Nah, not for me to say who has it.
Yeah, it would have been a great project for someone who has time.

Not too well

[chunky79]

Seriously? You scrapped it?

[Ajc]

Hmmmmm, cant fool us with a cubed vectra . Though I do think it's an improvement and they should all be the same

[bilko1]

No i didn't scrap it, it's going to be a labour of love (and hate) Just picked it up from the body Shop but lots to do still.

So far
All new front suspension arms and wheel bearing. Tracking was out so played safe and changed the lot
New rear upper arm and track arm. Rear wheel was toeing out slightly too much.
New rear light and good condition second hand front wing.
New then modified oil cooler as old one was damaged and leaking slighty.
Second hand headlights supplied by Bam.

Still to do
Make some front grills up for front bumper.
Fix the screen on the RNSE.
New menu button.
New Alarm button on B pillar.
Fix the Air con.
Find the intermittant current drain, think this is the door lock.
Find out why the Alternator charges intermittanly.
Four wheel alignment.
Probably many others things as more faults appear everytime i look at it.
Wheel refurb.
New tyres as these are dry rotten and old.

The body Shop managed to save both bumpers, the rear just had a flesh wound but the front was pretty mullered and there is still a slight crack in it which won't weld up for some reason. They are going to have another go once it's all back together properly.

Here are a few randon pictures.

Glad to see it’s going to live on!

I wonder if Bam is still lurking somewhere and watching this...
