Well following on from my gratuitous display of pics in the Rio pics thread, i thought i'd start a bit of a build thread here.
Picked up the car last week as a new daily to take the burden off my Ford V8 which wasn't the most economical of cars in peak hour traffic (nearly 20 litres per 100km lol!!) It's the same car a few others from Australia have on here, the three door hatch which seems unavailable in the northern hemisphere for some weird reason. Has the 1.6, 17's, leather, climate control, cruise, auto wipers, DRL's, LED tail lights, keyless entry and push-button start, blah blah blah. It's a great car for the money and we got a good deal on it, including the token floor mats.
About a week or two before pickup day, we went and visited it down at the holding yard, still wearing its protective coverings and so on:
