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

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 ;-)
