It started life as a standard 1.2 8v LS
After i tided it up abit:
After a few mods i was in a crash which sore the car being fixed by me:
Finally it has come togeather and ive sorted the exterior with subtle touches and interior from a corsa sport.
Now im bored and was thinking about a full respray and engine transplant, just wondering what peoples sugestions are for new mods.
New additions are V6 brakes and momo stearing wheel.

If your going for an engine conversion, what engine and spec are u going for?
Cos if its an LET, dont go V6 brakes route IMO. Save the cash for something better, youll need it!
Looks nice tho, like the colour combo, looks smart

Cheers, i didnt realise when i got a non GM spoiler that there different abit annoyed and getting a genuine GM spoiler may mean me drilling more holes so may not bother just yet.
Sprayed various bits of my interior today,so will look abit classier inside.

jambo, how do you mean dont fit v6 brakes if you fit a turbo? they the same calipers are they not as the cally turbo ones that stop a 1700kg barge alright, sure theyd manage to stop a 900kg corsa.
maybe im wrong though

They are fine to use, good power, but there are better options for a lot more money

v6 brakes are spongy... but if you think there not good then you havent installed them right... when i had them on my car they'd send you out through the front window if you pressed them hard enough...

ed, lol, i think its the lot more money bit that made me get turbo calipers for that nova. paid summit daft like £25 inc delivery off ebay for calipers and discs, had the discs drilled to 4 stud. bargain for half decent brakes

My 2.0 16v brakes off of a Vectra (I think) were £30 from the scrappy... Had covered bugger all miles too Want some Godpseed 4 pots though becase the 2.0 brakes don't feel powerfull engough any more... Maybe because they have no meat left on the pads
