Yes :(
Good stuff, glad to hear it started up ok. :thumb:
Made a start on the inside today as its pissing down too much to do the exhaust :(
Dash in, along with centre console etc. Cheers to Colin Smith for the fog switch,ashtray,fusebox cover,column surrounds :D
Cally turbo white gauges also fitted, hardly a perfect fit, but there in there, so thats how they are staying. :thumb:

Rev counter doesnt work at all, so i assume its shagged. Cheers to the CS user i bought that off :roll:
Then drilled the holes in the floor for the harness eye bolts

Using the worlds longest drill bit lol lol

Just got to get the buckets out the loft and chuck them in!
Obviously all this is going to come out again when i get round to fitting the cage lol
Also need some more engine bits, sump gasket is really pi**ing oil out. Big puddle after running the engine for 5mins :cry:
And the long shaft diff seal on the box is also leaking :cry:
Pv is getting closer and closer!! :(
Astra also failed mot today :mad:
that drill bit is ridiculous lol. what did the astra fail on?
The bit was the right width, just stupidly long lol
Did the job though. :cool:
Failed on headlamp insecure/aim wrong, indicator lense incompletely(loose), track rod balljoint, OS rear shocker severely leaking fluid.
Not bad really, but the track rod is seized solid, hence why i didnt change it when doing the wishbone a few month back lol
Can sort headlamp etc with a scrappy replacement, same for indicator.
Rear shock i'll buy a new one. Had a look at the old and it aint leaking at all IMO :wtf: , its damp but is been raining for about the last month so that aint suprising, but "SEVERELY leaking" is a piss take imo. But oh well.
Seen a mega cheap corsa 1.2i for sale though, with 6month tax and test, so im tempted buy that.... Cheaper insurance and tax.
The astras tax is due this month too, so got to decide where to spend the money.....
my astra failed on the head light and it was the little white plastic bit that joins the adjuster to the headlight had broken.
Good news on the engine tho and fit a 2ltr 8v gasked as its rubber and much better but remember to fit shorter bolts or a rew washers and dont over tighten them.
Aye, its just a ball ache having to drop the exhaust manifold etc back off again!!!! :(
Getting there though. Good lad.
I couldnt look at those Cally gauges though, look so awkward in the head unit gap.
Not ideal aye mate, but they are there for a purpose :)
its just shonky leaving it like that... very shocked tbh.
i'm all for 'built for purpose' and all that, or 'function over form', but it just looks atrosious and means you have zero worksmanship levels.
wouldn't take much to get them looking nice tbh.
