    do you REALLY want to wreck this perfect shell by plonking in a big block?

    Stick with the 16XE or other small block imo

    To be honest I was against going big block from the start on handling grounds, but since we've watched Dar and Bottlethroddy's recent footage from Coombe we're not so sure...

    My last Saloon ran a 20SEH with the PMC XE front springs and was wicked fast road fun, but never went on track.

    The black trims around the rear quarter lights? They didn't come off in one piece I'm afraid. They won't fit a 3 door anyway, as I discovered when i tried to fit my GSi windows in my last saloon in 2003. The 3 door glass is longer!

    , just found the photo too! Lmao at my mates faces



    I know what you mean about the 2 door shell in the pic with no wheels or suspension, you can really see how well proportioned it is. Makes the 3 door shell look stunted

    Gotta be the mintest chassis leg I've seen fo a long while, apart from mine maybe
    Looks like its just rolled out of the showroom.
    They say the early shells were made of better metal, looks true here!

    What about a Z18XE from an Astra/Corsa C? More power but still small block weight
