Nice! I'm not a big fan of flares on the UC but that looks pretty good. What's that front bumper off?

Nice touch! Not something I would have though of but it seems to work well. Would like to see some more pics from different angles.
I also like that you didn't add the bonnet scoop. To me they just don't look "right" on the UC.
Looks like you also changed the front lower panel. Can we see a front-on shot?

Original lower panel still fitted. One piece plastic spoiler covers all.

Yeh, its not to bad, car needed a bit of work when I got it, original jasmine yellow.
I should say front spoiler is glass, not plastic 
All fairly original interior.

Story with the front bumper is the original UC one was completley stuffed, so I had a good couple of spare LX ones & with a little modification of UC brackets, on it went !!

Looking good as always, Wally. don't be too vague, tell the uc lovers out there some more info/specs/ mods. I particularly love the door poppers

Ahhh k ang, you have talked me onto it.
It's. Mild worked 308, 3 speed tri-hard, electric windows, wireless engine bay (thanks dad). No badges, no door locks, key less entry, as ang has referred to I replaced the door lock poppers with the little blue led's for the alarm, which is fitted with remote start. Quick silver b&m custom mounted into factory center console, hidden 7" Kenwood flip out deck, did have custom sound system box in the rear (see items for sale for pics) but have decided to do something different in the rear, il update soon enough.
These are a few things I can think of off the top of my head, I owe it all to my dad who is an auto elec, I was doing the work but without his support or knowledge the hatch would of never be were it is today. I plan to pull it off the road and rebuild the body, there are some spots of rust showing through after all the respray was about 7yrs ago and was driven as a daily for 5yrs. But I have some other projects to get on the road first.
