GSi finally on the road!

Post by cavgsi83 »

Hello everyone :wave i joined cavmk3oc back in December when my gsi was SORN but now the nice weathers here i've finally pulled my finger out and got it back on the road. So heres some pictures for you all.

Its a 1991 J reg and has covered just over 149000 miles, its far from mint but having said that its not too bad for its age either!

The car has a few mods these being:
Slightly lowered dont know how much though
Different exhaust system
Face lift SRi rear lights
Tinted windows
17' alloys
Turbo leather interior with kerb lights wired into rear door cards
Calibra oil/volt gauges
Lockwood white dial kit to match Calibra gauges

Should be going to Billing in it as well :D

Not really, as its a GSi its got leccy windows in the rear so i joined a cable onto the live for that and then run the earth through the rubber sleeving where the cables go into the car and joined it to the door contact earth switch. The hardest part is removing all the trim to do it.

Thanks for all the nice feedback :D . To be honest the pictures are making the car look better than what it is. Future plans are i want to have the bonnet resprayed as its covered in stone chips and also the roof done as its not too clever. The front bumper does have some small damage as can be seen in the second picture just to the right of the towing eye cover. This was my fault as i had to take the car to the garage and it wasnt insured so i towed it there. Id always used a tow rope before but i thought i'll get a proper towbar to do it safely but when i turned a sharp corner the towbar caught the bumper :cry . After thats sorted im going to fit the obligatory laguna front splitter :lol: . I reckon at the moment its lowered 30-40mm but i want to try 60mm and also get the air-con working. I did try having this re-gassed a few years ago but it was leaking from a pipe, vauxhall still had them in stock back then but it was about £175 :shock:
