Stage 1

Stage 1 was completed in around 1.5-2yrs... ( i really took my time ;) hehehe ).

Most components were painted in black or red. The car itself in 2-Pak Skoda Yellow ... after a while at the panelbeaters getting rust removedthat was ;). The spare wheel well and fuel tank well needed plating along with the rusty old aerial hole and one other patch by the back end right hand side. The back left was a bit riplly and needed straightening too.

However the car then sat in the garage (primed) for a few months. The garage leaked onto the left front guard and caused some rust to come back. When i finally got the car painted they said they would fix that first. Well they musta just sanded it back only coz now (6months l8r or so) there are some bubbles on my freshly painted panel!. Its not BAD but everyone notices it up close :(

Then the car was reassembled. Interior features 2 X Autosport 'Turbo' Fixed Back Buckets, new charcoal grey carpet and a re-skinned dash. I also fitted new charcoal carpet. I ripped the shitty tan vinyl off all the doors and stretched some black velour-looking material over them. (One day i will get these prof. done with some yellow in there too!). The roof lining was also sprayed black from its orig. cream. All the black plastic components were re-painted and a cusom g/knob, steering wheel and pedals were fitted.

The car is Dumped 2" at the front using standard struts and king springs. The rear was dumped 2" also by way of lowering blocks but it failed the certification by 10mm. Now the back is only 1" lower and soon i will reset the leaf springs to claim back that other inch :)

Wheels are 13" Cheviot US-800's with Bridgestone Eager tyres(215x50).

The 1600 OHV runs o/s pistons, Mild Street Cam, 32/36DGV Weber Carburettor, Extractors and a lightened flywheel.

Dyno'ed at 48KW - YAYAYAYYAYA!

Now move on to Pre-Stage 2!
