ok. ive decided to bring in some help with my car. a old vauxhall mechanic. my dad. mechanic and a highly trained welder. so ill keep this post updated with info.

1st job is the welding. it needs doing soon because its rotting like hell now. the engine bay needs livening up, then it needs some welding on the slam panel.

mk2 dash will be going in. the mk1 doesnt look to good nowerdays. some sr seats and the interior will be colour coded sr blue. it will be cept more or less original but it will be 20x better. the rear arches i noticed are in good shape for the cars age aswell. so thats a bonus

last night's progress...

the rear lights what have been re-made to a higher quality.

Loose that redline sticker!!!
Is that a peco bb4 back box?

[Dave.]

dont know its just an exhaust i think its a peco. i have a peco back box for sale. it has a flame tip. i dont like the falmed bit

[Adam]

Lights never going shine through those back clusters!
A set of standard ones would look miles better IMO.

Apart from that, looks alrate Deffo loose the redline sticker.

[Rexy]

If you take the redline sticker off it will lose 10 brake... Becareful.

[Dave.]

Fook me didnt realise it was that nasty! Dont worry mate mine used to look like that, as i said i used old victorian bed frame to replace the struts and some scrap 20 gauge all from the scrap yard + a dad who is a good welder and some under seal and some chemical metel what looks like ?400 odd of welding actually cost me next to nothing and it ended up flying though MOT so it reall isnt the end of the world!

Those rear lights are illegal, no reflector... Go euro :D
