Whilst browsing through some of my boxes of sh*te in the spare bedroom i came across a computer disc. Look what i found, hundreds of pics of my old Onion. This car was 100% standard when i bought it!!!!

And now those rear lights are standard fit on VW's!! Grin

Looks tidy enough - what are those in the boot?  12's or 10's? Wink

Yes Matt it was a 1600i ghia, was completely standard when i bought it back in 1998, i wish i'd never sold it, should of just dropped a fiesta turbo engine in instead, then maybe i wouldn't of wasted money on other cars just to come back to a Ford.

My second car was an onion too!!! Wasn't very lucky for me though! Fisrt the engine went after a couple of months, so had that rebuilt, then the exhaust fell off, so put a peco system on, then the suspension snapped, so I lowered it, put some 15" Alessio 16 spoke alloys on, and a year later sold it for ?150 cause it was a rottern piece of shit! Got my mondeo after that which I was much happier with!

The 2 onions above still look very cool though!!! Smiley

I used to get a lift to college every day in one of those. Difference with this one though is that it had an 18" P.A speaker on the back seat  Shocked    Loud is not the word.
