i was eyeing this up on ebay is it the one from chepstow way its a good buy mate what are the plans for it?

[gez c16b]

yeah was near newport mate. its going to have a full bare shell respray after winter and the 1.4 is going to have some work done on it, different wheels, laguna splitter, lowered 60mm rather than the current 25-30mm. and a couple of other bits and peices.

all it has done to it is;

koni adjustable suspension all around
pro speed full exhaust system.

very nice mate nice to see your keeping the 1.4

looks like it has had a good start then. i also spy its got a full gsi kit fitted which will save you a job of finding all the kit.

also as don says, good to see you sticking with the 1.4 they can be tuned rather well.

yeah, everything is there, just the paint needs some tlc. so im going to get that sorted with a full shell respray. interior is mint, as new. and build the 1.4 up to a good spec. should hopefully see 120+ bhp.

interior has had seat covers over all its life, so i will be doing the same:
crap picture but...

Looks very clean, really nice example that

looks a good find mate, keep it standard its only going to go up in value !!!!!!!

[gez c16b]

yeah i will be doing some things to it. but for example. when i change the wheels they will be vauxhall wheels. so it will still be OEM sort of spec, just loving driving it at the moment, making the most of it because once it has a bare shell respray doubt ill want to take it out if there is a cloud in the sky :lol:
