Looking amazing.

When I met up with you this was a standard GSi with no interior and a buggared gearbox You also said "I'm trying to keep it standard looking".

Great work mate, get it featured on here in a couple of months.

It still has no rooflining and pillar trims! Gearbox is fine mate, it was the idle which was playing silly buggars

got a lexmaul through the post on thursday so fitted that, Also refitted the induction kit. The inlet has improved midrange torque quite abit so im happy with it



Abdus kindly dropped off a piper centre section on his way to hemel hempstead so ill get on with fitting that sometime this year..



All i need to do now is finish undersealing and replace the handbrake cables which im not looking forward to doing then that's it. Might just get a garage to fit the cables

direct replacement. ITs like taking the standard inlet off then putting it back on again. The two bolts at the front are fiddly to put on, apart from that it's easy.
