was just finished off the vx last week and mum asked if she could borrow it while her car was going into be repaired!
i cant afford to put tax and insure it at the min so she is gonna be borrowing it!
she is just a little bit over 5 foot and is mid 50's!!
i think the stage 4 tuned 290hp engine could be little more exciting than her.......................
1.25 litre fiesta! lol
few pics now its almost done, suspension is not right yet cos fitted springs i bought and they are for a na not turbo so gonna pop the standards back on!
and prob save for some coilovers!

My 60 year old dad has just driven my 374bhp RX7 to Devon "to make sure everything's running ok..."
Fucking Devon! From Bolton! Been racing Subarus as well by all accounts, called me from the car at one point and stopped mid sentence to say "A bloody Impreza's sat up my arse, I'm not having that" followed by the noise of my car on full chat.

Citroen reliability for you
It might sound weird but I think I'd put a Vaux badge on the bit between the bumper and bonnet, one of the big ones off the back of a new Astra
