Ah, missed these updates, looking good though

Aye, I can be. And sometimes I just do cos I feel it needs to be done. It's all a bit odd.

Still, it'll fix

Nicely progressing Rob, as for the gearbox, I am sure it can be put right whatever it is.
Problem for another day.

So, its been a couple of months. Regulator was wrong, so sent that back, still need to go hunting for another one. Finally replaced the rear wiper (snapped the other one whist taking it off, so had to resort to the hack saw). Long over-due a service (3 years apparently :/) and a good wash. I really ...

Depends on what is next on the list to be restored, given your comments on the vectra thread, maybe look for as many free jobs as you can get done yourself?

No idea - it is completely missing - just a bit of weld left behind on the pipe.

And a barbed rod under the car body.

It'll sort. as long as its working for now. That is what matters.

Excellent progress Rob, even if you think they are 'little' jobs, they are check boxes and as you say - its being made safer

Oh, no I totally get it, and admire it to be honest. As I say, it was a selfish want

Still, it'll be moving under its own power. The new lump will raise those figures a bit won't it?

Wowsers, loving the little bargains you find online, more spends certainly, but over-all hopefully it'll pay off in the end, rightly, or wrongly I'd love to see this with the izuzu lump in it some day. But that is just a selfish want.

Oh most certainly, I am very good at doing similar.

Sounds promising to me! Hope to see it in the metal again some day.

Is it rolled steel hangers on the exhaust that's missing?

Progressing, the radiator looks pretty similar to the mk3 cavaliers.

Least it wasn't anything too serious and not an issue with the actual brakes themselves.

It'll sort out without too much of an issue no doubt.

Not bad for someone who last drove a cav 11 years ago.

Hopefully a nice easy fix. Happy days. Tiger seal, sicaflex, or CT1 would be my goto sealants now for that stuff.

No worries. Health does indeed come first.

Everything will come together / be finished when its finished. It's not a race.

You know what I mean the side repeaters earth to the same point as the loom / ecu from memory (see how reliable my aging brain is.. )

Still things to ponder till next weekend

Aye, that main loom earth on the drivers side would be a very good place to start if the indicators are out.

Hope its nice and fun for you

Oh, that doesn't look great, and yep elephants trunk would be a good place to look, as well as the foam seal around the heater blower area if that hasn't already been replaced with a sikaflex replacement

Loving it, so thanks for sticking with it. Nice to see this coming together.
Sorry to hear about the non-motoring related troubles too, hope your wife is recovering well.

It's good progress, for the water ingress I would be looking at the windscreen debonding, looking for signs of delamination. inner wing flitch panels and the sunroof / a pillars where the drains drop down.

Fantastic news on the pass. Hopefully things will improve from here.

Be nice to see you both if you make it. Really is a fantastic show. I'll see if I can dig out some photos from last year (if I haven't lost them) if you want?
