That looks nice. What motor is that running?
I ain't been rude or anything but how come it has not rusted away like all the other Monties/Maestros that used to haunt the roads?

I bought some some new brake calipers for the Gooon as it was feeling left out with the Mini getting all the attention

Fair play. Another forgotten stupidly quick car. Theres a kid in cheltenham with one of these, but its debadged and looks like a fairly standard Maestro, but under the bonnet lurks a 2.0Turbo that kiks 250bhp lol Its even got the steelies with wheel trims lol
Looks nice though.

One of the reason's the Brown Bomb has been neglected is due to playing with the Gooon for the past couple of months.
New brakes, more power, new livery and some fun time on track. Hope you enjoy the pics
Getting setup
At 17psi the results are below
