My 1.2 Project

[Lee-170]

Well this is my first car a J Reg 1992 1.2 single point injection Nova Trip In White with 87 000 miles on it when i bought the car it looked a bit sorry for its self and am gradually getting it to how i want it

The Day I Got It http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb188/Lee-170/Standard1.jpg
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb188/Lee-170/Standard.jpg

i do not like colour coded bumpers so first thing i did was fit a standard bumper with a renault laguna splitter

I then fitted my Custom Chrome Racing Back Box

next was clear lights

[vaughanmc]

[SKoob]

Looking good so far, those wheels are the early 13" three spokes as found on early SRs i think, very rare these days.

[Lee-170]

[Ash]

As SKoob said Re: Wheels

Your shocks are AVO fixed rated ones btw. Kayta (or who ever) make the shocks for the avo kit, they also make the standard shocks for peugeots ;)

Smart car you have there

[Lee-170]

there are like self ajusting gas shocks they do the job

[Lee-170]
