It's been a while since I've been on here.
Anyway bought a big standard 1.4 merit couple of years ago and got to work on it making it a gsi replica.
I started by removed the side strips on the car, I fit rear window surrounds and a gsi spoiler. I decided to wrap the lip of the boot also black which was a hassle as I'd never done anything like that before but managed to do a decent job of it. I found an original gsi grill badge and picked up a full set of gsi interior including a gsi boot carpet, I also got electric windows and central locking which I have still to fit.
I picked up some speed lines for dirt cheap £100 and not in bad condition which annoyed a few people on facebook haha.
I also managed to pick up a gsi dashboard for free again people annoyed on facebook but their loss I have still yet to fit this, I tracked down some front door window surrounds which again still yet to fit.
Lowered it on fk coilovers and fitted a sportex straight through system.
Picked up a gsi bumper for £90 had that sprayed with the back one and fitted them and also found a towing eye cover which is being sprayed.
The only thing I need to find now is a gsi engine, if not then I'll have to go redtop, but for now I've got a 1.4 mpi engine in the garage which I'm going to rebuild the head and fit that for now, least it will have a bit more poke. I have everything to fit it I.e head, inlet, loom, ecu etc just need an mpi fuel pump for it to run properly.
Things I still need to do are the engine as above
Fit window surrounds
Fit dash
Cut holes for electric window looms and fit them
Vinyl wrap b pillar
Either find gsi carpet or dye the one in car
Find gsi door tops
I'm sure theres more things just cant think at the minute
The car is in the bodyshop at the minute getting some welding and spraying done.
Anyway here are some pictures so far I'll try to keep this updated as much as a i can as i go
