wow !! aint see one of for years , well the underneath of one . i seem to remember welding a lot of drivers/passengers chassis outriggers for mot's in my youth

[Redorado]

this is the only one i can find at the mo of my old Rover 400 1.6 s before its demise (my own fault) the k-series engine in it was fairly nice thing to work on if you didnt mind the odd grazed knuckle.

i was due to overhaul the engine about 2 weeks after i did this due to the head gasket was aout to give up the ghost, so glad i hadn't been and bought the gear for it.

still do have a softspot for the 400/45/zs's

[Cavyman_130]

good old cavalier of course, I have never been one to p*ss around in 1.2's etc. so I started off with a 2.5 v6

what splitter was on it

[Gaz]

seat cordoba i think.

[Squig]

me... 998cc vw polo 3 door saloon, fantastic car... had I known cars as I now know cars I would probably still have it.... with a big engine.... or the G40 lump

[Gaz]

I nearly bought a mk1 golf, i should have had that.

[Squig]

I've been tempted many times by the vw marque.... first the polo was a cracker, then offered a mk2 (mk1) cabriolet gti with a 2.0 mk4 gti lump in and a friend bought a bus a while ago... I sometimes buy the vw tuner mags, I feel like I'm cheating

[Gaz]

too much polishing and not enough driving for my liking, the vw lot.

[Squig]

oh no Gaz, I really like the rat look in classic vw's

No polishing for me!

[FoxyCav]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww squig shame on you. remember those nova's at Pvs they looked totally minging

Havent got any pics of my first car, it was a bright orange mk1 Astra which i bashed around in my first year of driving. the head gasket went on it in the end and the back box fell off i sold it to 2 chavs for £100

[Cavalier342]

Hi guys this was my first car, the famously rare Mitsubishi Colt MK2, which is basically the hatch version of the first Galants. 1.3 liter carb, 12V engine which actually was impressively torquey Anyways it cost me just £100, with tax and MOT for a long time, but that was only because it was a friend of my dads who sold it. Still, i basically drove it for almost a year and took it for the MOT thinking it was ok, but it ended up filling a sheet and a half on the failures Corroded brake pipes all round, emissions, headlamp aim, few other bits, but the guy said it was around the £400 for repairs so i ended up getting another car instead. Shame, i really miss this great little car







Then i discovered the LED's Thats where it all began
