Dash looks much better!
Dash looks loads better, never seen that ht setup before, one thing I never understood is why they decided to spray the entire engine with waxoil..
Z16SE HT set up maybe, certainly looks like one, far better IMO than it was,
Cheers matey! Stu's GSi thread triggered me though, he had them on the silver one.Quote:

Took me at least two hours the get all the rubber out of the unit again.Quote:

Thanks Iain, I've got some more bits left to sort out the rest of the dash...
So... with the Michalak as a second project it's tempting to quit this, sell it on and get rid of all the mk2 parts. But I'm not letting this nippy GSi down so bought some small parts for it. :roll:

So picked up the Speedlines today. Said it before but over here they're rare. Never seen them on a Corsa A or other car. These have been on an Astra Mk4.

Pretty jealous of the gsi tank gauge to be honest,,
That is correct sir! Can't beat storage space! :thumb:Quote:

Took another pic with the new ashtray fitted:

After that the zipper on my shorts catched on the drivers seat bolster.... fcuk fcuk fcuk: :mad::mad::mad:
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0c3dbfe3.jpg
Hope I can get someone to fix it as it's a clean cut... But I have two spare UK GSi passenger seats here just in case... Can't believe I just fcuked up a good GSi seat...
:cry::cry::cry:
Points for lining the heater knobs up.
Buy cheap shorts. No rivets or zips on the back...
I really did that before taking the pic... lolQuote:
