    Default The Counts Brown Saloon Its So Retro!

    Finally found the time to get some pics on here of my new saloon project in the dashing shade of Moca brown (correct me if im wrong) so here it is what do you think??

    This is how it started:











    sorry for the poor quality...

    I have had the car since late last year so i have made some progress with it which i will detail below.

    The plan is to try and get it all sorted for the show season so fingers crossed!

    Here is the rough spec im building to:

    Exterior

    The colour is staying you will be please to know although a respray is on the cards, Slammed stance and deep dish euro stylee alloys the rest other than the exhaust exit position should be fairly standard as i'm going for a retro euro blend....

    Other bits

    -C20xe on twin 45's (inlet manifold CNC matched to ports)
    -CNC port and polish to race spec
    -Kent cams and adj pullys
    -ARP fixings
    -Lightened billet flywheel
    -Quaife ATB LSD
    -GSI rad
    -polly bushes
    -rear turrets
    -AVO coilovers
    -Vectra gsi front brake setup
    -Astra GTE rear disc brake set up
    -Fully strengthened chassis plating stitching etc
    -Stainless exhaust and 4 branch...not sure were it will exit yet though

    and what ever else i can afford

    The car has done low miles and looks very clean other than the rear arches.
