Good day to you there guys :D Im travis and im from doncaster south yorkshire and i am 17.

Just fuond this forum on google and thought id join and post my project thread up. My project thread will be a little show until 26th february but I will be doing subtle cheap modifications until then as the car cost me £430 along with a clutch £250 five days after ha then insurance deposit and tax on 31st january :shock: How much money will i be spendnig on this in the next few month :meh:.

The clutch is currently being done in the garage now and once its out I will be desidestriping, debadging along with trying to get all these baked on bugs and tar. So once badges are off i might try and detail it myself. Problems that are wrong with it are: Drivers door is all cracked on the inside & needs realigning. Boot has rust all way around the window rubber sill. Bonnet has rust spots all over were the badge is. I think i paid a little over odds for the car.

Plans are: Green Cav Slabs. Green Centre Console and Dial Surround. Colour Coded Door Handles Outside. Smooth Boot with Number Plate Recess. Lowered Slightly Not Too Over The Top. Thats it for a few months heres a few pictures to keep you going haha. :D

If its the 1.7 why does it have turbo on the engine? unless its had a conversion to the 1.7 turbo ;) in which case turn the boost up, white ring mod, intercooler and you will 110 bhp easy!

although on second inspection there is no turbo. in which case drop the turbo one in from an astra or cav XD
