Recently bought this from ebay



A thread was started about who was going to buy it, and i did feel it was a bit of a risk as that was the only picture but it turned out to be pretty clean. Especially for £75! Had a light tap at the front which pulled out and needs a skim of filler. a few rusty bits here and there but ive paid a lot more for cars in worse condition.

So basically my plan is to turn it around pretty quickly with a full respray and engine conversion. So far its been stripped including engine. The idea for it is to be smooth and low, but with "old school" looks. Already smoothed the boot lock and holes for rear panel, passenger door handle and lock and considering smoothing the scuttle area (Unsure of that though). Inside the car i want comfort so looking for nice seats, current favourites are Audi S3 recaros with a gsi dash. The door cards however would be an issue, does anyone know if you can perhaps vinyl spray the original door cards? A half cage would be good too. The engine going in is a 1600 16v from a corsa, it did have a dbilas but had to sell it to pay rent .

Heres a photoshop of what i want it to look like eventually



Sorry for the lack of photos, forgot camera when i went to do the work. Will get them as soon as i can.

Selling this too, if anyone is interested?

Need the money to finish the saloon!
