We met up with Rich last weekend and while he was having curry with Niek I stole these from his personal GM warehouse:

Good thing to steal.
He replenished my stock with more better items :)
Not been on here for a while, main reason is that my dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer and metastasis beginning of last year. Despite two different chemo therapies in two different hospitals he didn't win his battle. He passed away January 9th way way to young at the age of 66. So this ones for you dad, RIP!!
Picked up the GSi this Saturday morning as the weather forecast was pretty good.
On my way to the lock up:

Sorry to hear about your dad Jeffery. *big hugs*
Thanks Benn!
Sad news mate sorry to here it
Sorry to hear that Jeffrey
Sorry to hear about your dad,
Thoughts are with you and your family.
Sad news regarding your father, best wishes to you and your family.
I'm always thinking as I get older myself about my parents health, but I suppose I shouldn't and it's a way of life. Keep strong though and make a Nova in his memory... sad I know but holding on to something you could remember your dad by can only help :)

Door is 98%, some small spots but it'll hold for some more years. I'm refusing to use one of my other doors at the moment.
How I got it:

How it is now, rub strip removed and clay barred:

Will be removing the rub strip residue tomorrow. Glass and rubbers will also be removed, I'll clay it again and give it a good buff and then some wax. Fit a new GSi logo and then I'll swap it over next week.
What's the best approach for drilling the hole for the electric window/central locking wiring loom?
Also got these for € 1,00 each bargain!!

Deeply sad to hear that news about your father - Your updates are inspirational to others.
What are these gaskets for Sir Jeffrey? Valve cover perhaps?Quote:

Didn't know you could get rubber rocker cover gaskets!
They fit all 8v engines? Loads better seal than cork ones I would think
Edd i can get them for a fiver...
I think you have to fit a later rocker cover as they have round inserts that go into the seal and stop the cover being tightened down too far.
Think they only fit the later C16SE not the earlier E16SE...
I did think that after posting replyQuote:

I'm sure there is a rubber coated cork gasket that is a later part number but I have no idea what it is
The rubberised one again is used for the later rocker cover. I was told by a technician where I used to work to fit the gasket with grease. I did it and it has been on over 3 years with no signs of a leak so far.
So....
Started on the RH door yesterday evening (poor quality smartphone pics):

I'm sourcing B pillar vinyls at the moment...
Nice work Jeff, been getting your hands dirty
Did the door pins come out easy?
I've got my drivers door to remove
Yeah! There were very easy to remove. But these are the later longer type door pins. And I had access to the right tools to drive them out.Quote:
