Took a half day off work today since it was decent weather. Finished up the last few little jobs that I would struggle to do in the garage due to lack of space. Washed the car down, hoovered inside and cleaned all the glass.
Took it for a wee test drive (just up the street and back), brakes needed bleeding slightly, then got some almost finished pics.

The last 2 jobs to do are:
1) Sort out my boot install (will start it this weekend)
2) Finish re-furbing my Cav GSI Alloys, which will need spacers to clear the coilovers.
Once again, thanks very much for all the comments.

Finished up the boot this weekend.
Started by making a timber frame for the side panels.

Then made up some cardboard templates

Transferred the outines onto 18mm MDF along the back of the seats and 4mm Hardboard for the sides.

Carpeted it up and fitted the subs and amp.

Carpeted the arches then fitted it all in.

The side panels are held in place with velcro to so visible fixings are seen. You can still see a little blue behind the hinges, so next time I have nothing to do, going to take the sides back out and carpet behind there.
Cheers for all the comments,
Shaun.
I'm away for a sleep now. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Since last update, I have went round the car touching up (oooeer) any imperfections in the paint, I have fitted a red stripe to the bumpers and the most noticeable is the wheels.
Thanks to Vaughan, they fit a treat, no spacers on the rear and only 3mm on the front. I will probably space out the rears 5mm to increase the track width, still plenty of room under those arches.
I'm chuffed with how it looks.

Which just leaves me to sort the slight blow from the exhaust centre join tomorrow evening. Then it's insurance to sort, MOT to book then get Tax and it's back on the road.

M.O.T. at 10am today. Taking it to my local Vauxhall dealer to see if I get any comments, ha ha.

Cheers Guys,
Well, the car passed with flying colours and generated a lot of interest.
Only down side is, it was pi$$ing with rain on the way home so had to wash it, move it into the garage and then dry it before it made a mess of my floor.
Also, insurance certificate hasn't arrived so can't tax it, hoping it falls through the letter box tomorrow morning.
Cheers again,
Shaun.
