Definitely a GSi replica. Does look stunning though. I wouldn't let that out of my sight if it was mine!

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Must admit that is one nice loon, never seen it around though so wonder if it was a visitor to the area???
Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....

Arguably more of a Turbo rep as it is a facelift, has the Turbo boot spoiler, Turbo wheels, Turbo lights and boot panel, five stud upgrade and Turbo alloys... I'll give you the GSi grille and headlamps though :lol:

And yes, what the others said, get a Work In Progress thread on the go ;)

I travelled upto wrexham and bought it from ste price but it had cut springs standard shocks bent wishbones, mounts all split, rubbers all split, engine not idling,cracked windscreen,brake lines severed, etc etc etc so i am currently rebuilding it now and to be fair have spent a fortune already!!! but it has NO rust thats why i love it ;-)
