DavidN's Incredibly stock Mk2 Ibiza 1.4SXE!

Hi!

My first ever car!

my mk2 bezza has served me well so far and i hope to keep it for the up and coming years. here is a few pics of it and i wiil keep updating on the work i carry out.

so far:
1. LED light conversion
2. Sound system upgrade
3. Machine polish

and many more to go!

please comment and feel free to suggest what ever!

First . . . The damage.

here is all the bad points, im not the kinda guy to bull people with how amazing my car is, when its not! but i still love it.

NOTE: all the bad stuff was done before i got it!

Cracked paint on Front bumper - Cat D Repaired



Bonnet has been resprayed at the incorrect pressure and the lacquer has decided it wants to blow its self to bits - i have machine polished this the best i could get it up to



"ofcourse it wont hit the . . . . . oh fek"


actually i did this one, incorrect way of removing SXE badges . . . . .


Worms living in this paint . .


Beats me. . . .


"yes dear a scouring pad will clean the car up nicely, dont forget to use a bit of sharp sand!"

Sorry, you have been corrected!

Damaged continued . . . .

"i wonder what will happen if i reverse my car into a solid object . . . oh!"



DINT!


RUST DINT!


Ratchet strapping a boat onto your roof will look like this (after machine polishing i might add!) have John to thank for help with that (IMR-13 Detailing)



so the overall damage aint to bad on the thing, a few hours of work repaired most of the damage. so now its just improving it! whoop whoop

dont have a bleeding clue! its completely random scratches, i think it must be, cos there deep and all over that back panel! looks mad

Right well, today i started cleaning it

Here she is ready to be cleaned, only one little cloud in the sky at this moment . .


Get working on the hubcaps oh yea . . . hubcaps! any way they are nice a clean, along with the arches and what happens . . .

Damn you rain

at least the wheels are clean . .


well image shack is taking three weeks to upload the photos from today, so the rest will come later!

Nice, i hated the colour first off, now i come to love it!

right, at least rain ment i could get some beading shots (no wax on yet, just compounded and polished, made rain bead)

excuse that bird poo



Ah Ha! rain didnt fool me, engine bay cleaning while it stops!

All before i started the cleaning lol


after a wash you can see the damage to the bonnet, not 100% sure how this happened, but its horrid




Plastic is grey so little dab of trim glitz brings it back to a kinda decent level

Contined



engine bay looking tad better, bit of trim glaze and your well on your way!

"ah there you are paint work, didnt see you under that dirt!"

Still some staining off some thing, but its better!

possibly my fave pic of the clean . . .


"no directline i have no idea how those speakers got there . . . . . "

there temp setup before i get my amp in and a stealth shelf he he (again, thank you john)

"like i said directline i dont even know what a subwoofer is, and that huge box in my boot with one in certainly wasnt there last time i checked"

AH all Clean






the pictures of my run owt for a photo in hartlepool are still being uploaded atm, so should have them all on and sorted tomorrow night!

i hope you all like what you see.

and how rare is my car! hubcaps

ok well here is some more pics

1st cleaned up on my drive

great pics so what have you got planned for it then ?

well for starters its getting ICE wired up and working nicely. (this weeked )

then its getting the holograms out of the paint, self inflicted im afraid. carried away with a rotary doh!

as its my first year insurance i wont be doing owt major ( coilovers, alloys, performance mods) just simple stuff like replacing bulbs to brighter more powerfull ones. i want some nice 8ks in front and replace all internal lights with leds. just getting all the little things that matter out of the way for bigger stuff (hopefully) next year.

oh and guna try my hand at vinyl wrapping - with a bit of help

carbon effect on bonnet and wings, to cover up the bad bonnet.

debating how to rectify those cracking bumpers? hmmm

but all suggestions are welcome, want to make this car my own - with a bit of euro style

wonder what the most powerful set up in an ibiza is . . . . . . ? anyone?

Ok well here is a few more pics, this time on a drive out in hartlepool.

do note i aint a pro when it comes to 'artistic' photography! and was only takn with a compact camera.

but let me know what u think any way - (chances are high of having another set of pics featuring a b e a uuutiful EVO at the weeked, watch this space!)












I was guna edit some with different effects but am just guna do that when i get time.
