Heres my sport spent some time looking for a 1400 sport as i needed something quite cheap to run and on insurance... but now ive got christmas out the way i can move onto doing some work to it.
First jobs are to replace the rusty bonnet and boot. Then ive started aqquiring parts to fully polybush and then drop it 60mm with bilstein shocks. Im saving for a gsi kit and then it will be going to get sprayed along with the repair to the drivers bpillar ive done at my girlfriends uncles bodyshop.
Next choice is wheels.... and then onto tuning which ill go into my choices when ive got an update

cheers guys.. hoping to build a b-road blaster, i was blessed with owning subarus, let'd astras and evos when i was younger, but lifes prioritys have meant ive had to have some time off from performance cars but now im able to begin again aged 25..
next question is do i fit an xe (which i would do with full proper shafts fresh exhaust, 4branch etc) so has associated costs or do i stick with the 1400 and fit some bike bodies, cams and exhaust system with the management i have in the garage as ive done on other cars before?
