HMT's '93 BG - Resurrection
 
Hi again,

just wanted to show you the story of my winter car.
Bought it by accident in early 2007 - late night fooling around on ebay - for 21 EUR.
As i found out later, it had at least 3 accidents in its life. That's what it looked like:

Put it into my tiny garage at the time and started collecting parts

WOW what a nice restoration effort. Looks very nice.

omg that was an awesome restore from start to finish.
good work mate.:):):)

derb 15-01-2010 05:34 PM

bloody brilliant mate, looks awesome with the snow sprayed up the back.

BULLET 20-01-2010 04:00 AM

That looks good from start till now
Anything else planned for it
Wish mine was that clean!

HMT 20-01-2010 06:45 AM

Not really, no. Was thinking about swapping the engine but i actually like it as it is now. No need to change anything. All that's left to do is proper maintenance.

RibZe 20-01-2010 03:04 PM

How long and how much much did all of this take?

Awesome job.

Heated seats!!!

HMT 20-01-2010 05:01 PM

Uh, well, most of it happened between April and August 2007 - when learning for graduation, i took half the days off to relax while working o the car :)
I spent about 1000€ for parts n stuff, so it's really a cheap thrill...
The detail work happened later on...

When I but filter then I had no bumper on car and wached that cold air can move thru filter. And if you direct air with this hose, then build wall between the engine and filter. If you turn filter down then donīt needed to build wall. Thatīs why I turned filter down. If you donīt understand tat I mean, I can but some pictures how I place the filter. Only let me know.

mikey_something 22-03-2010 06:59 AM

thats some intense footwell lighting there!
does that get distracting?

i thought my blue ones would but that looks really intense

Clean_Cookie 22-03-2010 08:48 AM

quick question, how did you get the aircon/fan controls completely evenly blue! i want to change mine from the green but dont want bright spots, yours is brilliant! well done! also love the dials :)

HMT 22-03-2010 03:48 PM

Cheers :) The heater control was easy since it's just a EL glow dial placed over the unit.
As for the light intensity, that's only a matter of photography - in real life not distracting at all!

Clean_Cookie 22-03-2010 04:22 PM

where the heck did you get that! looks sweet! very envious of it all lol
