Here she is, in all her glory. Its stock exept for the masive Alpine audio system. 221ci, three on the tree auto, 140hp, WOOO. soon to come is a full rebuild. I dont know what wheels to get though. Globes or simmons b45s, what do you think? wadesta/good.gif

sounds sweet mate,id bomb a windsor in it but thats just me,good on ya if ya keep the 6,originality is good

Should be a great project. Keep it simple. Don't overdo it with the fancy techno stuff, nice rims, good stereo, wicked paint...... should be good.
AMERICAN RACING Torque thrusts aren't cheap, but look tops.

I can look into if we can get and what we could do for the koni's, Hoppers stoppers 300mm front discs and swaybars as well if you'd like. As well as the kingsprings. Just Pm me or DAS_DAVE.


Fpv seats might sit a bit high with all the tricky stuff under them, the seats in foz's car look nice and comfy donno what they are tho.
