How its getting on

[Kris]

Well i finally got shot of the crap cream interior ,i found 2 SXi's at the scrappy and once i had haggled with the guy i got the intire interior including the dash ,carpet and every bit of plastic for £30 .Ive now fitted it but by the time i was done it was getting dark so the pics aint all that great and it still needs
a good clean ,but none the less im chuffed with my days work .


So may bits so little light http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/K8CEE/IMAGE0002.jpg

You can pick the weather for an engine conversion ,lol.

I thought its about time to update this ,i havent done mass amounts to it due to job changes and cash flow .However i got some GTE bumpers in the same colour and tailgate so i put them on along with the lecy mirrorsto tidy it up a bit as it was looking sorry for itself .Not a great deal to say just a record for myself realy :)

The back arch still needs done but i filled it and primed it a while back to hide it as a temp measure ,but the rust goblin will always come back this way .Ill get them done soon with the rest of the stuff to be done when it gets painted .

Also got these from Ebay ,they are brushed steel and a very good fit to tidy up the heater controls .

Ive got alot to do before i gets painted ,youlook to be handy with your bodywork .A trip to glasgow may be in order ,lol

[Gteman]

Thought i was doing great until i tried to fit the inner arch must have checked the label 4 times now to make sure i've got the right side :confused:
Had 2 bodyworker mates look at it and got some grunts and groans but no serious suggestions.
Glad to help when its sussed tho

Graham

[Kris]

is that on the rear ?.
did you see what happend to the gte wanbe http://www.astra-mk2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1628

[Gteman]

The rear nearside, now discovering the outer arch lip isnt rounded as much as it should be so light at the end of the tunnel.

Sorry to see another mk2 go for scrap but i think that Boyd Coddington would have struggled to repair that one.

It was ,but as the pikeys have been staying near by ive had to put them into hiding .They were looking for my car a while back and now they know were it is ive seen them 4 times in my culdisack and even had to go out and chase them when two of them went right into my drive way and started taking the caps of to see if had lockers .Thankfully they were younger so they took to their toes ,but that was the last straw ,so they are tucked up far away from my house for the moment .

That's a bummer when they come onto your property.

Like those heater knobs, who was the seller?

[Kris]

I cant remember the seller mate ,but they do come up on ebay know and again so ill keep an eye out for ya .

[richie00boy]

Cheers, appreciate it.

EDIT: can't you find the seller from your history in 'My eBay'?

[Kris]
