Cheers Kyle mate
Proper pic whore session time, me and Dan went and washed the cars, went for a cruise and got some decent pics for a change instead of the usual phone cam pics he'll be posting up in his thread tomorrow. So here's my lot
Aaaaaaand a video for shits and giggles, dropping it while driving and scraping on the road

I've only recently joined this forum, but have just gone through this from start to finish, and seen everything it's been through
I love the splash dash parts, look real smart
Curious about the Cav sun visors with the lights, do you know what other ones fit, as Cav's are getting rare nowdays, Vectra ones fit? And am I right thinking that the light has a constant voltage and waits for an earth from being opened as does the courtesy light from the door pins?
Anyway, love the car, and glad you didn't let the accident ruin it for you!!

Welcome to the forum mate and cheers for taking the time to go through it all, definitely been through a lot this car haha.
I would assume astra and vectra ones would fit too as they're all around the same shape and size, you could always go to a scrappy and do some swapping around and see what works. The vanity lights are wired up with the central courtesy light so i would assume it works something like that yeah, very simple to get sorted and easy enough to work out once your looking at them.

They're off a citroen xsara if my memories correct
It's a horrible sound ay Joe, makes me laugh though. Wanna make up a skid plate so it throws sparks when scraping
Also, need to get my paintwork sorted before even thinking about any features if i'm gonna be reppin' for the more doors it's gotta be top notch!

Not an update, just posting the pics from the other night so they're in my thread.
Not much been happening other than just chillin' in winter mode. Been collecting a few small bits for the interior. Still trying to figure out a decent way of mounting a sump guard to throw sparks. Keeping an eye out for a mantzel if i can pick one up for a decent price. Hopefully will be making an effort to get more stuff sorted.

Cheers Scott dude, appreciate it
Cheers Nath I'm still not really happy with it at the minute. Just haven't had the funds to do anything about it. Hoping that'll soon change. LET? S'all money and hassle . But no, in all seriousness, I did originally have plans to drop a x18xe1 in to give it a bit more power and a better drive but something came up to kinda make me fuck that idea off for something better possibly in the future . Just figured I may as well get a mantzel for now and tidy up the bay to make it a bit better, instead of dropping the 1.8 in for a year then changing again y'know. But still, who knows if the plans will fall into place .

Cheers Luke Gotta thank Dan for the pics as he was the photographer, definitely some of my favourite more recent pics. First time editing low light photo's too so i didn't do too much to them, they're pretty standard straight from the camera. And yup, if i could invoice them for it i would! They do fuck all else clearing the roads round my area

Some interior bits. Picked up some astra vxr sunvisors with the vanity lights and mirrors for cheap cheap. Undecided if i wanna keep them black or get them trimmed or what. My mate gave me an idea of paint flicking them on one side to match the other accents in the interior which i think would be quite cool. Fitted some white led's anyway. They're slightly shorter than the old one i had, so gonna try make up a new clips to replace the standard ones. It's only 5-10mm anyway.

Mantzel now fitted. Blue plug and loom hidden under inlet. SAI pump removed (will be removing all the other gubbins when i get a exhaust manifold fitted) Bodged up a few things for now. Slightly tidier but still messy bay.
Seems to be missing under load though at around 3k to 5k, feels hesitant/jumpy. Also flashing up code 1405 which is EGR, even though i've got it plugged in still but cable tied up out the way. Bloody cars.
