 91k on the clock, standard as they come really. Had her about a month, snapped the rear axle and demolished the front brakes.

Took me a week to realise I had a sunroof, so I thought I'd make it stand out.



Then snap.... that camber though....

as expected the bushes were seized and rubbish, so managed to get these on ebay.

old v new, cleaned it up and sprayed it.



Current plans:
Lower!
Spray wheels and get some slightly lower profiled tyres
Add some noise to it (I can't drive a quiet car, I really can't)
Add some rear speakers to go with my lovely PINK stereo
Tint the rear windows
Find one of those dash thingies with cup holders in
Find some subtle skirts and splitter


However, in the month I've done about 1.5K and I'm chuffed.
 
Ya need ta get an back box like mine ;) it make everyone turn and look to see what's coming :p

Well, new grille, mirrors and light plinth to match. Couldn't be bothered getting any paint mixed so used what I found at home.

Had a day in the shed waxoyling and sorting some holes. Sprayed up the wheels while I was there.

will need new sills but fresh mot for now
