          Very nice looking estate! This just deserves to be preserved in this pristine condition.

          That plastic trim piece covering the top of the bumper must be extremely rare. Surely the first one I've ever seen. I'm slightly jealous

            Yep they are rare on LXI and SXI estates only. Look forward to more updates on this as it's stunning

                      the alarm looks after-market to me. not sure who actually manufactured the vauxhall alarms but they had square siren, vauxhall branding on it. i had the remnants of a system in my gte, sensors inthe A pillars, weird switch tucked in the dash

                            Good to read your updates and see you're slowly working through the list of just jobs you wanted to get done on the car too. Well done.
