furry muff. Redtop can go (ask Johnny A) but is pretty tight to the brake servo IIRC and isnt 100% straightforward.... depends how mechanically adaptable you are  2.0 is fine for economy, drive it right and you can get good MPG |

oh and it is totally orioganal have the origional stereo as well lol .. needs the arch strip on one side and the rear bumper sorting as a bit lop sided ..interior is like new and smells like a new car hehe still amazes me the amount of car you can get for so little money hence do not want to change cars looks apart from lowering a bit and alloys as i do like the low looks on a big car maybee shine the bumpers up a bit but eh glad to back th vx bmw are great but i miss the easiness of how early vauxhalls are to work on ; )

Facelift from mid '91
Different bumpers, door trims, wheels and some interior differences too.
