Bit more of an update. Decided to tackle the repair on my GTE rear bumper.
It was cracked in the corner as shown

Started off by washing it down and getting it cleaned up, then cut some repair mesh to shape for underneath and fibre glassed it in place

and sanded roughly to shape

then filled and sanded again

followed by a coat of primer to see how the finish was

Happy with that I gave the whole bumper a coat of Upol Plastic Adhesion Promoter

Then some perfection plastic texture on the repaired area

And finally a good coat of satin black

Well pleased with the final outcome

Also knocked up some carbon fibre mirror base plates

All in all a good days work there chap!
very impressive repair on the bumper
Cheers guys :)
Nice work on the bumper!
Cheers Adam, been putting it off for ages!! lol
Just bought a big ally sheet as I think i'm going to do a similar thing to Burgo (Thanks for the heads up on where to get it from! Need to spread some Rep before I can give generously again!!)
Also waiting on a quote for some tyres too. Was thinking of going with yoko A048's but can't stretch to the price of them so think i'm going to go with R888's.
Received a package from novarally (Thanks Colin:) ) Which was a gear linkage clamp, fuel neck breather and rad top hose. So got on with some jobs...
Dropped the fuel tank out to get the breather hose fitted

And fastened back in for good with some fresh braided fuel line as what was there was quite badly frayed

While the back end was up in the air I got my freshly painted rear anti roll bar in

And also Stud to Nut conversion on rear too

Next up I decided to get the cooling system all piped up which is done now, and got the slam pannel bolted in. Also got rid of a bit more excess metal and had a play with the hole saw, which blunted very quickly despite loads of WD40! (only a cheap crappy one!)

Then turned my attention to my oil cooler. Had 2 standard astra ones, one of which was binned as it was in rubbish condition. The pipes I wanted to use had banjo joints to the sandwich plate, but only had a short amount of rubber hose then the rest metal. Problem was this was too long so have decided to not run a cooler until some time in the future when I can afford one as I'd have to have pipes made up etc. So just fitted an oil filter!
Fitted my Dizzy

Fitted brand new headlights and clear indicators, and my grille

Then trial fitted front bumper to work out how to fasten the sides. Decided to use a riv-nut in the wing. Just need to get some M6 Button head bolts.

Was not very impressed with how the bumper fitted on the sides, was shocking! lol
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...a/IMG_0392.jpg
Otherside slightly better

So took mr grinder to the wings!! then finished with some rubber edging

Next up I got the rear bumper fitted with quick release pins too

Anyone know how to secure the bottoms of the mk1 headlights? Are there some kind of clips?? As mine just keep springing up from the bottom!!
Aye theres 2 wee while clips that I'm sure you can buy from Vauxhall that secure onto the front panel :)
Mk2 Nova's have 1 clip and Mk1's have 2 clips
I'll try and get a pic
