Well i thought id best give you all a laugh and show my shed ,it aint much but i love it plus its clean(ish) and yes it IS a merit .
I bought her from a guy who lives near me for £50 ,he had it from new but didnt use it much hence the 9k on the clock .I plan to do alot with the car but only as my wallet alows me to ,first on the list was the crapy cream interior which will be swaped for the black job .Then i will address the poo colour paint once all the bodywork has been sorted .
At the moment its lowered 60mm at the front and 40mm at the back as alot of MDF is intended for the boot ,also i have my prize possesion ,my wheels .They are 7x18" BK 239's with toyo proxie T1s tyres and apart from the s/s back box which i hve no idea who made ive done nowt to it at the mo .

When the body shop gets a little less busy (booked solid till feb next year)its going to get the boot smoothed but keeping the line at the top but loosing the rear wiper and number plate recess ,bad boy bonnet and de-locked .I just want a general tidy up with it so some new pannels are on the cards also such as new wings ,door skins all round and both rear arches to be done just to be on the safe side .
With the GTE stuff i could be breaking am 8v GTE soon so im going to take the electrics from that ,but i want the SRi bumpers like that of my SXi ,its just the GTE wanabe has been done to the death ,but cheers for the offer mate

Im big on the sleeper idea but with what im goig to do with it some people would see it as a sleeper .

It started of with a 1.3 :o , but as i get my 1.8se built up complete with its new race cam ,it should just about have enough power to pull the skin from a rice pudding lol.

small capacity is ok you just have to keep the revs high . i got 115mph from my 1.4 merit regularly
