Hi all,
I want to carry out some improvements on this car... It's the 100BHP AFH engine... Currently it's completely stock...
What would be the best improvements to make and in which order... budget is probably around £500 now... then about £200 a month...
It has a small rust spot on the passenger door, only small and could probably be treated... How should I best do this? Alternatively I can get a perfect door from a breaker in Flash Red for £50... worth it?
Someone reversed into the front passenger wing... only a very slight ding, only really notice it if you look for it... repair? I can get a front passenger wing in Flash Red for £30...
Last noticable damage to the car is when the missus reversed it in to a concrete lampost... it was a glancing blow so no cracks or dents or anything, but fairly nasty deep, deep scratches at the rear drivers side... Again, I can get a replacement in Flash Red for about £50...
Are these cosmetic fixes worth it... or should I repair what I have?
I think eventually I'd like to get a better exhaust system, replace the tyres and alloys, then maybe the brakes...
What would be your suggestions?
Cheers,
Melon
