Cheers dudes. Never done anything like this before so should be a good laugh.

Oh, and just because...

This should look really good once it's painted!

Blasted the slags at work then painted them in my expert precision spraybooth AKA the shed. For being 40 odd years old they came out all right! Then bought the correct nuts and some new tyres for them and stuck them on today. And for the record... yes I will be battering it with the lowering stick soon enough










Could not have hoped for better fitting wheels. Front calliper brackets had to be persuaded with a grinder for clearance but I tarted them up with some black paint I found in my tool box so they dont look so tatty. MK2 golf coilovers are next on my shopping list (only putting them off as the rears need to be ground out then the coilovers welded in) aswell as a splitter from a MK1 golf as a trap

Started getting into modifying cars and jap motors the correct way by buying a Eunos. Unfortunately the mx5 bug caught on in Aberdeen and they became more common. The MOT was coming up and I wanted a change so decided to take on a boso project. I've always loved Bosozoku and Zokusha style cars but finding a base car in Scotland is an absolute nightmare.

Quick mx5 history...

I polished this turd:


Turned it into this:




Then re-kitted it out for some track work :





Long story short I ended up with this 1988 Nissan Bluebird LS which has the CA16. Carbed, my favourite seeing as I work on bikes . It is pretty much spotless with electric everything. The underside looks newer than cars less than half its age! It will be getting utterly abused by the boso stick!





It has a mucho silly boso exhaust:



And i've bought these 70s slotmags which arent as wide as the current donk pimp spec wheels but are definitely winning on the offside front







So for now i've done a bit of maintenance, change some oils, replaced some belts and plugs and added my window sticker and import plate. I'll be blasting the wheels at work and polishing them this week hopefully in time for tyres on saturday and we'll see how far that goes. Spring choppage will also be in the pipeline... then converting to golf mk2 coilovers once I decide its worth the money.

Let me know what you think. Im mainly glad its a bit different and unusual so should hopefully turn heads when its a bit silly and low
