I'm completely stripping the under neath of the cally and under sealing it, then pollybushing and painting everything. Also having my alloys re-fubished/ powder coated.

Making a double din centre console for the Astra coupe and putting a sound system in.

I've just done a full ice install on my Type-R which will see me through the winter

I'm currently looking for a 911 Turbo or a Ferrari 355

Plan to take it off the road and replace all suspension bushes in the rear and replace bearings and hubs at the front ready for mot in feb.
Hopefully will get the Vectra VXR so i can do the above without rushing it to get it back on the road as its my everyday car at the moment.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie with nae teeth

Up the Hibs!!

Now with added Vectra VXR power

Now calibraless

I have a Vectra SRI and i know its not the same but i have had to change the 4 springs. At the first MOT i got an advisory for slight play in the front wheel bearings, i changed them 2 weeks before the 2nd MOT and i got an advisory for slight play in the front wheel bearings :( When i put her in this year ( I think you know what's coming ) i got an advisory for slight play in the front wheel bearings.
It may be worth giving them a look over mate. Oh and the cd player is s**t, you could go over a fag paper and the cd will skip.

Redo the other wheel arch. Did one with a 3 stage treatment from america last year, and one without for comparison. The treatment side has held up fine, while the other has not. It seems grinding both sides of the arch, etch, clean and epoxy seal can stop the rot.

12" Alpine Type R sub in the back now that the alternator is upgraded.
