Well "X" is finally back, still not finisted so no pictures for a few days yet :( But after 4 months of waiting and popping to the body shop to help do the job..... It's back on my driveway.
The paint is like glass and once waxed and polished will be so deep you'll loose your soul forever. It took all weekend to just get all the dust from the inside and had to wash it 3 times to bet the outside somewhere clean. Still that's done now. The seats are in and I have taken it down the road but on Monday it fail the MOT :( :?: Nothing to worry about but a little welding in the rear arches, nothing on a car this old to give concern - though as my tax ran out on Monday "X" is now sat on the drive with no wheels.
WARNING: One of the things it failed on was the Goodridge hoses :o On full lock they bend in such a way (backwards) and touch the driveshafts, well dodgy. Now I'm only dropped -30mm and have 288mm Vectra V6 discs so you'd think it'd be OK. In order to get it through the MOT I've had to buy 2 NEW! factory flex-hoses at ?45, not happy.
Still it'll all be finished by Thursday night and I'll try and get it re-tested by the weekend.
