Hi.
Im new to the site so thought i would start a thread here with the progress of my car.
The updates will be slow at the moment as money is tight being a redundent scaffolder.
I paid £550 for the car as it needed an EGR and ICV.
Its an S plate x16xe.
It now has 105k on the shell.
Re-con engine fitted at 95k.
Lowered 60mm all round.
Tigra 15'' wheels painted ford frost white ( Dont like them, they were on the car when i bought it)
De-badged front grill.
Will have more pictures tomorrow as i am fitting an 'unknown' de-cat, stainless powerflow centre section and a sebring backbox
Here is a picture of the car as it stands, its the only one i have at the moment, comments welcome good or bad!

To be honest mate just the usual depos, gloss black arches and bumper tops.
Vectra wheels again, as sold my other set.
But that was the plan with my rover and i spent near 10grand on that
You probs seen the car when it was running and looking shite then

The rear bumper i started to sand down, then found an arden blue one for sale, but now thats cracked so back to square one.
Is yours arden blue mate?
The rover ended up with a t16 turbo lump out of a 420 gsi, the conversion cost 2.5k.
A trip to 3 differant body shops was expensive!! ETC.....
