Hi all

Names Gary and I drive a silver 2001 Vectra 2.2 SRI 150 Estate. Here are a couple of pics of the car. Need to get the engine running nice and smooth and then I can start tackling the bodywork.

Future pland are to get the engine running nice and smooth, sort out the bodywork and then I fancy doing the s/c conversion.

Cheers guys, I am happy with how it looks but need to get the little bodywork issues sorted, bumpers repaired and rust removed otherwise the bodywork will stay the same.

Plenty of good information on here for you to be reading up on 🙂

Cheers matt, I am already looking into the EGR blank and cheater and fitting an oil catch tank. Then I want to clean out my TB to keep it running smootly. Then maybe next year go for the s/c conversion and it looks like there is plenty of info on here regarding all of that

Looks lovely with the body kit and full SRI leather too :cool:

Cheers vocky,

I am really pleased with how it goes. It has a few issues but considering I only paid £150 for it I think it's a bit of a bargain.
