Was looking through a disc of files/pictures from a very old hard drive and came across some pictures of my old Belmont (since been scrapped...)

Bare in mind these pictures are from 2002 so not very good, it came into my work after the rear wheel came off (sheered (sp) off the axle) so i bought it for the hugh sum of £20 and then bought another belmont off the same guy for £30 and swapped the axle's over, when i bought the belmont it had already had a GTE engine fitted....

After getting it and swapping axle's i decided to strip the interior out (was getting a cage made...) and was going use it as a track car......few months later a Cavalier Gsi with 70k on the clock came in to my work to have clutch/flywheel replaced and i agreed to buy the Gsi for £200... (less than the clutch/flywheel + fitting cost lol) the plan was to put the Gsi rims/engine/front seats in and break the rest of the Cavalier but the rest of the people at my work said i would be stupid to break the low mileage Gsi so decided the belmont would just stay as is but after getting the Gsi i lost interest and spent all my time and money on the cav so scrapped the belmont in 2003.

Nope :( put a GTE front bumper/bonnet on and was going to spray it after that but never got that far....
