its a 1988 mk 1 gem, natrually me mate gemma has name her for me, shes named her gema.
well shes a 1litre with a 1.4 sr in it an also got a 1.6 16v init aswell in the boot witch should be going in when i can get some cash together. an before anyone moans it will be gettin changed from a 1L to a 1.6 16v on the log book.

for the age of it the shell is in a pretty decent condition just need the odd bit touchin up.

plan is black bumpers an skirts, considerin getting bonnet the same colour as the car an for wheels im after some standard vauxhall alloys just dont know what ones.

the engine was fooked in the saxo dog, straight swap with some oz superturismo wrc alloys involved
