Hope the maiden voyage goes OK Neil, don't drive into any Icebergs!

just waiting for them to melt :lol:

finally finished priming the door and dash panels 🙂

the paint reacted 🙁 so took a bit longer than I expected :roll:

just need to paint and refit them 😃

it's very close to being finished now 8)

vocky

painted the door panels today........europa blue :shock:

vocky

I painted the dash panels metallic grey and refitted them today 🙂

also fitted a MG tf gearknob, I'm not a fan of alloy gearknob's as I had a vectra GSI during the winter and the gearknob frooze my hand everyday 🙁

vocky

apart from getting the offside rear arch painted [it had a couple of minor cracks from a blind driver in a car park :evil: ] and fitting the stereo it's finished 😃

asleep in it's garage 🙂

arch still to be painted :roll:

vocky

bled the last few air bubbles out of the radiator 🙂

Thanx Matt, I am very pleased with the end result 😃

I just need to book it in for the arch to be painted and then I can enjoy it for the summer.........after that I can think about next winter's mods :shock: :lol:

Matt

A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT FROM EVERYONE ON THIS SITE cheers..

it's helped me get through the rebuild 🙂

I am honestly shocked by how short a time it took :shock:

but not quite as shocked as the costs.......parts total = £4000 for the rebuild

that's the official vauxhall **£200 **vx220 car cover :shock:

but that's less than 2% of the value of the car and worth every penny 8)
