rick's white gsi project

[rick gsi]

had my fair share of vauxhalls but recently fancied another gsi, only looking for a cheap project as i have a daily runner and will be a long term project.
anyway ill let the pics do the talking

 

[rick gsi]

it had been stood in a garage for past 5 years while the previous owner was in prison, he came out and needed it gone so made a cheeky offer lol
spec
2.0 16v redtop
lowered not sure how much but very low
18" masitaly alloys
morettes
full black and cream leather

need some work but seems quite solid main problem is that some scum bags have tried to steal it and damaged the column dials wiring etc but probley more when i have a closer look.

Very nice mate crackin and very rare wheels you got there fella.

 

[rick gsi]

a few of my old vauxhalls

 

[rick gsi]

thanks loffty, are they the same as khan's as they say masitaly?

 

[Loffty01]

Very similar mate.
When you can find them new they retail for over £100 a wheel where kahns are almost twice that.
Nice selection of vauxhalls you got there fella.

Thanks for the comments, thanks for the info on the alloys think I got very lucky with this one lol,
plans are to just get it spot on again after being stood for 5 years just needs some tlc,
may do a few changes like swapping the alloys for white speedlines and change headlights/grill for standard I think.

 

[Loffty01]

Any time fella

 

[pvb]

if ya decide to go back to standard lights, may be interested in the morrettes, depending on price.

Looks quite tidy..

 

[d4ve]

wonder how many mk3s have been sat in garages

dont really see threads like this

bit scary with the breaking thread in car chat though lol

 

[rick gsi]

just keeping my options open atm as i havent had a good look underneath it yet lol being a vauxhall it could be rotten.

 

[patrikbrunt]

If you end up breaking the car, i'd be interested in bumpers, grille, bonnet, tailgate... ;-)

Nice project mate, your black ph2 was at one of our N Wales meets about 18 months ago, then it turned up on eBay

Yea I sold it to a lad in wrexham then he sold it and someone near my work had it when it was on ebay was very tempted to buy it back but had no mot and had been parked up for a while,
Was up for silly money iirc
