You'll see it at the Polhill show.

Yeah lol I'll have to try keep my eye open for you.
Are you still going up at 7.

Nice one m8 I hope to see it soon.

I'll see if I can go or not just got to see if I can get some time off.

Where is it?
I'll see if I'm off that day.

No the only ones that are different is the hatch doesn't fit on a saloon which I discovered when I changed mine they are longer so the bumper sticks out a lot more.
Just straighten yours in a vice it's easy.

I got mine off eBay, sportex race tube good bit of kit, if you have a cat it won't make much of a difference in sound but if a precat, buy the decat pipe too and a nice back box and she will sound mint believe me I set car alarms off lol.

Yeah m8 I'm going to it, I work there lol.
I tried to book my car in but I missed the booking but I'm still going.

Well I've been driving her since she's passed nearly everyday and she's putting a smile on my face at every opportunity, I really do love to drive her. Only thing I've had to do since the mot was put her back box back on as it came loose and might need to go over all the bolts on my new parts just t...

Lol cheers yeah she's never moved really since I've got her.

Cavalier passed her mot again today with no advisories. I'm so happy the mot testers couldn't believe how clean she was and said there's nothing wrong with the old girl and she's immaculate. So another year of driving, well when I'm not stripping her that is lol. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...

Well cavs big day is here, she's got her mot at 2:30 today. I really hope she's ok. The only problem I've found with the new front end full of parts is for some reason she's sitting higher than before can't figure out why? Think it might be her new shocks need to settle down abit but she's near stan...

I've also got her back on all wheels today and looking good and ready for her mot. She's got new bearings,hubs,wishbones,track rod ends, droplinks and shocks. So hopefully she should pass. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/26/14f2c965b63160ce35d6dbf97906be54.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/...

Thanks Kirsty.

:):):)

Well, whilst I'm impressed , I'm not sure why you painted the hub faces? That will possibly lead to the disc not sitting straight on the hub. Either way - hows things going back together? :) Cheers don't worry those hubs are now surplus to requirements I've got new ones now as the old ones a part o...

Well after loads of struggling the other day I realised the legs that I had refurbed were useless the bearing hole was way to big and the hub from the 1600 wouldn't fit into a bigger bearing. So I've had to buy new bearings and hubs, don't mind though as that means everything is brand new now. Just ...

Started finishing off the legs and hubs. All painted and ready to go back on now. Also got the puller so I should have the bearings and over replaced this weekend and back in the before June. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/15/7f5e3dc898a319b7f3865260dab9b71c.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/...

Well I have just ordered my bearing puller tool.
So hopefully that will be here before Sunday as then I can get those bearings in and finally get here back on the road.

Na I know m8 I have a full brand new set ready to go in got them before I got the new legs.

Not bad. I'd have probably bought one to go with a Cavalier if only they didn't have such dreadful practicality. That's what my other half said and all I said was I'll use it as a work car that way the cavalier can go into dry storage and the Astra just becomes the family car entirely instead of an...

I have lol the turbo, I would love one of those.
Or a Redtop mainly for the running gear for the cavalier.

Just got this today off of a mate of mine Allan smith some may know him. It's a calibra 2.0 8v with only 10000 + Miles on the clock. No tax or test but she won't need much, Last moted in 2010. She has full mint leathers and two sets of nice looking clean alloys. Me and my m8 got her but he's thinkin...

I've not seen this one yet she looks good.
I wish my cavalier was back on the road.

Started the rebuild on the front end. Three days worth of struggling to get the shocks out but done it in the end. And then I had to buy new wishbones as the balljoints wouldn't come off. Only thing left to do now is change the bearings and the hub over. All my new parts. http://images.tapatalk-cdn....
