Yeah ive put the steels on for now and going to paint my fans in white and see what it looks like, i dont really want them shiney white though as the paintwork is shiney but abit scabby in places and painted in hammerite over the rust:D

Thats cool as fook mate. Ultimate sleeper.. keep the steels IMO. Overall it looks better on the fanblades however I'd keep the steels for the pure sleeper factor. I'd even rust the steels a bit!

I seem to recall you saying somwhere that this is fitter than the miami blue red top nova you had, these musn't weigh too much?

imo mate this is quicker seems to get the power down easier - a fully fledged 1300 astra esate wheys appox 1300kg so minus everything and i mean everything bar -

1. 2 front seats
2. Half a dash
3. 1 sunvisor
4. doorcards and a rear cage and strut brace

+ an xe engine work it out lol

Look scool with the steels!! Proper sleeper chariot lol

I recon it'd probably do low 15's. Have you thought about manta gte alloys? they'll fit a treat in those arches, all the rally boys run them in wales on their astra mk2's.
