well i managed to drop on my feet the other day, after looking around for a new car for my girlfriend i came across this
1 owner from new
57k milage
full vauxhall service history
mint (and i mean flawlessly mint) condition
no tax or mot, been stood for a year due to a bereavement in the family.
had a reciept for new radiator, fan switch and water pump along with full service and cambelt kit dated 2 days before it was parked up!
so bought it back and stuck it in for mot the next day
PASSED with no advisorys, tested described it to be as clean as a brand new car and very well looked after
then i got too work, first thing stick some softstars on i had up for sale (not any more lol) then some 60mm springs and spax shocks i removed from my corsa turbo when i fitted coilovers, removed the red rubbing strips from down the doors and rear quarters, took the glass off the headlights and sprayed the inner plastic black the re-sealed, had some post 97 bumpers painted and then fitted them along with an aftermarket grill, won a decat pipe friday night on ebay, collected and fitted saturday along with a punto rear wiper and mk4 astra side repeators from the local scrappy, then a full polish and wax with a machine buffer (paint work really is mint and like new!) and won a cobra vxr style full stainless system on ebay tonight, to be fitted this week,
all this in a weeks work, its getting taxed tomorrow and is out on the road, pics to follow.
plans are..
smoked rear clusters
wind deflectors
four branch manifold
light smoke the windows
maybe an irmy splitter
what do we all think?
