My Dad just said he used to have one, apparently they took off if you went above 75mph

careful budget control well not sure if i deserve that title as its gonna have cost me about 4k all in when she is done but thats not so bad for a track prepped rwd car with about 200bhp per tonne and will be a pretty much brand new car as all the working parts have been replaced with new/nearly new items
Yeh im quite happy that i found a black one they look the best if you ask me.

lol dont ask haven worked on it in months because im stuck at uni doing my final year and its at home so that i dont waste my time working on it.
i did get a little bit more work done on it becofre i got here in sept but not much, will be done this summer tho, i NEED to drive it!!!
[quote=xeandy;1379806]So ive finally made a fair amount of progess on the car first in a long time and actually managed to take some pics this time so here they are.
First shows the cars pose at the moment while the axle is off at the rebuilders getting rebuilt.
Seat mounts all welded in and painted ready for my side mount corbeau's
Bias box in for the last time with all brake lines connected and reservoir pots mounted in the engine bay
Rear crossbar added into the cage to mount my sabelt 6 point harnesses to.
Finally a pic of the wheels i picked up in germany for 80 euros last year 6x13 and fit over my astra gte calipers.... just!!
So thats where she stands at the moment as soon as i get the axle back i can put it on get the engine back in which is ready and waiting to go in on the engine stand. and then it will be a matter of doing all the electrics and building up the dash and then thats pretty much it ready for the road but sadly due to my final year of uni happening in 2 weeks it probs wont actually be on the road until next year.
