yea does look like it was all done propperly!!! do u get discount from tweaks??? can put u in touch with guy i deal with there and he tries to get best price he can most of the time! sure u would buy alot more stuff than i do from there also, hehe

hey :(

It was good fun building and racing.

Bought the car for 400, all in spent about 1700 maybe... sold for 1000.

So.... na, never think you are going to make profit from building track cars. Unless you use really cheap parts, old parts etc.

We could have done it a fair bit cheaper, but i dont really have the patience to wait for bargain (right) bits to appear and just end up ordering them from Demon Tweeks

Cage, exhaust, brake bias, lines, harnesses were all new.

yes....it actually could manage a track day...unlike the bucket

I bet that was 10x the fun the Corsa was as well wasn't it?

how much did it actually cost then all together??? can u make money by doing cars up or track and selling? came along way from when u got it, goos job sorting the rust!!!

Dont think this has been covered in one thread before. Sold the car now, but someone might find this usefull down the line.

bought the car as an MOT failure. It was a 1987 1.9 GTi in graphite gray.

It needed new rear beam, new winscreen, horn, some re-wiring, brake pipes to pass MOT.





The car sat unused for about 7months after purchase 'till we decided to do something with it. Stripping started.




Once that was started it was really just looking out for cheap parts, and fixing the MOT probs.

wheel refurb




prep and fitting of OMP 10pt cage.
