Hi Guys,

Been lurking on this forum for a little while now so though I would register and introduce myself and my Carlton. Its a 1992 2.0 Gli Auto, bought it back in April from eBay for the pricely sum of £230. It had been sitting on a driveway for 18 months as the elderly guy that owned it previously had passed away, before that he had new discs and pads fitted, new cam belt, plugs and leads and 4 new tyres and a new spare and a full new exhaust system, so all in all was a very good car for the money! Needs a little tidying up, usual dents/scratches for an 18 year old car but other than that in beautiful condition. Just had to replace the windscreen wipers and it flew through the MOT. Plans for it are to get it lowered, nice set of wheels and hopefully at some point colour code a GSi bodykit for it. Here's some pictures. All in all not bad for a first car  Grin

Thanks for the warm welcome and the positive comments guys!  Smiley

Don't suppose you all know of anyone getting rid of a GSi kit do you?

Was quite a way up north from Milton Keynes aswell when your pulling it on a trailer being in Liverpool! Is a really sound car, was expecting worse to be honest but is all good! Cheers for the welcomes  Smiley
