Helllllloooo!
Well decided to start a little project thread.
Dont have many pics atm but will update tommorrow when ive got some.

Done a few things so far:
-Heko Wind Deflectors
-Clear side repeaters
-Tigra Scuttle
-GSI Interior

Next i decide to colour code my boot lock surround, this is the only pic ive got but u get the idea.



Next on the list was some wheels,
Some astra 6 spokes came up at the right price.

Got them home and sprayed them white with opel center badges.



Then trial fitted to see how they will look



Only pic ive got of the actual car atm.
Wheels now have proxies on.

Few weeks later, came across a 1.6 for sale so went and picked it up from jibjob.
Got it home and straight on the stand to start stripping, dont really know what im doing so learning as i go.
any help is more than welcome





Took sump off for a quick lick of paint freshen it up...





Not happy with the finish though so will be coming off again to be redone.

Started to clean..







Stripped Down Abit More..







All Clean Ready For Paint







Started To Paint



Not to fussed bout the paint on the rocker cover as it will be being polished or flocked not sure which yet..

Well went outside to find a nice broken rear wiper
So a quick trip to halfords and came back with a blanking grommet

And removed rear wiper.





One Rear Wiper Motor





Got the grommet in



But is to big so sits to far out



And did some more painting
