:wave:
right, well this is my first project, wont be as good as some on here though,
any opions are most welcome if it will help geth the car looking better

well bought this 1.4 16v from Adam-D for a reasonable price
had no mot or tax
Image

this is when i got it home
Image

then bought these from chrex
Image

and fitted
Image

was sitting a bit high for my liking, so stupidly i bought these of ebay because they were cheap
Image

that caused it to sit like this, which i dint like
Image
Image

so adam came round and put the gmax springs that where originally on there onto the jamex shocks
Image
much better
Image
not rubbing anymore

it passed the MOT advised on two track rod ends, that was soon sorted

then becuse i was bored i bought these bonnet lifters, not bad
Image
Image

boredem soon struck again so i stripped out the back
Image
that soon stopped the family, and the lads at college asking for a lift :lol:
allthough the missus wasnt to happy about not having back seats

got a bargain from halfords
Image
cd, usb and aux thingy, for 40notes, cant complain

also bought a sabelt 4point harness off Adam-D
Image
also got this off him
Image

fitted
Image
Image


ive done abit of ebay shopping the last couple of days
and managed to get hold of these
Image

and this
Image

also bought this a few days ago
Image

will post pics when i can get them fitted

i also bought some mudflaps of ebay aswell, but i must have been drunk, cos when they arrived they looked far to chavvy for my liking


thats all for now
dont really have any future plans, just going to try an keep it clean
hope one day to maybe drop an XE in it, depends on funds though

any opinions most welcome :D

:)

Just a question mate, does the back of your car sit higher with no back seats, coz ive got 60mm springs on m9, no back seats and car sits high..? Also, you know anywhere i can get hold of a 2"-2 1/2" back box??

Ahh.. still kinda stupid :lol: Ohwell, it's not mine so I cant say anythin :lol:

You fitted the opel grille yet? (I personally think they're better as they dont have that silver strip at the top like the vauxhall ones..)

i think it does sit slightly higher, but ive never really looked to notice.
the backbox ive got on there is a sportex and came with the car, sounds great :)
i think you might be able to get one off here http://www.corsacentre.com/index.asp
