Good progress.
Before buying a new matrix, whip the pipes off it, attach a hose pipe to it and let the water pressure do some work. Did this with my old GSi after it got colder and colder, the amount of gunk that came out was shocking and after that, nice and toasty heat!

I do plan on trying to flush it through but it snowed most of the weekend so I'm behind.
Today took all 4 new 14" 3 spokes to the garage and had them put on the wheel balancing machine, all of them are straight with 3 good tyres. £91. Bargain.
Other steering wheel arrived today and its a load of crap so its going back. Chipped, really worn and dirty to boot.
Also bought 2 of these....
I need to make a start fitting all this stuff as I'm beginning to run out of space!
Liking those seats.

Im liking those seats too. I'm not liking having 2 massive boxes in my spare room though, its taken up most of the available space.
Ordered the correct vehicle specific mounts and sliders from Temon Dweeks for £178. Ouch.
Also got a spare-wheel mount bolt and turney-nut thing from ebay for a few quid as my car is missing one.
What eBay seller did you get the vinyl and the Gte decals from mate ? Need some for my Gte.

The stuffs not cheap, but its not bad either. The boot vinyl comes with a GTE sticker, if you want a matching set it could be an idea to ask if he can cut the ones for the doors as well, I should have asked this but didnt know until it arrived.
Also got refunded on that astra gte steering wheel without any complaint from the seller - he must have known he was chancing his arm trying to sell that, it was fooked. He didn't even want it returned so its going in my bin.

Just got a front strut brace on order.
I need to make some inroads into replacing this suspension now - thats the next thing before anything else as I've got sidetracked with lots of other things when I should have been looking at that.
