Hi all, so i bought a 95 BA Astina in march, did a DIY repair on my horn today and ended up stumbling on this site trying to come up with ideas to fix it. So i decided to sign up :-)

So I'm completely useless mechanically and i'd like to learn more. My 323 is completely stock & mechanically it's awesome, but the body needs a little work & paint, interior is still good though. I have a few mods that i'd like to do over time (i'll list them below), but heres some photos of what its like right now. Excuse the dust, the car has been sitting in once place since march as i've had other financial commitments that i've had to put first... but thats changing now

The passenger side front door... paint peeling away

Above the drivers side rear door... big paint scratch

The roof of the car, need to fix that sometime soon..

So what i have in mind for the car...

1) Install a new stereo

2) A respray of the roof, bonnet and front doors, fix the blemishes in the body, paint the door handles body colour and a good cut & polish on the rest.

3) New wheels and rubber, don't know what kind of wheels i want yet though.

4) HID Headlights, possibly replacement tail lights.

5) New exaust, was thinking to put on a bigger downpipe and a cannon as i plan to turbo charge later on.

6) re-trim the interior, the seats in leather, possibly wrap the dash & doors in carbon fibre or find black replacement door pulls & just wrap the dash in carbon fibre, i dont much like the teal green.

What do you guys think?
