electric rear windows
vectra door handles
SRI side skirts
GSI front bumper/skirt (which i now have)
omega bonnet struts
boot build for subs an amp
tint back windows
vectra armrest(like turbodans)

lowered
GSI door cards, and got rid of they rear speaker pods,
new rear exhaust
vectra steering wheel

heres some pics




not wired up

[loopylees69]

and the way it looks these days


the rear seats are in the loft

carpet up to check the floor pan for bit that might need welding,buts its the inner wheel arches that needs it

its been of the road since feb due to getting a corsa c as its cheaper on fuel up and down to work and cheaper fro the wife to drive once she passes her test
but got plans for the cavy,
new rear drums,
front wishbones
front discs and pads
track rod ends
and a few other things
and
new paint
but dont know whither to keep GSI front bumper as ive got full SRI kit for it

[iangsi]

Looked good when it was on the road a lot can change in 2 1/2 years, are you staying with the same colour ?

[loopylees69]

cheers bud, iv had a few folk say they love the colour

it was only taken off the road in feb this year

dont know what to do about the colour, thinking a nice blue or green as it was green to begin with hehe

[loopylees69]

well acouple of things done on the cavy the day

got the front wings off to see if any welding needs done in the arches, and need some done in drivers wheel arch and underneath at the jacking point

got both front struts off to get the wheel bearings done and going to replace the hubs aswell as 1 was damaged last time due to using a chisel to get the it off, so just going to replace both, and get the strut top bearings changed aswell

still need to think about getting new rear drums,
