Hope you manage to find some inner wings :)
Jeffrey there was an inner wing on ebay uk last week, did you have a bid?
Hi John,
Could only find a chassis leg on ebay.
Thanks by the way...
Washed the car today. Spotted some condensation inside the right headlamp. Need to fit new bulbs this week, will try to sort it. Plan is to fit new bulb, remove the sidelamp socket / sidelamp bulb holder and turn on the headlamp so the heat and moisture can come out via the sidelamp socket.
Nice new bits mate. Hope you get the rust sorted. Good luck sourcing new inner wings. :thumb:
Cheers guys!
Washed the car today. This is how it stands at the moment, need to change all fuel lines this week.

Also fitted the new rear clusters today:

And cleaned the alloys and changed the wheel bolts for new genuine GM ones. Now I can clean the original ones and swap them back later on.

Not bad for a 20 year old alloy wheel me thinks!
Not much really... bought this just in case I might need it in the future:

This worked! All the fog is out now, mainly due to the fact that I remove the sidelamp socket and just let it dry in the sun, the weather here is perfect now, yesterday we had up to 31,5 C in the afternoon! Bring on the BBQ!!Quote:

I'm awaiting some more NLS/NOS parts, ordered them beginning of March but they haven't been sent out for some reason...
Glad you got the decal OK and at a reasonable price.
Nice parts mate, would take one of the mk1bonnet but I not going billing
Picked it up myself, as you know was a bit of a hassle to get the price down, the guy knew what he had and what it was worth. He even asked me how long I've been searching for one... ;)Quote:

Stu picked up this GSi rear bumper for me a few months ago:

On closer inspection two of the clips on one side were knackered:

Exhaust cut out was wider then original:

So when a new GSi rear bumper in primer came up for sale I negotiated a fair price and picked it up yesterday:

Lol! Not taking the GSi, it's not show worthy at the moment. Next year! We're now coming over in the Superb.Quote:

Only if I can buy it back for 20 quid fully restored...
sorry my going rate for fully restored nova gsi's is £25
all these new parts look great but no progress on the build?
bazil going to get his silver gsi done before you
Can't afford that matey... lol
Car is in storage since beginning of June. Not planning on starting before this winter. Collecting parts at the moment, plan is to rebuild front end and engine over winter underside next spring and sort bodywork next winter. In the meantime I take the car out for a spin now and then.
So.......
Bit of an update. Took the glass, runners, window mech off the 'new' doors...
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...1/07950cd1.jpg
Little mechanic!
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...1/31a5238b.jpg
All done!
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...1/acf43259.jpg
Ordered a set of new inner wings and front left Mk2 wing from Greece. Should be arriving next week. Also ordered a GSi RH chassis leg (thanks Bazil), support braces left and right that go on the outside of the inner wings underneath the front wing and the strut top reinforcement plates, all new and original GM.
Cheers!
Glad you found some inner wings mate
Looking good mate, well done getting them doors !
Iain
Nice one sorting inner wings :)
That chap in greece still doing parts then? Has he lowered his prices ? lol
Cheers guys! Only thing I need to know now if whether these doors are Mk2 or not, see Mechanical section...
@ Edd, my supplier ordered them in Greece. I just pay him to seek the parts I need. Paid € 300,00 for a full set of inner wings, not to bad if you ask me.
Won this last night for only € 6,50 and picked up it up today, brand new Valeo headlamp in original box....
