Well it's been a year since I updated this. And it's been sat in the garage a year. So pulled my finger out and got round to doing a few changes.
My Exhaust Downpipe was the main priority as it was touching the radiator well tbh it had buckled the rad fins and rub through so had to replace it...
Update.. since e the wedding I never really used the Astra. However the week running upto VBOA I figured I best get it sorted and cleaned.. so put it up on stands and set to work. Pleased to see it's still fresh underneath after 5yrs .
Cleaned all the hub mating faces with the hub cleaner...
Fantastic work Clegg. Love how confident you are now with wiring and general repairs. Well deserved beer in a field with like minded people next weekend :)
Lights are sorted. Both motion sensing. One for outside is solar, 3 settings
1 Constant dim
2 constant dim, motion detect it goes bright then dims. (So it's always on)
3 Off, full bright on motion then off
(Blinded)
Il make a hook for it, it does have a sticky back aswell
One for inside...
Wedding day 20-04-24
Woke myself up early as I had the car to ribbon up plus I'd left it out on the drive over night to save time. Didn't really save anytime as what can only be described as a Giant Condor decided my car was a good toilet :(
So washed the full side off and had to quick detail...
Little update nothing much been done really. Other than. Keeping it clean.
However I've managed to fit my £20 bargain of leather doorcards I picked up last year at VBOA :) I will be sorting the seats out soon, gonna have the gsi trim half leathered
Wile I was on I moved my tweeters back...
Torque steer I haven't really noticed tbh mines still on a 'Open' diff in the f28, wonder if your feeling it more with the LSD and the semi slick tyres
Little update. Haven't drove it since VBOA as I wanted to get round to fixing the issues. So tonight I spent a hour. First up the water pipe I had to do something with the end of it. Dug out my pipe swage tool why I didn't do this previously il never know. Worked a treat 3 to 4 times around...
When I say the struggle is real to getting it on and off the drive I mean it. It doesn't look bad in the pics but I'd have no exhaust left if it wasn't for the woods.
Washed it off from the Sunday drive home in the rain.
And put to bed
Little update now the dust has settled after a manic week prior to VBOA. Had the Thursday off work to get the final bits done on the astra technically it was just a quick clean off, finish the ring on the bonnet and trim the screamer pipe abit more to clear the bonnet.. All done
Friday the big...
Yesterday I had a couple spare hours so went to work to do the remaining bits on the astra. I wasn't happy with the finish on the screamer pipe hole so bought a horn centre ring. Trimmed the screamer pipe down 5mm too. Much better in my eyes.
Also wile I was there I flatted off the 2 Offside...
MOT passed the other day. Taxed it this morning. Got up early and went into work for 6am to do some bits. Got the Alignment sorted out, Handbrake adjusted, exhaust adjust as the tip was tight up against the bumper it's now 5mm clear. Started on the Aircon. Connection valves were leaking FFS. New...
Yesterday I got the car interior and exterior cleaned and Finally my car is out ready for me to take to work this morning for MOT, alignment and AC check and gas. Thought I'd take the photos for the insurance valuation too. Can't help but notice my OSR door is darker, I don't know how as all...
