Opel steering wheel but vauxhall every where else?
Engine bay looks class
I might have a Vauxhall one in my shedAye I’m changing that . It was a super mint wheel so I couldn’t pass on it but I had the Opel badge . Think I have a deal done with a guy in England to swop the horn section with a Vauxhall badge cause I dont think you can get the badges out to change .
Cheers Pete .Literally looks like a brand new car. Credit to you, that is fantastic.
Got the main part of the skirts fitted last night. Lets hope they never have to come off again.
The well nuts were a great job, drilled them out and used metal pain to seal the metal before butting them in and i used stainless bolts to stop any rusting.

im nor sure how they were originally fitted as the skirts came inside the old Gsi shell . looked like they were screwed at both end into the arch and there wasnt a chance i was doing that for them to start rusting and my arches are mint. So used a bit of tiger seal on each end, also had to use tiger seal on the lip that slides under the door gap as it was sticking up a bit and i was afraid of it rubbing the paint.

All dry and stripped this morning , just have to fit the other piece that goes on the door, bit of lining up to do but i think i want the car on the ground to do this bit to make sure the gaps are the same. The doors tend to move a bit on this car when its up in the air , can feel it when closing the door as the lock hits the keeper a bit.

this sort of idea when finished hopefully.
Is it the door bits you’re talking about ? They dont seem to be bad . I might have to trim a small bit to make sure it doesn’t hit off the skirt when closed through . Seems a bit tight for my liking .any off them i had the kits where always twisted at the ends
Cheers , starting to take shape now.Looks fantastic!!
Cheers chap, I know for a fact I’d rather some of the cars in your shed sitting in my garageReally coming together now, wish it was in my shed!
Only one thing I would change on it and that's the glass, a set of OE green tint would just leave it perfect.
