Sjdickso

Don't feel bad about your Van I am sure with some time and a bit of funds it will be back to its former glory!

5M1THY

I dunno I wasn't fussed it's not there fault and they spoke to me anytime I emailed them and I want to order a bumper from them soon 🙂

bit of weight saving today.. I took the 15mm thick mdf floor out and just carpeted over the van floor and just kept the mdf box that fills the rear seat recess I'm just making it all nice and ill put a finished pic up..

5M1THY

All finished 🙂 it's not really noticeable by driving but if I measured correct it's 4mm higher so ill wind it down when I can..
I need a new carpet too lol

Does anyone know of an astra dash loom for sale?
I've got one coming at sometime but the guy works a lot so i dont know when..
if I find one before I'll keep the other as a spare.

yeah I saw that but I've seen them about for a lot cheaper when I wasn't looking lol
I'll get that as a last resort it's been there for 6 months so must have a supply of them.

Well I've just had an email from torque motors and I've just paid for a genuine replacement wheel for my cracked one 🙂 it's cheaper than the fleabay ones too.

ad will sort you out 🙂 ive had lots of stuff from him now

Yeah sound bunch I've got a brand new gm wiper motor coming too he's going to tell me when they get a perfect mfd then ill have that too

5M1THY

I just changed my door pins and the clicking sound has gone 🙂 had to use a pair of pliers and a hammer to get them out but they weren't that bad just the bottom one annoyed the hell out of me while I was driving lol
old and new in the picture.. I had to buy a pack of 5 so I've done the passenger side for the sake of it.

5M1THY

my wheel came too 🙂 it's got a nearly new Michelin tyre but it a 225/40 so guaranteed to rub lol still I'm happy with the wheel it's not perfect but it's also not cracked so I've got a good set of wheels for the first time since I've had the van lol

5M1THY

productive week 🙂 my new wiper motor was fitted while I waited for the missus to get home.. genuine of course 🙂 ill fix the old one at the weekend and it can stay in the box as a spare.
I was pleases to see absolutely no rust too this shell is much better than I thought but I'm still unsure lol

How much was the motor bud

I got it from torque motors for £30 when I got the wheel I'm not exactly sure how much they are from vauxhall but there on ebay for a tenner

5M1THY

I've just ordered another mfd so I can actually read it from now on lol and a new headlight switch as my interior light randomly comes on when I'm driving lol plus I've got steering wheel control adapter I hate buttons not working lol.
hopefully I'll be getting another engine soon I want to start collecting bits to build a forged engine.
I've been thinking a lot and I'd be happy with around 270 - 280bhp but forged and reliable to use daily but ill be buying the parts in stages then build it in one hit 🙂

would be best to do it all in one go. there's a few been done and to be mapped soon so Courtenay will have base maps to suit. so nice to drive with a charger on. 🙂
