started out as a totaly standard 1.2 8v breeze when i got it for my 17th bday. Drove it howit was for a couple of mounths then purchased sum brand new wolfrace wheel thought they was cool at the time haha.Dove it lookinglike a monster truck then decided to buy some 2nd hand 30mm lowering springs of the bay. it now looked like this.With the exception of the colour coding and bucket seats these came at a later date
.

i sold the bucket seats and brought corsa sport interior

and then i brought cat back from sportex with a 3inch outward rolld tip.

Then got fed up of the chavy look so sold the bucket seats and swaped the wheels with a mate for his so sanded them down and primed them and sprayed them

it looked like this then

i then took the engine out and fitted a x14xe and brought a decat and 4 - 1 mani from sportex. had it like that for about 6mounths then thehead gasket whent. so i left it off the road for about 3 mounths whille i skimd and saved for all the parts i needed for a c20xe.I then had everyfin i needed so i went a head and put it in with an f20 box. gave it a general sevice cam belt and tenstioners and water pump. didnt take any pics wish i did.Ive had it on the road nearly a year now with out any problems just sump gasket but thats common but have recently done that. then bad look came about 3 months ago on the way to work. a petrol tanker side swiped me and deove off and didnt get the reg. I cudnt go after because of the wing was caught on my tyre.
Knacked cv and hub.

so i pulled thewing out abit so i could drive it home and purchased all the new body panels from kent ald was breaking a rio verde so me and a mate drove down and got all the stuff off an other shell for £175 so replaced these a few days after the incident.http://c20xe.co.uk/board/post.php?action=newthread&fid=67 Then it stayed like that untill a week bfore pvs and purchased sum new parts.

At pvs

purchased new tx autosport oil breather and heatshield. Also sum team heko wind deflectors.

Things to do are:-
roose motorsport hoses in red.
wheels powdercoated usure of colour maybe white??
general tidy up in engine bay.
replace crankshaft oil seal as is leaking got the seal just havent done it yet.
would like tbs if i could save up or might settle for r1 carbs and mild cams.

let me no what you think so far. sorry for poor build thread as havent took many pics. Wasnt gona do a build thread lol. thanks brad
