I've just got the calibra oil and volt gauges in mine. Work well enough and look std kinda even if they are just zip tied in place instead of the ash tray lol.
Collected the car tonight. Managed to forget to remove the bumper when taking it off the dolly so have now bent the bumper brackets and paint has flaked off back to the carribic blue it was originally. Quite happy about that.....

truly amazing update part 2....
corsa c passed its mot without needing anything other than a sidelight bulb. this means i can get it sold soon. its been a great little car to be fair. if i was able to afford to run and insure 3 cars id keep it.

zero motivation im afraid. its possibly going to be sat like this for a while yet. need to sort out a new car first i think. i haven't looked at it, or moved it, or done anything since the oil light came on. I've not even considered checking it actually. that worries me as I'm normally wanting to sort things quickly.

Give it a month or two, let your bank balance come back up a bit, then watch a few vids of your car to re-kindle the love. Works for me everytime

I know that feeling. This time last year I had just lost a well paying job, car broke, girlfriend broke up with me, got my fixed, 2 weeks later it was broke again, then my dad died. Was a proper shit time, but just got to keep progressing
