thought i would update this seen as i havnt been on here in ages.
summer of last year the car began overheating really badly so i decided to take it off the road and start repairing it.
first thing to do was the water pump,but it had stuck itself into the block pretty well......nothing a hammer coudnt sort out though
and eventually it came out
after that i started to strip everything down and tidy it up a bit
painted the rocker cover and powerbox
then made one of these to get rid of the SAI
soon had the engine bay looking like this
then the bumper and arches came off so i could underseel everything and change brakes and bushes
went about making my own set of depos, fair play to vauxhall, whatever they stuck the headlights together with did not want to come apart
gave the wheels a little polish
and eventually she ended up back on the road
then like any good car a month later the headgasket blew....oh the joys
so i took the head off and found out here was a lovely hole on the head
so i got myself a new one of these
eventually got it all rebuilt
now hopefully nothing else will go wrong
got a janspeed 4-2-1 and a bracket to take my aircon off coming aswell so hopefully more updates soon
thanks for looking
