    **** UPDATE **** (at last )

    Years have pasted and some progress has been made

    The spec of the car has changed somewhat since the original plan of transfering most of the running gear from the Astra Gsi he was running. The original plan of a cheap reshell using the C20XE engine and Dog box and Proflex suspension/AP brakes from the Astra has now turned into a money pit - using new proflex, sequential box, new brakes and a Destroked C20XE into an all steel 1600 screamer

    The shell is now a rolling shell with a Hockly Motorsport independant rear beam - with the shell modified to allow even more suspension travel front and rear - running on proflex dampers all round
    Brakes are Works OPC AP Calipers and 355mm front discs and Alcon rear calipers/disc
    A new 6 speed sequential Sadev gearbox and gearlever have been purchased
    A dummy engine has been fitted to the box and all mounts and driveshafts fabricated by HHMS
    Martin Bowyer (Bowyer Developments) is in the progress of building the destroked C20XE into a 1600cc (steel crank/rods, new pistons, new throttle bodies etc) which expects 220+ bhp on his dyno

    So most of the fabrication etc has been done

    Just completing the final mods to the shell (RHD conversion) and then it can be painted and assembled :nod:

    These are some of the pics I took the other night when we were tinkering











    Mods might want to move this thread to the Project section and I will try to keep it updated
