Great work Vicky, Looks great girl :cheer2:

Afternoon everybody, Dave here, I took the ariel lead out completely over the last couple of days, and there are no breaks in the connection from what I can tell.... So for now I think we will just live without it, and look into a new cable in the near future. Lefthooker: that black and white...

Your car looks lovely :-)

Hi ya just said I'd say hello on your page :-)

Dave tried looking for one of those toffee wheel things, the body shops were useless didnt have a clue about what he was on about!! He tried bug and tar remover and got so much off, but its a bit weak, we found that thinners are a lot better, also perfect for taking tar off too :D

Dave here, Kev, and Hinton, thanks about the wheels :D Took a lot of time, and effort to get them to that stage, you know yourselves. I got them sandblasted, then had to wait about a month for the sprayer to get etch primer which took longer than expected. I also made sure that the colour was a...

yet again, it posted twice :(

Dave here, I started another repair job on the Astra today, well I say another, more like a continuation from yesterday! You will find in the Ice section of here, our problems with the lack of radio reception... Took a few pics to explain to Grace what I had to do, etc, she nearly had heart...

Dave here, I plan to do that tomorrow, I can't wait haha! I re-soldered the red/grey wire and also followed it through the ISO block to where it connects on the radio side, and found I hadn't connected a blue/white wire, reconnected that, and now when i set the heatunit to radio mode, the date...

also where might i find the ariel amplifier just incase something has become disconnected etc from there?? thanks for the help guys :D

Dave here, Lefthooker, the red/grey cable that runs from the iso to the mfd plug is already cut haha, i will solder it back up and see what happens :P will have a few pics to follow soon too of the carnage :P

thanks Toml123 :) It's the best colour they produced for the car I think :D hey washfordmk3 :) You aint the only one who can't wait for the finished article :D It's such a pain that I wanna do something, yet can't afford to, really gets me down :( Given time though, i hope it will be a...

Thanks for the help guys, Dave is working on the car today anyway, so I will have him check the cable for any breaks etc, and also tell him about cutting the wire :)

Money is tight at the mo... but, if you're willing to donate the required parts, he will happily give it a go :):):)

I'm the brains behind the outfit, Dave is the monkey! But a brilliant one at that in my eyes :) I'm not technically minded, but I do love to see how people modify their cars, and I have always dreamt of having my own some day. Once I met Dave, I knew straight away that dream would come true :)...

grrr pics uploaded twice :(

Here is the glue from the badges I am talking about: Here is my Pioneer DVD Player - Given to me by Dave! set him back €1100 including iPod adapter! It's touch screen, and you can control the iPod from it, aswel as watch DVD's. You can connect up a games console, and add extra control boxes...

Thanks for the sweet comments guys, I really appreciate it, sometimes I feel like the Astra is a lost cause, but then at the same time I can't help but love it, especially the colour, as it stands out around here, and everyone seems to know it by now :) We have taken off the badges from the...

the connecter on the back of the radio is on fine, and so is the connecter at the base of the ariel. it used to work once before the old ariel snapped. how many ariel connections are there behind the dash, just incase one of them could be loose or broken etc??

Hey everybody! At long last I have some updates for you all :D Nothing groundbreaking, but for me it's all good as it is slowly but surely bringing my Astra upto standards :) Once all the bad weather had passed, it wasn't long before I kicked Dave out the door so he could get to work fixing up...
