Sounds cool, I love a standard looking bonus with a bit of poke!

will have a butchers mate. nowt like been tailed by a plonker in a saxo only to see him get smaller and smaller in the rear view. and all from a car that probably struggled to break 60hp once upon a time!! i also think base models are cool as fuck, with the rights bits of course.

had a look mate, very nice. what a difference from 1st to last pic. the std dampers looked like they must have been a larf to remove. did the height settle or did it still sit higher after a few days? i put new spax on mine and it sat like a std car for a day or two. the shell of yours looked like a nice one to start with, not many good ones left now. what you doing interior wise?

Cheers mate! They weren't too bad tbh, bit of WD40 and they were off lol! It did sit too high so I bought some lower springs, if you read the entire tread you will see what I've been up to with it interior wise It's certainly the best bonus I've ever had and was a bit of a bargain too! When I sold the engine and box, the shell owed me £50 lol!
