[1.6 gsi]

does anybody know any history of the car?

[Nova_Houch7]

Looks good, will be even better once is totally sorted1

Not sure on history myself, but im sure someone off here will help you with that!

[ANDYRACER]

Blooody hell that things still going. Seen that car in the feature sections years ago.

[Adam]

Will look much better with black/grey bumpers.

[Nova_Houch7]

Yeh black or grey bumpers would look sweet.

[1.6 gsi]

after a good TCUT today. couldnt be ****d doing the bumpers because they are being replaced :) you can tell the difference by looking at what they are like!

[Mr-G]

love the colour not a very nice bit of grot on the boot though :(

[NOV4_SPORT]

pretty cool, will look minted with the black/grey bumpers, keep us aptaded with progress pics.

[1.6 gsi]

yeah, will keep progress pics up :)

if i can find a decent enough paint match, it will have 2 new doors and a new boot.
the main thing is that it is mega solid underneath :)

[Adam]

Looks much shinier now, are you keeping the wheels that are on it? I reckon they'd look cool in grey/black too.

[1.6 gsi]

am toying with the idea of spraying the wheels a anthracite colour :)

[Riggy]

looks quite good
makes me want to fit my set of them wheels to my car now lol

[craig green]

Was gonna say that looks a dog but it has come up really well with T-cut. So my reply is now. Wow that looks really sweet!

looks quite old skool, I guess due to the colour. Looks like some sort of Max Power feature car circa 1997..LOL

[Breeny]

Not this one is it?

Dunno what the reg was, but that was in Max Power 1998/9ish IRC.

[craig green]

I wasnt referring to any feature in particular, just that it looked like a kindof timewarp feature car...

It couldve been in Max Power going by the styling, if you get me?

[hendrix]

nowt there breeny

[craig green]

nowt there breeny

Me too.

[Breeny]

It's because the php code is converting it to a smiley.. lol It should say

"NL OLDSKOOL" (No space)

[Riggy]

got its similarities there lol

i rememer it from somewhere but dont know where lol

[Phil GTE]

It was part of the Saturday Club (on RB years ago)

Guy that owned with friends with Grom (Pepe) and Flush. The WRC (Ross) owned it for a while.

Belive it has inverted track rod ends (geek alert)


Shame about all the visible Rot. Cav GSI rims sprayed to match the bumpers would look moody.

[1.6 gsi]

the thing is, the visable rot is the only rot on it!

is mint underneath!

[Matt2107]

Its not bad that mate.

[1.6 gsi]

its by no means a minter on the outside, but is solid underneath and thats what i was looking for

[discoinferno]

looks like it'll be pretty good when it get the black bumpers on it!

when was the last time it was used on the road then??

[Paul]

If i remember correcvtly rustwagon used to own that
