its the same grill that i done back in 1997

the vectra v cut out and modded to fit the standard grill...

I know its time to change it but i dont want to for pure sentimental value... that was my very first mod on a car...

Top result on finding her again.

And apart from the V grille and silver mesh (not my cup of tea i'm afraid), in my opinion she is simply lovely.

Thanks for sharing Craig.

CITY - Engine rebuild cost me about £1000 all in. thats block skimming and bored, head rebuilt and skimmed along with a port and polish. ground crank, ligtened and balanced crank and flywheel, rings, gaskets and seals. Along with the normal service stuff like belts, pulleys, tensioners and pumps.

Pistons are not new thou.. Price on these were over £500 and cos mine were ok there was no need to renew them.

X60RSA - yes - been seam welded... My welding aint the best but its been done.
