once i had had the car for a while i thought it would be a good base to work off as a project the car had only covered 57k, but i wouldnt be starting anything big until the new year so i bought wheels, brake disks and a bit of sound system to intall once complete
sound system am hoping to get a full kenwood sysem eventually.
1 or 2 other thing, i do have more stuff but it would be silly posting it all.

I have now stripped almost everything out of the car and am in the process of creating a rear disc conversion, should have the parts that i need on the 2/01/10. i can get the plates that i need done at work so its not goin to be expensive, about 30-40 i would of thought all in if i find a donor with decent discs and pads but beggers cant be choosers if i needs discs and pads there only bout 35 deliverd to the door so not too bad. the car i need them off will be a mk3 astra gsi or a cav sri.

hi all i done a bit ow work on the car today, woke up feeling like xxxx so i pulled a sicky not like me but i thought why not. i started feeling better around 12 ish so i thought id get a bit done. i first changes the talegate.
 
i have done a little bit of welding like for the window wiper to blank it off also was looking at welding a bit over the lights. i have seen it done before and i do like it but im not 100% sure now i see it on my car.
 
 
i also have picked up a saxo vtr spoiler to bond ontop of the original, i did 1 on my last car but never got the chance to fit it because i got rammed up the backside n got taken to hospital, needless to say the car was a riteoff
