Don't have many belongings. Just computer and tools really. Most things will stay here with my dad until I can get them down.
I'll be filling the zaf up with as much as possible. Once down there I'll sell it off fly up and drive the linea rossa down.
Most of the other cars will be sold off. some will be kept for parts.

Its a move for the better in every respect.

That makes them ultra rare and worth 10s of thousands.

 

[evocarlos]

[Dave Gilbert]

I ment engines hahhaa

 

[guy 27]

Got the Sri I've been rebuilding engine on started yesterday.
Did some work on a friend's 2.2 today and also moved my old Sri today.

Now have 5 running 2.2s. Old Astra engine will be going into Linea Rossa. Doing bottom end bearings when it's out later this week.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

[Dave Gilbert]

No abit backwarss like its owner.

My minis gonna be abit backwards in a minute, if anyone ever says its a good idea to restore it yourself..... tell them there full of s**t hahahah. I cant even get the door to fit correctly now dam it.

 

[milo]

My dad finishing off his first classic restore. A rover p6 v8 took him 4 yrs to get this far.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Hahaha its taken me 10 years to get to this
and this looks loads better in the pic than it is hahah. That door really doesnt fit honest.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Iv been thinking cos of milo(supercharging, its not fair)

Anyway

Vectra c 2.0 turbo could a 2.0 turbo be built into a z22se turbo mashup and the car recognise it? Because the standard ecu allready knows about the turbo etc so its just a case of mapping int it? I didnt want to start a full thread about it but I will if anyone thinks its possible(without being silly money either cos anythings possible if you throw enough money at it)

 

[milo]

When it comes to importing goods from across the pound. How do I get informed of the import charges I got to bay??

 

[Dave Gilbert]

if customs get hold of it, i think they hold it and send you a letter and an amount. it happened to my mate with an exhaust for his bike, i think the exhaust was £250 then they wanted like £100 import tax(i think anyway, it was alot)
