ive owned this car for 4 year from a low spec mk1 1.2 and turned it into the car you see before you,
the car is registered still as a 1.2 as ive had issues getting it swapped to a 2.0 so i can leave it to the new buyer,
this is the most fun ive had in the summer for ages drivibg round in this and seeing the faces of people who havent seen a nova in years mind a cabriolet,real head turner with enough poke for them traffic light grand prixs,
car is fitted with the c20xe from a astra gte which was fitted with a new gm timing belt kit and water pump,the engine is a good solid one with no smoke or rattles and pulls really hard,the transmission is 300bhp shafts withbig block hubs,f20 gearbox with flat type flywheel
the car has koni adjustables which cope with the extra weight fine,brakes are upgraded to cavalier gsi 256mm ate calipers

digi dash
gsi black dash
corsa signal stalks
gsi half leather
electric windows
central locking
delocked and depinned
toad ai606 cat 1 alarm
bonnet pins
c20xe engine with new belt and pump recent internal work
peco stainless backbox
polybushed front end
uprated solid competition engine mounts
stitch welded engine bay
gsi grill
gsi skirts
gsi bumper with towing eye cover
carbon covered mirrors
clear rear lights
startsn and drives a1,
tigra 15 inch alloys in silverdoes not come with the steering wheel or speedlines,these will be replace with other items
CAN BE DROVE AWAY,ready for summer fun
shame to see it go but im not going to use it,has a few issues need addressing which it is a 26 year old car,the digidash is faulty which i have another to go with it to replace,the rear arches i paid to have replaced which turned out to be a poor job which have blistered and come back through,needs odd interior trim,has been painted in alfa pearl which looks spot on but far from perfect but as you can see looks great,paint has been chipped on rear bumper,
overall it can be drove as it is for the summer and addressed in winter if needed,
i shall advise though its not slow and will give you much fun as it has me,it is taxed and tested and ready to go

also the fuel lines have been upgraded to correct injection ones to carry enough volume and the tank has been replaced with an injection tank with built in swirl pot and upgraded walbro fuel pump fitted:thumb:
