Felicity

Well i think its about time to start a project thread so here goes.

When i first bought her this is how she looked with proper GTE hubs :cool:

And then a quick change of wheels she went to this.

Not much changed through the time i owned her but a sports manifold, stainless system and a digi dash which took ages to fit.

Then came another change of wheels to a cool 13" which are still there today.

Then one night disaster struck and she was stolen, an absolutely gutting experience thinking you will never get your pride and joy back.

Results of the theft which luckily werent all that bad.

Caused by the recovery company taking care removing her from a ditch or something :roll:

So after that i had to get new parts which included a new crossmember, 2 new wings, starter motor, bumper, grille and bonnet.

Ready for the new cross member.

Whilst all this change was going on i though i would treat her and myself so i got a Mk2 GSi dash.

Was pretty happy with myself as it was the biggest job i had undertaken on her, however after it all was sick to death of cutting and soldering and heat shrinking wires together, also with a few cuts and scars on my hands to top it all off. :thumb:

At the moment parts are at the body shop getting sprayed up ready for her to go back on the road, will obviously get pics up when she is all done.

Cheers :thumb:

i prefer the original wheeltrims to the alloys - sorry to see it got pinched looks a nice example

looks nice.. is the roof getting fixed?

so what other plans you got for it

Will do my best for the roof i suppose but dont know what it will turn out like.

Probably just the usual, get it lowered, i have some cesaros for her which need tyres, might get some clear indicators just some little cosmetic touches really.

this has suprised me somewhat..

Can't wait to see the progress on this.

Very Nice!
