Thought i'd post up a few pics of my progress so far.
Will start with a few of my old motors, and how i got to owning a Type R.
First off was a Nova, well 3 to be precise. Absoloutely loved them and great first cars, Learnt so much from them, doing engine changes, gearbox's and generally maintaining them.
Then i moved onto Cavalier Sri's, had 2 of them, first was an 8v then i found a great redtop 16v.
After this came probably my favourite car of all time, a MK3 Astra GSi, i saved for ages for this car,
Then i moved onto something a bit quicker and more fun in the corners. My first 106 GTi,
Then sold that a got a calibra
then went all family and got a vectra
Then the astra's were calling me back so got another black MK3 GSi
after this i saw an advert for a cheap MK3 Astra GSi Turbo so i had to have it, was planning to swap the engine into my black one but decided to modify the red one and ended up with this
Then back to the vectra's
And back to the 106's again.
And finally onto the Type R's. Travelled miles to pick this one up
First i changed the exhaust for something that looked a bit better from a rear point of view, excuse the dirty car
And now i've got these ready to be fitted
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I do go back and forward with cars as you can probably guess, not the best line up of cars but all have a personal story to tell and they have all got me to the stage i am now.
