Cheers all for the nice comments.. :)
Gary.... I was looking at the mag feature of the silver 4wd mk1 astra turbo the other day and noticed how well the grey flock dash actually looked. If I did do it then it would have to be grey for the stock look etc but to be honest I doubt it'll ever get done as I dont want to put anymore money into it. Maybe next year if Im flush! :)

So glad for you that its now back on the road Nick, looking forward to a catch up with you and the old girl at Billing...
Looks good Nick. Hopefully i will see you tomorrow when i call in at the bodyshop.
Thanks Rick and good to see you again today! :)Quote:

Hi guys, Onto a litte update of whats been happening recently with the car........................
After getting a hundred miles in I dropped the car off for a shakedown with no real complaints apart from a few noisy lifters and a leaking outer cv boot on the n/s. As the lifters had got no better I ordered a new genuine set along with cam seals,rocker gasket and a cv boot kit. With these fitted the engine is as quiet as a mouse and I no longer have cv grease splattered on the inside of my n/s wheel = WIN! Off I went to cover a further 150 mile..............

Until another problem caught my eye...... The battery light had a slight flicker around 4k but as quick as it came on it was gone again. I covered some more miles and the problem then started happening anywhere above 3k so I dropped the car off to get checked out. All the wiring/conections are fine so it seems the alternator is at fault. The only thing is we couldnt source one local until friday so my thinking is by the time its arrived and fitted we'll be well into the afternoon on friday. That coupled to the fact that I still havent had the tracking/wheel alignment sorted as well as a few other minor jobs so Ive made the decision to leave the car at home for this year. Hopefully with all the major work out of the way next year should be fairly simple although who knows as it is a nova let! The aim for this year is to get some good miles on the engine in prep for next year. Lets hope the weather stays good for us all this weekend and all the best to those competing for the honours. If you see me around please come and say hi as its always good to catch up with current members and new faces alike. Until the next update cheers for reading and all the best.

Ah man :(
Dude, gutted not to see it this year. I'll chuck some keys at you Sunday for a lap if you'd like?
A shame you ain't taking the Nova Nick after all the hard work, I'll get to see it next year though now because I'm not off to Billing now.
The drive to billing would have been good to run her in though.
Take it Nick
Thats not a major issue & you can get that sorted before the trip down. :)
