Hi i have just joined the mk1oc forum. I was very impressed by the cars that you were showing at pv and was nice to see a few of them goin down the strip. I own the black Y reg mk1 that was showing with the novaload stand i bought it a week before pv. Also thanks to Jason who i spoke to at pv.
i hav made a few changes since these pictures, 17inch multispokes, vauxhall badges and standard rear lights.
Let me no what you think!!!!!! _________________ y reg 1300s gte kit xe on twin 45s |

Cheers Jay just needs the exhaust and it will be spot on. at the moment it has loads of dodgy bits of pipe welded together and is a very small bore!!! far to restrictive. And the backbox hangs on a piss. ![Sad](images/smiles/icon_sad.gif) _________________ y reg 1300s gte kit xe on twin 45s |

Yes it was on ebay. It has spax adjustables on it with a mk2 disc rear beam and grooved front 16vdiscs of some description which were on it already. It stops well though. ![big grin](images/smiles/biggrin.gif) _________________ y reg 1300s gte kit xe on twin 45s |

I think Chunk ran a 14.7 at POD, oooh this is going to be a good show down at Retro cars if you both come to that. |
