heres a pic of the turbo project .JPG) still got to get some of the parts though got a nice front bumper, havent decided what to do with the rear yet .JPG) also got the engine from a 820 turbo vitesse, sherper lt77 box and mgb back axle, nice seats from the 820 also just got to sort out the engine mounts, need some from a 1.7 or 2.0 marina and things will start taking shape |

No offence intended and I'm happy to be proved wrong,but I don't think that bumper will do it any favours. Might be worth a photoshop session to see how it looks maybe?

Agree with daverapid, purleez don't but that monstrosity on the front of that car. Find a nice skip to put it in. Surely the sleeper look is what's needed here? A saxo/106/corsa killer in the making? Good luck with that front suspension tho. Sorry if I sound opinionated. But I am.

I'm not 100% i like it either but the shells a rough one, i cant bring my self to cut up a minter and the front valence is non existent with metro indicator/side lamp units bodged in! the valence is not avalible as a repair panel any more, ive seen one on ebay went for 60 quid without p&p. looks like I'm fabricating one |

I'm sure there will be less work and more satisfaction in doing that than getting that eyesore to fit. OOPS there I go again being diplomatic.
