Jesus I remember this from RB when I had my let van..

Sure I lost out on that bonnet to you aswell a while back

Looks a damn sight better now after changing it from white, wheels really suit aswell.

I'm going to have to buy/build another as a weekend toy at some point.

Just a passing update, the Engine & Tb's were sold on as the mrs is learning to drive & rather than have two cars just have one until were out debt & I get another car & she has this.

So i fitted a 1.6 8v dispack engine

2.0 coming out







Seat rail plastics. Vauxhall only sell the drivers side now, so im on the look out on ebay for passengers side too.



Dash almost complete, rev counter still needs connecting.



Rear seat belts & shelf supports fitted. Broom optional extra lol.



Engine fitted & running after a minor accident from petrol in my eyes (funny now but it hurt like fook at the time)



Wheels......



Needs lowering further, but it was dark so I couldnt be arsed to remove wheels etc etc...



Fucked bonnet :'( Might repair, might replace with standard one?





& gave a it a wash & polish the other day & hope to be taking it for a mot as soon as vauxhall get back to me with a part needed for the dash cluster lights to work...
