Ok guys and gals...

mine is styling-wise...clear rear light clusters as I think they will look fooking lovely with the colour of my next car (light mettalic blue/Vx lazer blue i think it is)

Once my engine is finished, and paid for

I'm going to buy/do

TAS Engine mounts
Silicone hose's
Replace all brake pipe
replace all fuel pipe
Bailey Headder tank
Lowered front tie bar brackets
Get Dash flocked

And that should see my baby finished!

Then plans for the future could be:

Get seats re-trimmed again in real leather/alcantara
Fearless cage
Avo coilovers with top mounts
Astra GSI Headlamp washers

Ahhhh i wish i had money!

Sell it :roll:

Seriously. I'm not sure. I'm still in the process of the rebuild. I suppose whats left to do is:

1) Get the rest of the plumbing/wiring done
2) Start the engine
3) Fit floor plates
4) Fit new brakes
5) Finish off interior
6) Get it MOT'd
7) Give it a dam good clean!
8) Run it in

I've got a few ideas up me sleeve for next year already :oops: :wink: However I really need to sort out some other stuff first (like getting a job)

Been offered a 6 speed dog box with proper LSD and 4.86 cwp for sensible money so might have that.

Going to see out this year/season on the engine I've got but looking into possibly having a 1400 16v built. Unless I can get more power out of My engine without spending big wad's :!:
