Okay guys as sum of you mite know. I'm busy with a GSI Boss project.

Current Motor & Mods:
2Ltr 8valve
Ported Head
40 Sides
280 cam
Vernier Pulley
(i took the injection off cuz of it giving me hassels)

Future Plans on Motor:
Balanced internals
304 Cam
Solid Lifters (engineering in progress)
Opel 16v Pistons.
Head and Intake Gas flowed
Branch 4 into 1

Body and Interior on the car wasn't real nice. But the project is in full storm now. 2day we finished the bad boy bonnet. Fitted a Bea sting antenna and started working on the rust. I also got a single wiper conversion.

Ive attached a few pics. Let me know what u guys think. Twisted Evil

is very nice thumbs up
question : whered you get that bumper, it doesnt look like a standard gsi one...?
the single wiper conversion, i still think you should find the mechanism off a merc and use it instead, ive seen it done a couple of golfs and it looks veeeryyyyyy nice
