That would be kool! But in the afternoon me and the Mrs are going over to Manchester, she has booked an appartment and tickets to go watching dancing on ice live :wtf:, maybe ok i suppose lol.
When i bought the car the lad took me out in it and it seemed to go quite well for what it was, but I've fully rebuilt the engine since and obviously now it has the tube which is meant to make bit of a difference and its running a DTA s40.
Reason why i bought the nova is she wanted another one as her first car was a 1.0 nova which she loved and she always wanted a faster one and i didn't want her to have another rs turbo after the grief with the last one getting stolen and never recovered.
Well the offers there, I'm picking Rich up from Leeds so could detour ;)
Where are you from mate and what time? Would it not be too far out of your way?
Just over the hill near Skipton ;)

Small update, getting there now!

Also all the breaks are finished now was having problems with the rear shoes sticking but these have all been fixed. So I will have some ATE callipers with braided hoses and brand new drilled and grooved discs for sale if anyone is interested.
Finished the exhaust off and that is all bolted up.
Loads of little jobs like cleaned the car and fitted new headlight clips etc.

Does anyone know if there should be some clips that fit to the wings so the grill clips in?
I have now started on the interior, going for black dash and trims and some new seats i have bought, my nan is re-trimming the rear bench in the same colours as the fronts.

Hopefully getting there now, aiming for it to be finished in 4 weeks time maybe just over and hopefully running by then, that's the next big spend having it set up.
Small update but sadly no pics yet. Spend all day Sunday on the car and it was bit of a disaster really just one of them days that really pee you off.
Firstly I made a start on the subframes for the seats these look easy to fit all the holes on the subframes lineup to the holes on the seats.
Next i started fitting the wiring loom. I must have spent about a hour looking for my box of heat shirnk, could i find it anywhere could i eckers so i had to send the Mrs to halfrauds.
Some of the wires on the loom where too small so i had to move the ecu from the original position and drill a 40mm hole through the bulkhead which I wasn't best pleased about so had to do some paint re-touching up but that's al done. Engine is all wired up now.
I finished the throttle body off and fastened all that up, doing so i got my Halfords socket set (one of the big ones) opened it the wrong way, Sockets everywhere couldn't believe it I need to write a big sign on the top of it saying this way up. must be the 100th time I have done that.
Hoping to get the rest of the engine finished at the weekend and the rad plumbed in etc. Still need to finish wiring the relays but there only a 10 minute job so in a couple of weeks time it should be start ready! Then its off to a rolling road to get them to properly map the DTA.
If its what I'm thinking of then yes, there should be a black oblong shaped clip that slots in the little bit of the wing behind the grill.Quote:

They are the ones. Any idea part code for these? Mine seem to be missing and can't find any on ebay. If i go into Vauxhall i already no i will get a look like this :tard: over the counter.
