Front;



Side;



Rear;


Handbrake ;


well here she is an before u start telling me how pants she looks read the title this is the very beginning lol

all i've done so far is modifiyed the front grille but it keeps crackin so hopefully a GSi item will be on soon
have changed the handbrake gaiter and also recovered the armrest

Mods planned:

Minor rust in arches needs sortin and arches need cutting
have full lotus kit minus spoiler needs 2 be fitted
considering GSi brake upgrade
Bigger wheels probably 17''s
grey leather interior

when all thats done i'll probably have a million more things 2 do lol

just an update have aquired:


a touring car spoiler from Pete aka Pedro
and also twin headlight conversion (which were damaged and needed fibreglass repair)

have fitted clear oval side repeaters
have also started removing the wood trim and painting some of the interior
and fitted green neons in the footwells and added green LED's to the inside of the armrest and in the storage tray in the dash  (pics will be shown when finished  Wink )
