My low and slow chequred beast
#1
After the death of my much loved Citroen AX

[Image: P1000862.jpg]

I was looking through my local classifieds and came across this stunner

Rubish pic but its all ive got Smile

I started transfering the bit i could from the ax to the pug, sound system, steering wheel, exhaust ect

i soon found out the exhaust was too short which i thought it might be

[Image: P1000903.jpg]

i couldnt do anything about it for now as the old box literaly disintergrated as i took it off...

next i managed to get myself a set of 15" Project kahn RSR's for a bargain

(bit of curb damage but i cant complain for what i payed for them Wink)

Next was the start of the chequring craze

Both exterior and interior mirros and center console

After having a problem with the indicators i had to go down to my local scrappy to get a new stalk, whilst i was there i came across an unvented laguna splitter, i had the bumper off to fit itso whilst i was there i took my headlights out and black masked them and painted the fans white and the front and rear badges black

By this point in my opinion thecar was realy coming together

I got in contact with ginge191 andhetold me he had an exhaust up for sale so after taking it off his car i fitted the beast to mine along with a homemade De-silencerd center section

After getting a little bonus from work i decided to trat myself to a set of 60mm lowering springs

That weekend i got to work on lowering it as soon as i got the front done i was rudely interupted by the misses by the time i had finished sorting her out (not in that way) i was running out of light and it had started to rain so for the week i was riding around like a dragster

the weekend after i got to work doing the back after alot of blood, sweat, tears, WD40 and pain later the back was finaly done

got some stickers for the rear window

After spending hours cutting up some vinyl i had some 150mm white vinyl squares so these were painstakingly fitted to the roof to create (as many of my friends call it) 'the chess board'
