Almondo's GTi update 27/8/11

Just took some pics on my drive, needs a wash and polish tho,

looking good did you buy that off of ebay

steve

it was on ebay, but i didnt buy it on there, i went and seen him as it was local and haggled on a price lol

love the mo`s
are they 14" or 15"?

gary

there 15's m8

one of your rear exhaust bushes has fallen off

steve

wot makes u think that?

theres a cut out in the bumper where i imagine some1's had a bigger exhaust on, if the gaps wot u ment?

i just stuck my head under and there all there, from wot i can see and theres no movement in the exhaust, ill stick it on the ramp in a min and check tho.

i put one of those on my car toady should sit higher although now you mention the cut out i may be wrong worth checking though

i've only just looked at these older pictures and would like to know how your rear interior is done is it just carpeted ply because its shit hot

That looks awesome!!

Don't expect the harnesses to help you in a crash...

You will either fly out the front window or the omp rear brace will hit you lol.

in all fairness i don't think driving a swift is going to do you any favors in a crash but your right 4 pissy little nuts isn't gonna hold up for shit

christ these are old photos, its just hardboard covered with spray glue and carpeted, plus supports underneath in place that needed it.
that sub ways a ton tho, might get rid of it in the summer if any1's intrested and just repaint the back

i have crashed it and it was fine iv already been told its wrong by members of other car websites im on, but i dont care really, my arguement is if i have a crash big enough to snap that bar there aint gunna be much left of the swift anyway as its like tin cans

whats get rid of that interior?

yh sub, amp, 6x9's and the sidecards. not 100% sure yet tho, music over performance, since i got a diesel escort van i think its gotta b speed lol

i may be interested in the cards the raspy little 1300 is the only music i listen to in the swift and i miss speed too my daily is a transit van haven't driven my swift in months

well if i do decide to get rid ill give u shout but it would probably be pick up only, too much hassle to post

cheers mate and the no problem i've already been down your ways twice for parts lol in total 1400miles

doubt uv been down as far as me lol but yh ill let u know

furthest i've been is salcombe lovely place

probably about 2-2.5 hours from salcombe
the deep south

now the weathers nice i want to paint my strut brace. i did want it chrome plated but cant find any1 local and wud probably cost a bomb.
so its paint time.
engine bay before with brace.

not sure on colour for the brace either gloss black, white or blue....?


opinions please.

Blue would look cool and match the hoses

thought it might be too much blue
