Thanks Dave. Not yet, just trying to finish it and get it on the road for now
Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
Another day at it, fitted the rest of the bodykit and the wheels
Still have the ABS problem
Still need a few bits, plastic bonnet hinge covers, headlight wipers, front drivers side plastic kick plate, rear seat folding mechanism for the small seat as the seat wont stay upright and I could do with a passenger side sill cover as its been repaired and I can tell.
Got the front end to do yet, CV joints, wishbones, new shocks, springs, disks and pads. Still have the ABS problem

Coming along nicely. Personally I think it needs something to break the white, but I reserve judgement because I haven't seen it on a decent sized screen yet.

Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
I was unsure about the all white but you know what that looks really good the white wheels pull it together

Some black vinyl on the door pillars would look good on that

I don't think it needs much, like Dan said, a little black on the pillars would be enough on the sides. Back end reminds me of the early xr3 cabriolet as it stands, badges might make all the difference.

I could picture that and it would look spot on in my opinion.Gray16v wrote:was thinking of something like this ........

Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
not much of an update, too busy boxing up for the house move
replaced the rad fan switch and fitted the headlight wipers, its not a million miles off now, just need to get the timing cover and rocker cover powder coated and a new air filter housing. then mot time.
