I don't really know what it's used for tbh haha. I guess fun and weekly meets we often have in Southend etc. Just enjoyed making it really.

Driven for first time today since September.

Yeah, go there quite a bit. Usually as you say it's silly money, so I called first for a quote.
Much cheaper than expected so bit their hands off

60 quid plus 25 odd per wheel for camber adjustment iirc?
When I took my focus there it was 60 quid all in. Was only 5 years ago aswell.

Dropped car off for some body work yesterday, can see issues below
Can see the issues
None if the back was done by Lemass, it was all at a previous bodyshop. Looked great for around 3 years.

Bought a new set of number plates, same on here suggested them. Pressed ones, but mine are a bit old and look tired looking. Car is due to be collected from Lemass on the 24th. The tailgate is being resprayed along with rear bumper. Also wiper jet is being welded over as last bodyshop bodged it. I also bought a nrand new rear door over a year ago, so I'm having that sprayed too! So
Tailgate
Bumper
rear plate
Bit above window
N/a rear door and handle.
Also arches re-aligned as haven't sat properly for years now!
Also bought this for my trip to Nurburgring in July
Should allow me to get some good videos of the car, got a 64gb card too, so should get few hours!
Also bought rear window seal form Vaux while the rear end being painted. £7 bargain!

Picked up new window seal today
It's much bigger, so much be universal and just cut what is needed. It's rigid though, so got to package to get to bodyshop without snapping
Tailgate has now been stripped, and old washer jet welded
New pics

Have done that Ben, didn't notice until after photos haha!
It is Ben, you're correct. Previous update was about door being sprayed this week. Was done by a different bodyshop few years ago, same one that did dodgy boot laquer.
Thanks Jason, I love these most recent pics !

They're from total vauxhall, they agreed to send me some for free (6)
You're the only one that's ever commented on rear door. I always thought was really obvious, and it drove me mad.
They've been compressed LOADS by photobucket. Originals are probably the "crispest" pics I've ever seen

Picked car up from Lemass, after driving there and on drive home went into limp mode, whipped plugs out and two was wet, 1,3 and 4 were perfect colour.
Swapped plugs, and same issue.
After some nosing around the bay I spotted this TPS loose. No idea how this even happened :/
