yeh but iy looks like that car was done over a few years(judging by the 3 spokes!!!!!) so maybe a gsi was to high on insurance.

still think buying a standard GSI would get rid of all the hassel of modifing it which as we both know modfied cars aint worth Sh7t lol

Lookin on autotrader they seem quite cheap too. As u dont need the engine i reckon about £1.5k will get u a half decent nick one.
So long as it isnt rusted to fuck im not bothered

Alot of time and money was spent on that.
Olly gave me a list of what was spent - and it was all money well spent imo.
He doesnt miss it either - which is crazy, but the nova is keeping him happy.
