well guys as my saloon project is drawing closer to a finish (for now anyway) ive decided to get another project - I took it as part ex for my old sr its not the cleanest around and its had a hard life but the shell is solid enough and im not to worried about a bit of work
its been repainted in vauxhall aurora blue (corsa sports) but the laquer coat hasnt been done very well (read wonder and charles paint job etc) some of it will flat back and polish but theres also small dents on most panels - so i think i'll end up getting a full shoot again, the gloss black bumpers were ones i had lying around and wanted to see what theyd look like - i think theyre going to stay!
plans are stripped out interior all panelled out in black leatherette, small install and maybe some trick features in the rear - not too sure about the tailgate - the spoiler is coming off thought in favour of a gte wraparound finished in the same gloss black, for the wheels im going to have the gloss black astra six spokes for everyday driving and some volk racing/ray GR-C euros finished off in the aurora blue nice unique touch i think ;)
lastly the engine will get changed but what to at this stage is anyones guess lol - ive even looked into a saab HOT turbo just to be different lol
anyhoo heres the pics - the first 2 are as i got it and the rest are as it is now - you can just make out my templates for my rear inner panels
