Car made the trip to Billing without any issue, first decent drive I have done it and would do it again tomorrow, perfectly happy cruising along the motorway

Car was filthy after the trip down so treated it to a quick wash outside Billing



A few pictures of the car from the CS stand











Then, the main reason I had to make the trip was to pick up this...a genuine GM GSi rear quarter that I had ordered from a company in the Netherlands who where making the trip to Billing





Reason I bought this is because the car is clean but the only bad bits on the car are all limited to this r/h quarter plus it's had a bad repair at some point in it's life, with this I can get rid of all the nasty bits on in go

I have no date or timeline plan for the repaint and stuff but buying up the bits early on eases the cost and the hassle at the time

Show was spot on and the CS crew are great, brews, burgers and shelter Was my girlfriends first ever car show and she loved it so must be good

Finally sorted this, got my mate to dremel out the non airbag column for me and now it fits . I stuck it on last night but was too dark to get pictures, it's not 100% around the ignition but looks far better than having no cowling, plus I never liked the idea of parking the car with the cowling missing, little bit too inviting for any would be thief

Thanks mate! It didn't look too bad, just a shame I couldn't spend the days before it getting it really clean as it would have been much nicer then!

Hoping to do a few jobs this weekend...nothing interesting though

Cheers Mark

Quarter wasn't too bad I don't think for what it is, I paid £230 which I reckon is pretty good for a GM GSi one! I bubble wrapped it and put it in the loft today so it's safe and sound for when I need it
