Pattax's BA Hatch.

[Pattax]

G'day,

We bought this car about almost 10 months ago for $4000. It was bog stock everything. I aim to start playing with it a little bit sooner, I have a few ideas lined up which i've stolen from here and club323f.com.

I haven't done a whole lot to the car yet, but I aim to update with a few things I have in mind. This is what the car looks like now, minus the sound system, minus the stock wheels and adding the MS01R's ( will have updated pictures soon ) -

With the rims, the only photo I have atm

Eyelids done.

Waiting on china to send through LEDS.

I really want to get some money in hand for some engine upgrades. I'm getting some good ideas.

[marcs_sp20]

likin the eyelids ;)

But why on earth have you got a big "fark off" tacho for? doesnt the one in the dash work?

[70NYD]

oi man i like the eyelids as well ay :)
but i thought u were gonna do LEDS for indicators AND parkers, you cant do that with eyelids as easily

[Pattax]

Its gone a long time ago, old photos and as such.

And Tony, when the LEDS come the eylids go off.

aaaaah ok i know this hehehe
i did exactly the same thing... i was SO sad taking the eyelids of cus it took me so damn long to put them on properly

[Pattax]

I tried your idea with book cover vinyl, but I unoficially used electrical tape :p

[70NYD]

hehe kewl :)
book cover vinyl? i used car vinyl :p

[mussing]

Weren't you trying to sell this? Think I remember seeing it for sale on boost.

So did a couple things today.

Got around to installing my LEDS finally, wasnt as hard as anticipated, but took ages.

Baking headlights: About 100deg at ten mintutes did the trick, then just pried open with knifes.

Lined with amber LEDS and white LEDS ( Indicators / parkers ) with some double sided tape.

Drilled holes in the lamps, and fed the wires through to the back.

Cook for 10 minutes on 100 deg again, and voila;

Also secured the podfilter, and took off the wing.
