Right as some of you may know ive got a merit and will not part with it for love nor money as i have some major plans for it .Some of you among us may not like what i want to do as it could be seen as chav but i dont care tbh .
This is more a thread for myself as i ahve a thousnad and one ideas for it and mor than one project going on so i thought id lay it down as im fairly set on the direction i want to go with it .
Any way here is a couple of pic as she stood and stands

Now for the plan
Exterior :
Stripped back to bare metal replacing wings ,sills ,rear arches and doors .
Mk3 Astra Gsi front and rear bumpers and some home made side skirts to look like mk3 GSi ones made out of some Astra GSi and Cavy GSi ones .
Mk4 side repeators recessed into the wings (stolen from Benns nova on Mig) smooth tailgate keeping the line at the top as not to look too smooth also removing the wiper ,no bottom spoiler just a top one .
Bad boy bonnet with Astra 4S (Sorry Steven and Meady i will forward this on soon) vent no GTE ones ,custom grille .Im still unshure about quads yet .Single wiper with a smooth scuttle panel and for the doors im not loosing the handles im going to fit Audi A4 ones all round .
Wheels & Suspension :
Ill be puttin my 18" BK 239's back on with some new Toyo Proxie T1S (215,35,18) and dropped all round 60mm with some Bilstein yellows in all four corners . Polybushes in every space and front and rear alloy strut braces .
Brakes :
Up front some Hi-Spec Billet 4pots with 325mm rotors all in gold .slowing the rear will be a 16v rear beam with recon calipers and some drilled discs with EBC Green Stff pads and Goodridge braided brake lines all round .This will al run from a non ABS 16v master cylinder .
Engine :
Now this is going to be a C20LET with the F28 box and im as yet unshure of the total extent of the mods but a modest amount of power will be had from it .The basics i know are the more cosmetic ones for the look of the car such as Samco silver hoses .Cam cover painted in Arden blur to match with a carbon cam belt cover .Bailey alloy PS and header tank .
Now thats it for the moment ,and dont think this is going to happen anytime soon as i have debt that needs clearing first but this will happen .I just needed to get it down some were i can read and add to it as more ideas form .
Feel free to add yopur coments on my master plan :D
