Got everything pretty much sorted today, and went for a quick test drive round the block. Jesus wept :eek: Gave it a bit of throttle in 2nd and pretty much hit straight into the limiter doing about 60 lol. Thats what getting used to driving a diesel astra for 3month does to you lol
Put a HUGE smile on my face, it rattles, its loud as f**k, the suspension breaks your back, the steering is heavy as hell, the brakes put you through the windscreen, but its f**king ace!!! :D
So far, NOTHING is leaking now, which is all good. Booking a mot and sorting insurance asap.
Few kind of finished pics:

Oh and for anyone wondering 6spoke Astra 15s DONT fit over 288 brakes.
And the SRI airbox doesnt fit in the engine bay with a xe in there! lol
Maybe if you fitted it with the wing off and before putting the engine in, it may squeeze in, but i currently have no filter fitted...
Also got a full set of dealersport mudflaps to go on :)
Got a few bits on the exterior to do, bumpers need some gel on to get them dark again, need a red tape stripe on the front and sides, and i need the Mo's on!!!!
That is all.
Glad to hear you like it mate! Now go have some fun on track :)
