My LC you could say is pretty mint - www.LC890G.co.uk

Decs Nova Sport is also very impressive currently in progress - http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/proje...ova-sport.html

There's a few other very good concourse cars about but I guess you'd have to pop along to a Vaux show to find out (yes we do have them as well

)

Just needs the intercooler pipe work making up and few odds and sods, got a load of other bits here sat in boxes ready to go on it, plan was 320-330bhp and sub 1000kg which I reckon it should do, I've got £5ks worth of bills for the motor alone

Gotta love a 4x4 Astra mk3 GSI...been a few done now on MIG, i'm waiting for RC to make his RWD mk3 though ...

Shit chip, you remember that twin engined GSI? 2x 2l 8v turbo lumps i think it was, they were going to get switched for two LET's at some point but that was years ago!
