Yes! Won some black Calibra leather seats not too far away at last!
£60 look to be in good nick as well. I can't believe how cheap calibra leather is these days. Once upon a time they would have set you back £500. I don't need the back seats though so if anyone wants them you know what to do.

I know. We'll have to see about the black wheels, don't know if the Vauxhall alloys that are on there will suit black. What do think?

Just ordered one of these. £135 + p&p. Made of Fibreglass, will never rust and a better price than the £500+ Vauxhall charge for a steel one that will just rot again at the first sign of rain!

Flew through the MOT Suspension is on, cally brakes and new tyres and a few other things. I'm just glad she is now legal. Back with me for a week and then back to the garage for the new roof to be fitted and a full respray in orange.


Getting there. Temporary roof only cost £20.


These are making way for black Calibra leather this week.


Smoked vectra item for 99p on eBay.


New Diesel clocks with blue bulbs and SRi steering wheel.


New finest quality mild steel pea shooter exhaust.


I'm a Corsa, honest!


Thats a better height. New stoppers as well.

Already have it. If you saw my roof close up you wouldn't say that. It keeps the van dry but not for too much longer. Trouble is that the way the foof is designed, you will never stop it from rusting as it is a constant water trap. The fibreglass version is what vauxhall shold have done in the first place. The quality of it is excellent as well. Once it is on and sprayed you would be hard pushed to tell the difference between this and the VX one.
As for the aerial i just need a new one.

The garage is making it up so i'll ask them to make as bright orange as possible. I like the look of those wheels in black, very tasty.

After seeing that picture you kindly posted, I fully intend to.
Toying with the idea of Red Topping it as well.

Couple of little jobs done today.


New Filter, bought off someone on here. As you can see i have given up on the lifters today. I just can't get them to go line up and go on fully.


Richbrook lock plungers. For a change, a truly 5 minute job.

Pull the red tab out of your old ones and then pull off the old grey thing. New one comes with grub screws push on and do up with provided allen key. As simple as that.

Just taken the van around the block with the filter on and for a diesel it sounds pretty good. Almost dare i say sounds from the inside a bit series 2 RS Turboish!
