been a little busy today..

fitted some post97 vauxhall mudflaps on the rear, to get rid of the opel one and wrecked vauxhall one ( just need to get a vauxhall sticker for bootlock and rear will be looking tidy )

went down scrap yard this morning to get a parcel shelf but it was closed (so will sort that tomorrow)

sorted my numberplate light as connections was corroded so cleaned them all up etc and now it works

went to vauxhall and got me a new numberplate light cover..

(shauns car but, just to show)



also went and bought me some new 195/45/16 tyres and got them fitted..

just walked back through the door ..

got me a new numberplate light earlier, to replace the one i fixed yesterday (but it was just correded etc)

also went down the scrap yard and got me a pre97 vauxhall badge for the boot lock (not the best condition) but looks alot better now than the opel one..

also tidied up the boot as had all sub wires etc everywhere from when i picked it up off my mate, so sorted that etc and got a nice omp strut brace on show hehe

mines got a few stone chips on like yours

but cheers for the comment guys

just took it to the immigrants to get it cleaned for tomorrow, well they supposedly cleaned it, got to go over it again myself later haha..

only thing that lets it down is the wheels they need a refurb, 3 are ok just have a few lil scuffs but one is quite bad, but when i had the tyres fitted yesterday at my mates garage he checked it and it wasnt bent at all he said just needs refurbing on the outerface so that was great news

not an update as such..

but the car is coming off the road after tomorrow, when it gets back from having new tie rods and track rods each side and the tracking done..

its overfueling alot, down the faulty injectors i think and the boost valve chucking to much fuel in, so going to test the injectors asap, and if its those i will get them sent off to be ultrasonicly cleaned etc..

once ive got those back, the car is having a full service (oil/filter, plugs. rocker gasket and cambelt etc), then it will be going up to jamsport for a full setup so its running spot on..

will update again once ive made more progress..

while its off the road for a few weeks il be doing some small things on it also..

nothing much while its off the road, getting serviced, clean and paint inner arches like i did with my silver one, paint drums black, sort lil blemishes on trim/bumpers paint lights/handles/boot lock and refurb alloys depends if weather is ok etc, thats about it..

main thing is to get it running spot on..
