Well here's my list, had a fair few over the years, and I used to like my modding
Austin Maxi (old, old K reg 1972 !) - seats from a toyota celica, front spoiler, rostyle wheels from an MGB-GT, debadged, dechromed, 1750cc engine fitted with twin SU carburettors.
Ford Cortina Mk3 XL(P reg 1976) - standard 1600cc engine, 5 spoke wolfrace alloys, corbeau sports seats.
Ford Capri mk2 (R reg 1977) - 2000cc, Weber twin choke carb, K&N sports filter, straight through exhaust (and I mean straight through), single cherry bomb silencer, you could hear it coming from around 1/2 mile away !!, full body kit, Ghia alloys, quick shift spring loaded gearbox, went like the clappers, shame the handling was attrocious !
Austin Metro MG (Y reg 1982) - 1275cc, totally standard, loved that car won 3rd place in the Metro class at the 30th anniversary mini meet
Vauxhall Cavalier SRi (Y reg 1982) -1800cc, fantastic car, well quick back in the day
Vauxhall Cavalier CDi (B reg 1984) -1800cc, very well spec'd car for the time, central locking, electric windows all round, even had headrests in the back when some new cars still didn't have them in the front !! uber quiet due to extensive factory standard sound proofing
Austin Metro L (D reg 1986) - 1275cc engine, rebuilt from a written off shell, resprayed, fitted with metro GTa seats, MG red carpet and seat belts and MG turbo alloys.
Vauxhall Cavalier GLi (G reg 1990) - 2000cc, colour coded alloys, nice quick car.
Ford Fiesta XR2i (G reg 1990) - 1600cc, now this was my real baby, went to town on this, fitted escort cosworth style front bumper with original cosworth lights, mondeo estate rear spoiler, 15" 5 spoke alloys, recaro front seats and rear headrests, escort cosworth front discs and calipers. Full engine rebuild with pipercross air filter, ashley 4 branch exhaust manifold, custome made stainless exhaust. 1600w stereo system (2 x800w amps), 2 x 10" subs in the boot, 2 x 6"x9" three ways in the rear shelf, 2 x 6" woofers, 2 x 4" mids and 2x 1" tweeters in the front coupled to a pioneers headset with 6 disc autochanger.
Here's the fiesta back in the day, still had the same user name way back then !!
Ford Mondeo Ghia V6 (N reg 1996) - 2500cc, fanstastic fully loaded car with every factory extra except leather trim, done more miles than the starship enterprise when i sold it, and still almost silent when cruising on the motorway.
BMW 1 Series 118d (54 reg, 2004) - 2000cc TDi, company car, best car I ever had by a mile, comfortable cruising on the motorway, but get it on the country lanes and it handled like a go kart !!
Honda Civic Sport (02 reg 2002) - 1600cc, 3 door sporty looking car, high spec with half leather, climate control etc. as standard
Honda Civic Sport (53 reg 2003) - 1600cc, exactly the same spec as the last one, different colour and lower mileage !
Volkswagon Passat S (06 reg 2006) - 1900cc, Company car was OK, loads of space, comfortable but handled like a bus.
Ford Focus Style (57 reg, 2007) - 1600cc TDCi, company car, comfortable not the quickesst but handles superbly.
And that's me upto date
