Just took some quick snaps as it was cleaned earlier today...
Shes not passed her test yet and is still learning, so wanted a nice cheap little runaround.
OJC was selling his Gsi and i bit his arm off for the bargain i got  (Cheers mate!) had it a couple of weeks but not got around to pics..
Here it is
Its not perfect, needs tidying but is in great nick considering the age.
Plans are to fit new brakes, got some Richbrook braided lines for it and got my old Alpine Ida X100 to go in there as soon as i get a new stereo loom as the owner previous to Ollie's wiring skillz are somewhat interesting 
Got an Inlet on there too so its quite nippy i was suprised! As Mrs J says "ooooo its got a bit of poke" Bless her
Comments/suggestions etc...

the wheels are not changing for a while as shes paranoid about crashing/kerbing etc as shes a n00b.
When she does change them softstars are what she likes and we already have -40mm springs 
Its got 2.0l brakes too

I thought the wheels looked wicked when I put them on.
JM, it's got an inlet on it. Goes like stink.

Had I not decided to grow up I would have finished it to a decent standard, it's a good base to start with.

And dont forget me AND Ollie have driven it, so the ball funk will mix with the pussy funk for an all out sexy funk 
Nic i dont prefer it to the M3 in anyway, however im not a rich man and i cant afford to mod my m3 as it costs SERIOUS money  Plus it doesnt really need it tbh its finished.
I like customising, i love Vauxhalls and always will. I have 2 projects planned in my head and i think im going to do both 
Wheels are better than std GSi IMO!
