So here are the updates over the past few months or so Finally got round to fitting some of my parts i bought

Painted the engine & fresh gaskets and another rocker cover etc etc.. still get to be fitted





Tigra scuttle & new Flat Blade Wipers..



Bought some Vauxhall Wind Deflectors..





Also finally fitted my new Vauxhall Door Pins, Vectra Chrome Doorhandles, Black DoorCards much better than the spotty pre97 sri one's




Got round to fitting some post97 sport front seats that i had for ages witch will seem really pointless when you see down 1 photo..



Bought these days later after faffing around fitting the post sport seats
