Hello all,

These are the last pics you'll see of G656 ERP. I have finally finshed her, just in time for Trax.... To be honest its never been my main project this car... It was just a mess around with Fibreglass and my Boy Racer days... I wanted to do something bold and mad and to be honest a lot of you won't like it and thats fine... But I love it, as every part of it was done by me... From the engine to the spraying. After Trax it will be stripped down, The bodykit sold and then its back to the main event (A Sweet Mint Smoothed GSi with the most Powerful 1.6 8v Vaux lump ever made :?: Hopefully.... Turbo'd of course) This car will be at Trax and going round the track so if your there watch it, as I will be giving it death (and yes it still has rear brake bias :lol: ).

Enjoy these final pics.... As the next you see from me will be the build of my GSi.

I give you G656 ERP.....

All Winter I worked on those Bl00dy Kick well speaker builds, Screen centre console and glove box DVD player mount..... But its been worth it. Even though its only been used for a month.

And heres whats in the back (never quiet finished this.... It was going to have a cage and carbon side panels but oh well....

Cheers to everyone who's helped me over the last 2 years, Transforming this car from a ?735 Bog standard GTE to what it is today. And also to you lads on Novaload for your support and advice.

Stunning Car Neil, and very fast. I was just thinking of your car for some reason, lol.

Shame I wont get to see it in the flesh at Trax, but if you still have it in one piece by December you'll have to come to the annual MK meet :)

Has come on a long way since i first saw it @ Castle Coombe last season with no bumper and in Primer LOL.

Hopefully the silver one looks as good, we have a nice little silver GSi we cant decide what to do with LOL.

Thanks a lot for all the Comments guys. Its good to know that my Efforts have been appreciated.

The car has to be broken im afraid for two reasons.

Firstly Because it is Structurely Dieing! And secondly because I need a bit more money to fund the new car.

Therefore, Most of what you see on this car will be up for sale in the near future.
All the exterior bits: Bumpers, Bonnet, Sideskirts etc.... The wheels, and the TV surround and Glovebox.

Look for a post in a few weeks in the For Sale section if you think you might be interterested in something.

PS: NO THE ENGINE IS NOT FORSALE BEFORE ANYONE ASKS :D :D

Cheers
