it'll pretty much look the same from the outside except the brakes, GSi door decals and i'll probably leave the tints off
Knock sensor is usually positioned between cylinder 2 & 3

where'd you get the pillars? was thinking of getting a set made but not too fussed about pillars. you like them or just doing it for originality? might sell the vinyl actually, its the one with the vauxhall badge on the right though
Got them from Duick on here, think there is more if you want them. Both really, originality and i like them. Are they not genuine then?
yeah its GM, still in GM box etc, not sure why there's two types though!Quote:

Looks outstanding man! Any luck finding green tinted windows? Been looking aswell, but no luck!
Looking mint big chap. I will need to pop down for a look. I dont see i vin plate on the slam pannel tho lol :D
yeah, try heated windscreens.com, very cheap compared to autoglass etc, they wanted a grand for the full hit! i don't know if these windows are of poorer quality than the stock stuff though! :thumb:Quote:

Cant be much longer now anyway?
i could have it on the road for the end of the month but i'm waiting on the guy who did all the panel work to come down and adjust all the panel gaps, build up the doors (so the windows actually go up and down themselves without assistance!) and wax the insides of the doors, quarters and cills etc. still, it'll be ready for pv anyway!
for f##k sake is comrie coachworks advertising reebok classics in your pictures? f##kin chav ha ha!!
not much has been happening but when touching up the ream beam i notice a couple of bubbles under the hammerite (of only about 1.5yrs ago!) so and could see surface rust up the inside so decided fack it and rip it all out for shot blast and powder-coat (which i wanted to do to begin with but didn't bother!).
i cut the bottom plate out to allow access for the shot blaster as this was the easiest place to re-weld plates back on and also thought it be an idea to add some extra plates for strength, just to be safe! kind of forgot about pictures but here are some poor one from my phone. its now away to be re-shot blasted and then coated, should have it back next week some time and will get pics then :doh:

here you can see the "access cuts" this was needed to allow all the rust to be blasted away!
