If you look at the top picture and scroll straight down to the one where all your mods are done it looks amazing! i think its great you had the chance to have a car when you were 15, most 15 year old lads are just discovering that alcohol gets them drunk never mind discovering how to mod a car lol love it looks mint in white!

Looks brilliant mate. How much did it cost to colour code the bumpers and trims?

Yes mate I sprayed them myself. Since that photo I have also done the dial surround as well

Ellison, Not 100% on an engine conversion at the minute. I was planning to do one over the summer but I cant afford to insure it with a bigger engine at the moment. Maybe next year

ashleh · 29-01-2009, 09:53 PM

Get a pic of the dial surround? I wanna see if it looks smart or not, tempted to do some interior myself.

Joshsl · 29-01-2009, 10:19 PM

i was behind you and next to you today you pulled out of a garage on the tyburn road i was in a red corsa

sri-monster · 30-01-2009, 10:44 AM

i think with a new engine and sparkling engine bay this could be a potential total vauxhall feature

shaunmods · 30-01-2009, 11:19 AM

Ashleh, heres a pic of the dial surround for you

Been done the same colour as the handle surrounds

Joshsl, Thought it was you mate

was picking up my speedline from laptab

sri-monster, I'd love to get it featured in TV. A lot of people have said to try and get it featured with the 12v still in it, just making the engine bay stupidly clean but not sure if the engine size woud put them off. Once i've finished everything I want to do to it i will be getting in touch with them. The worst they can say is no at the end of the day

ashleh · 30-01-2009, 11:26 AM

Go for it mate. End of the day it's a superb looking car so you should be happy either way

Awesome work there...

Puts a few of my plans into a physical picture, makes me want to do some of them more...

vaux.dan · 07-02-2009, 07:27 PM

really nice looking motor mate

shaunmods · 07-03-2009, 03:28 PM

Update

Decided it was about time I got my private plate transfered onto the car so monday afternoon I went down the the birmingham dvla office to get it sorted. Got the plates on as soon as I got home and took a few quick pics

Also got a new set of alcantara gear gaiters because my leather ones were looking a bit worse for wear. Fitted a new Richbrook slant top knob as well

Its going into the bodyshop on friday to have the bonnet and rear bumper resprayed

Cant wait to get it back looking mint!

Cheers guys
