Very true lol
Get them badges off and get some euro lights
I could have sworn you had a euro reverse cluster at some point? Not on the car, but obtained and waiting to fit...Quote:

then the worst came..
went to take my old backbox off.. it was stuck on.. took us an hour to get it off.. and by then it was butchered.. so threw it.
then we went to put the new peco bb4 on.. and sods law.. it didnt f***in fit.. completley wrong shape and pipe.. so we had no exhaust.. no backbox and a slit finger.. ace.. not
anyway.. ages ago i had a peco exhaust with a flame tip.. and i thought it fitted a nova.. but never got round to fitting it to my mk1.. as it was shortly scrapped after that.. so i stuck it on the roof of the office
anyway.. i got it down and we tried to fit it.. and law and behold.. it did.. came out on a dodgy angle and stuck out about 2 inches but it fitted.. just
after 2 hours of playing around with it.. we managed to get it to fit without knocking on the axel.. which was a bonus.. then we set about making a custom hander to hold it on... fitted fine.. was well happy
took it over the first speedbumb.. clang it fell off the hanger.. at this point dad was well p**sed off lol
anyway we got it back up and realised we handt bent the bracket back up.. bent it up and jobs a goodun :thumb:
took it for a drive.. and the sound is amazing.. sounds brilliant and cant complain for free.
it will be staying on.. as im not driving around with no backbox lol

so overall.. a knackering day but god was it worth it lol :thumb:
That exhaust doesn't look too bad! I remember trying to take my backbox off and it was stuck solid to the middle pipe, ended up removing the whole thing as 1 piece lol
Good choice in side repeaters too.
I have to admit, its starting to look pretty tidy mate. Theres a lot of kids your age who would set about ruining a car like that, fair play!
At this point you just need to work out where the stop line is, and I think its getting close, especially for insurance reasons, if nothing else.
if you want a pointer, the best thing you could do now is find another engine, and take it to bits, and then put it back together again with new bits, with the help of a hains manual. Youl learn a hell of a lot, and if you do a pukka job, youll have a fresh engine for it when your ready to start driving.
Just a thought, but i did something similar and I learnt loads!
