[JSeymour]

What wheels are they?

compamotive mo's

looks good, sounds like you got it for a good price aswel.

[draper]

i think so, first job is o get it in the air and double check everythink underneath - it as had some welding in the boot but it looks a good job

[General Baxter]

theres a complete throttle body kit on ebay for that ;)

[draper]

[Adam]

Sweet car, i've got a few pics of that when it was for sale a few months ago, it sold for a lot more than you paid too iirc.

Very tidy indeed, is that a antibes carpet?

Sell me the engine,Lol.

[Kinky Monza]

Quality purchase Draper

[draper]

cheers folks, not really sure if its a genuine antibes, ill have a butchers later. plans are to run around in this all next year, hit every track day and show i can then decide whether to turn my other shell into a track only car :thumb: although there was talk of LETs on the way home lol

[rc]

very nice looks like it had a bit of money put to it, got loads of nice suttle mods, except the air horns lol

good little bargain there, wat does it go like?

[draper]

pretty well, sounds nica aswell - yeah the air horns are...erm.... different but hey, maybe gaskell will pay a fair bit for them if i tell him they add 10bhp and make you invisible to coppers

[Novasport]

C16XE or X16XE?

[draper]

im not entirly sure lol its out of a later corsa sprot so id guess at X!6XE - ill check later thowhen im doing some bits and bobs on it

[Novasport]

Prob an X16 then, C16XE's usually have a plastic inlet manifold

[Novasport]

Yeah its an X16 as there is no AFM

[Riggy]

[draper]

Yeah its an X16 as there is no AFM

the plan (at the moment lol) is to runaround in this, go to all the track days and then prob build my other shell into a full blown track car next winter ready for 2008 as i should have my house then, and a drive

[Matt2107]

Nice one draper... look forward to seeing it at the next cheltenham meet.

[draper]

i nearly turned up at this one as a surprise lol but i went to fetch this instead

[craig green]

Quality!

that car was quite well known in PNg circles from years back. Still looks well loved & glad to see its found its way into the hands of another enthusiast.

If you ever feel the need to sell the wheels........ I am wanting a set of those at the moment....
