Nope, learnt from my mistakes, no gay large turbos, no management i dont have a clue about and lastly no weld in cages .

The first thing is get the car up and running, then fit the F28 gearbox i have coming off Dave Dixon. Thats about it for now plans wise. Not fitting a LSD in the box initially as if the engine needs say a rebuild thats £500 i can out towards it.

Did you actually sell the caged Arden shell or do you still have it?

Looks good though, will be another decent project to read no doubt.

Yep the other shell has gone rallying in Wales.

This one will have nothing in common with the other bastardized corsa's and nova i built in the past. This one is going to be driven, mark my words!

Will pass on the brace i think Nic, thanks anyway.

Matt, first things first. Got to make it run then with time the mods might roll, not as bigger mods as before though. One bit at a time though, not all in one go as i tried to do and failed to do in the past!

Sutton should be collecting it at 6pm hopefully.

Not going to commit to any track days or anything like that. Been there made those mistakes and never got anywhere near a track

Once it runs and it has proven to me to be reliable it might see a track, but if it does not at any point in the future then dont be shocked!

Gav, Nigel put the add up on the 21st, i contacted him straight away, went to see it on the morning of the 22nd, left a deposit and that was that. No messing around and a straight forward sale up to now. Just need Sutton to get it to me in one piece now!
