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.

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
