Steve, can I ask where you can lease an Astra for that much with that mileage?

I've got car allowance and just buy older cheap cars (Currently Astra CDTi SRi).

Downside is that our place pay lower per mile on fuel if you have car allowance but I can claim tax back on the...

Good to hear from you dude. Glad all is well!

Brilliant!

Don't forget the pics Benn!

I was on the phone to my Dad yesterday and someone chucked an egg at their front window while we were talking lol

Mid mounted CDTi 150 ;)

Yea I like them, not sure what it's going to look like in reality though once I get tyres on etc. Plan is to do them black with a silver rim but not sure yet. Might just keep them silver for now. ...

I'd love to do this.

Currently have an Astra and Zafira with said engine and have had others in the past so know what they're capable of.

There was a Corsa in TV a few months ago that'd had...

Knocked up a patch before leaving for the day:

Still not got a joggling tool. Need to order one.

Welcome back.

If you get the Tapatalk app and access the forum that way from your phone it is very easy to upload pics :)

Yea sounds interesting. Followed :)

Cheers mate, lots to do but it should be a nice solid, straight and clean car when done :)

My MIG keeps jamming. All I managed to do today was fit the inner arch repair panel. I hoped I would have had the outer one welded on too:

I like the look, might give it a go.

Would you be able to peel off the Plasti Dip like you see on the videos?

Let me know Scott

Yea that was pretty much what I was thinking, I'll have a Google about first and see if I can find anything.

Any ideas what belt I can use?

Yea it was good to get some time in the unit! Not been there for weeks apart from to check on it. I've ordered the panels now so I can get cracking no it. There was still quite a lot of coolant...

Yea I also like. Good work.

Did you use the aerosol Plast Dip? I'm wondering whether to use it for the bumpers on mine, I guess you went for matte black?

Spent a bit of time on the car today. Not touched it for weeks.

First thing was to have a look at the arches so I know what panels to order. Started on the drivers side:
