    Default Brown saloon

    Very nearly finished my A reg saloon my mrs surprise bought me. It needed both sills an arches so bought me a welder an gave it a go, seam welded the engine bay to, bought a 400 pound cav from gumtree an dropped the engine into a freshly sprayed shell I done in my garage at home. Original trim cut from seats an stitched onto 80's recaros, a set of vw alloys which were on my nova saloon from over 20 years ago. Good on fuel an drives ok (bit hard though) any questions feel free to ask, cheers, Bryan

    Any pics? Saloons are a lot more popular these days, especially the 2 doors.

    Just had a look and it looks lovely, I like the wheels and Interior is really nice, only thing I'd change is the front bumper.
    What engine are you running?

    I used the gsi bumper because that's what I used 20 years ago so I just thought I would recreate it, my mate says I should have used small bumpers. It's got a 2.0 8v from a 1989 cav
