Got the car back yesterday, as you can see its a cracking job. Only problem is that the car was covered in tree sap from sitting under a tree but thats all gone now and Ive polished it up nicely! :laughing:
Let me know what you think.

Just for those that dont know, its had new arches and sills, rear spoiler re-attached and rear boot panel bonded on as it was slightly loose.

I quite like the badges etc all removed as some people still dont know what to expect.

The wheels are Teckno TK5's. They do look a bit funny in the pics but look very nice in the flesh.

Heres a pic of the old wheels.
Only problem is the car handled like crap and didnt have the same response but most importantly that all 4 wheels had been welded in about 4 places!

That pic doesnt do the last wheels justice either!

But i'll second that Cav's and Astra's handled like A Grand piano with 17's and it kills acceleration alot...

Rover's!
I like the rims actually, they have a almost factory look about them, and don't distract from the fact its a higher spec model than normal.

Nice imo!

LOL Who knows whats been done to it but its got standard pulleys so most likely standard cams. From looking at it the only external engine mods are a Scorpion decat and Piper back box but then alot of Redtop engines still put out more than standard power even 10 years later! :grinning:

The black boot panel was a little dull so I just polished it and it came up nicely.
