    Hi,

    It started off as an accident damaged 1.4 carb Completly bog standard thing when I got it.
    Bought off Copart at kingslynn needing only offside front wing,headlight and vic test.
    Went straight through the mot as well ha ha.

    Bought a totally shagged van from London and converted it to the van.

    I remember puttin electric windows, central locking, alarm, and loads of sr bits on it and it had 15" tigra alloys iirc.

    Think I also put gsi brakes(grooved?), gsi brake servo, gsi anti roll bars.

    I'm sure it had a digi dash as well.

    Stuck some bag if ****e cam in it weber carb n exhaust it reved brill till it blue up ha.

    Prob got some pics of it at home ill send em 2 spud for ya

    Good luck with it mate was a solid old girl

    Rich .

    Ha ha yer some enem camshaft Gav winter use to use in autograss!!
    You could rev it that hard the valves bounced and the digi dash flashed and went off.
    Iirc the cam lobes wore off and the followers jumped out and it **** itself .
    The replacement was out of an old Belmont van ha

    In all fairness that was better then the sport/replica/2.0 16v waste of money and time nova I built!! It was seriously fun compared to the that. I then bought a Subaru STI and wondered why I had wasted my life building it .

    Rich
