hey all, ive done a photochop of my intentions for a 1200 wagon i'll be picking up shortly. The "before" pic is in my avatar...as it sits right now.

ive not put mirrors on it, but it will be getting iron cross peep mirrors(google them if you dont know what i mean)

engine will be an l16/l18/l20b hybrid basicly the same specs as my old 1600 had.

paint will be satin black, not matt black as the pic, but otherwise just like what you see here...

what do you think?

is/was this the blue one thats been around with the golf gti front lip?

man! that looks awesome! it's got an old 'rodder' feel to it i'll give you that!

I did a 1000 rat wagon not too long ago. But sold it before i did anything to the engine. Kue1000 bought it off me and has dropped a A15/5spd in it! Ment to be back on the road soon!

Hi Beattie
What are the steel wheels off on the 1000?
Thanks Matt

They are off a corrola of some description i beleive. They had Toyota caps on em anyway. Pretty ####(positive) offset too. made 185/60s rub on the back on the inside They where 13s

just out of interest wwhat are the specs on your L-series engine? what gearbox and diff are you planning on running?

looks sh*thouse im my opinion, spare this vb110 please. Find an american car or something and 'rat' that instead

Only good thing about that photo is that its a vb110 and the lip

yeah the original pic was a blue wagon with "street fin" 13x7's or something like that.

nothing i plan on doing to the shell isnt reversible, all im doing is lowering it, painting it. putting white walls on, re doing the inside in red vinyl, painting the rims red and fitting the steel grill and cat eye light covers. i fail to see how id be ruining it.

also the actual car im doing it to is a plain old run of the mill 1200 wagon


cheers
Jason
