Some of you may have seen this on migweb, but for the rest of you, here's my little project.
Bought it in 2003, and modded it mildly, with just wheels and suspension, but came into some bad luck when an uninsured driver drove into the side of it, and I couldn't claim anything from anyone - in fact I'm still waiting for the MIB to contribute to the repair work. I vowed that I wouldn't change it due to it being a Champion Edition, but then decided 'f*** it', I'm not selling it so what the heck!
I've been heavily influenced by modified Dutch Kadett GSi’s (http://www.nukey.nl/gallery/) , and with a little help from one individual (fluent in English), I managed to track down a number of parts in which to mimic their style.
Here's how she was in all her glory before the accident
...and the nice modification added by the uninsured driver!
After which I set about drawing up plans and finding the right body shop willing to do the work. Apart from the damaged panels, I decided a full restoration was a good move and added new wings all round to the already descending list of things to do, such as:
- Irmscher style front splitter
- JMS rear skirt
- M3 sideskirts
- Bad-Boy bonnet
- De-locked doors
- Colour coded, handles, bump strips and skirts
- Irmscher tinted rear light clusters
- Bee-sting roof aerial
- Remove side repeaters
- Remove rear fog lights
- Remove number plate light
- Remove headlight washers
Here are the photos I have of the work in progress to date.
