easy fixes looking at it and for £200 you cant argue its just over scrap value.

51kmiles with a weekends work it should be worth loads more.

i went and picked it up the other week, and fudge me its like aladins cave, full of surprises some good some bad

firstly i broke down on the waty back because when i washed it i gt the dizzy wet :oops:
on my way backi picked up that window from luton for £15 cant be bad
on the sunday i fitted it and fudge me never again i couldnt believe how dificult it was, during this i found out the central locking on that door doesnt work as the lock is really stiff and that the door frame had been damaged but not that bad i spose,
my exhaust fell off the otherday because the centre box disintegrated but hey i took it off from centerbox back and it sounds amazing lol,
but ive raced a few stuff in it now and fudge me they didnt know what hit them some of the things ove raced are below:

PUG 205GTI - modified - about even
LANDY V6 - he had no chance lol
SAXO VTR - modified - beat him bu the wernt taht far behind tbh

the most prestigues win so far
MERCEDES C180 KOMPRESSOR - was close but he never knew what hit him he must have been a shite driver lol

also i changed the front pads a day ago and the old ones were shagged, the 2 old pads form one side ontop of eachother wasnt even as thick as 1 new one there was like 1 mm left on them, but luckily i had a spare set knocking about,
cant wait to get it tip-top as its lovely to drive tbh

drinks the fuel tbh with the exhaust off

thats iot for now guys ill keep you updated :p

hasnt gone for its test yet im doing some work on it at the moment, im looking for somwheren to respray it as the bodywork isnt that good, my college was goin to do it all i needed was the paint n prep items but there fully booked until september and i wanted it in mint con for PVS so im looking for somwhere cheap and good for it at the moment, im getting the engine profesionaly cleaned aswell i think,. im looking on soda blasting it if not ill just wire brush it myself and get it gleaming, as i want to make a big apearance at PVS this year but im toying with keeping it bog standard (pretty much) or putting in a C20LET but i wouldnt have the engine in and running right by then due to funds so i think this year its goin to be the C18NZ still, but hopefully will loook gleaming with a new coat of paint nice painted or polished engine
im in the process of trying to find a set of standard vauxhall fan blade alloys for it to give it the right look but havent found anything thats good enuf for the money there asking even though im getting them recond when i get them

anyway enough for now ill keep you all informed :D
