    Default MK1 More door 1.2L hatch!

    Right, Most of you have seen the green xe has been broken to raise a few £££, but you didn't think i'd be with out some other sort of project did you.
    The plans for this are simple, budget, gordon brown beating, cheap to insure, daily drive to have some fun with! Possibly kinda euro ratty, with a, ahem, small block engine! And to hopefully make the national day!
    Bought it off just vaux trev, (top fella!) a couple of weeks back as a none runner, banged a set of plugs in and away we go! It's already lowered -60mm on spax springs, but i want to go lower. Its lost the horrendous boot spolier and rear lights already!
    I have a low mileage e16se and box in the garage, may bung that in too,
    More updates soon........... possibly

    First job, just to get it to mot standard.

    (apologies for poor mobile pics!!)

    Had a 5 door as my first nova, nearly 15 yrs ago, so this will be a good ole blast from the past!
