I see u've noticed trem, well the strip on the front drivers door was lifting like the most of them do, its just that i removed it and it happend to be it was a good day so i cleaned the car and took them pics... All the strips are off now because i noticed that the phase 2 models dont have them, i think its a nice wee touch
As for the exhaust, the joint from the backbox was rotted slightly and with the car being low going up a country lane we parted company
(also the hideous looking red hubs are now satin black

)
Cheers 4 the comment trem

Cut springs?
Screwed out pump?
HAd a few dturbos myself, and a 406 coupe, and now a bora... but i think i want to back to pugs for some cheap motoring. Always wanted a black 406 phase1 dturbo and get her running at 130-140bhp. I found the 406 coupe i had far more comfortable than the 306's and the coupe has a similar interior to the saloons.... i think it may be the way to go.
Well, either a 406 or a 405.
