The blue is staying as it makes the smoother look. Try a silver handle on them and it makes them stand right out. Which i don't want.
Bit of an update, just small stuff.
These where looking old and a bit tatty...

Bit of hiding and fiddling to get the other end in and finished yet tho.
Refitted my track bumper for Combe, a moment of madness mad me do this...

Wish i hadn't. Might get another, want the center holes to be circles to match the cooler holes.
Also have tried to re seal my sump, as the bloody thing is still leaking. Hope this might have done.
What's the extra buttons on the stalk?
Bumper looks fine, maybe a bit of mesh in it? I reckon you should tart it up and paint it so it still looks pretty on track!
Oh sorry, its for cruise. Not meshing it, if i can get another i will, so all the holes match.
So set about remove the knackered cv today..
Said damage.

This became a *******.

Had to use a crowbar to get it out, as the cv was new the curclip was very strong, so doing that i've damaged the oil seal. Bugger.

Ordered one from Ebay, and will order two at Vauxhall tomoz. As you can see that one was 2nd hand and so is the other side.
Boot off...

Ah, i see what's happened...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/IMG_0359.jpg
Cage gone, bearings gone, grease... All over my frigging engine bay.
Via work i got two more cvs in, one to go on the car the other just to keep as a spare.
Built the shaft back up.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/IMG_0361.jpg
From there i moved to the gearbox mount issues. Boost pipes off, unto bolts mount to car...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/IMG_0363.jpg
Doesn't look to far out... This with with a jack holding the box up, the rear mount lose, with a bar in thru the hub to the gear box (will do it correctly with the shaft when i've replaced the seal)
So measure, remove mount, make template for new mount to be made up.

Extra metal added in to move box back..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/IMG_0364.jpg
Template made,
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n/IMG_0366.jpg
Gonna take this to the guy that does metal fab tomoz, to get him to build me a new mount.
Oh and some flowers i bought the Mrs.. lol

Bad luck on the cv dude, what a mess!
