Ive owned this car since May 2006 with the intention of turning it into a cheap trackday toy. Well those who know me will know how lazy I am and haven't really touched it since a few weeks ago. Anyway I bought it off a good mate of mine who bought it as a completely standard 1.1 bonus with 42k and its had a few owners. Its only ever had one piece of welding on the lower corner of one arch/sill and doesn't need any which is one the reasons I bought it, along with the fact it has no sunroof. Its a very solid car but does have a few rust scabs which are just superficial and add to the rat look lol. When my mate owned it he put in a rebuilt 1.6cvh from a mk3 xr3 which has a kent cam, k&n filter and full janspeed exhaust with 4 branch manifold. At the same time he added a mint escort turbo lsd gearbox but decided to just chop the springs, put some alloys on and added the awful tinted windows. Heres when I bought the car minus the alloys and then it just sat at my grandads then my nans. Since then ive put on some nearly new konis and -25mm rst springs, s1 wheels and removed the tints so far. Ive still got to strip out the interior and add my bucket seats and harnesses and a lot more besides but more on that when I start. Anyway enough waffling here are a few pics!

When I bought it home from my nans

Nice tints! (note the racing moss)

Rocker cover is going, ive got a couple of 16i ones but the breather hole is causing probs clearing the carb/inlet

Whos said chopped springs were dangerous lol
