very nice engine work there and alloys, a few £££ there with wheels and engine mods alone as they aint cheap!

add a set of ph1 gsi rear lights to that list and clear wing repeaters - Done!

do you no what power shes making with the mods?

 

[Space Cadet]

That looks lovely, the wheels look perfect on it too!

 

[R1c]

nice looking car you got there, welcome to the club m8

 

[Dava_gsi]

cheers guys,

ill get it on the rollers next time theres a day organised up here,
smoked side repeaters are probably a must aswell
a little bit of time and ill have here looking mint again

Very nice example of a ph2 there mate, welcome to the mk3 family.

 

[melv]

looking good there but my own opinion is that the wheels don't suit the mk3. They look a bit small I think. Looks clean enough body wise in the pics too

Any under bonnet pics?

 

[rickisgrate]

very clean and tidy by the looks of it

 

[_williams_]

lovely mate, seen it on pistonheads, not too sure on the wheels but theres plenty of potential there!

[kendo]

[djwilde69]

[Dava_gsi]

unfortunatly no engine parts just yet,
new bonnet grill and badges should be all good to go over the weekend

 

[Kev_mk3]

[Dava_gsi]

a few wee updates,

ph 1 bonnet added, opel grill, (cheers to guys at sos)
the cars been fully machine polished (cheers kev!)

heres how it sits just now,
only the one engine shot im afraid . . .

next up need to get myself some brakes so any easy upgrade recomendations are welcome,
wheels refurbeb and new tyres
also thinking about management not sure how much i will benifit out of this though as far as im aware all engine mods are set to work with standard ecu as it sits

Vectra V6 disc's and calipers FTW 288mm

What colour is it????

Stand alone managment is far far better than any standerd setup.

1 thing tho. Were are the TB's??? Is that not just a different inlet manifold?
