2.0l bare shell rebuild

[kyl3_l]

This is how clean I want mine, and looking at yours gives me the motivation and the will power to get my **** into gear. Obviuosly mine is and always will be a patched up rot box But if I get it looking hlaf as good as this I will be over the moon.

Thanks dan, glad it's giving you the motivation mate, I needed alot of that when I was at your stage if the build. When you finish yours and it's looking awesome you won't think of it as a rot box. By doing what your doing at least you will know it is right and have peace of mind. You will appreciate it alot more aswel, anyone can buy a car, not many people have the skills or patience to do what your doing.

And get some new indicators, will finish it off perfectly and give that factory fresh look.

Both are on the to buy list, but unfortunately I don't have two penny's to rub together at the moment! Still need an alarm and exhaust aswell. Better get saving!

Get them on your christmas wishlist then! I've already bought some new headlights, will wrap them and put them under the tree myself! Thank you Santa!! LOL

Great progress BTW keep it up!

Thought I would try something with these sr sunvisors and some Gsi trim pattern material I had off some old door cards. Cut the old material out neatly to use them as templates the cut the new ones.



Then got my grandma to stick them in with some sort of glue she uses for sewing and stuff.
Never going to be as neat as original but look ok



Wired up and fitted



Brand new grill badge bought off Tahir868





Badge fitted along with the red pin stripe completely transforms a boring front end into a gsi imo











Next on the list is to fit 4 mudflaps I bought from vauxhall



And refurbish these cesaros and save up for some tyres!
