BrutalpingPT Opel Astra F 1.7 TDS Caravan

in britain probablly in a house that can reinforce breakpads and stuff like that. i've send it to an specific house and it cost 250€ for the reinforcement, they reinforce all the clutch kit and the motor flywheel.
 
News ... mounted the steering column, after having it off for painting and cleaning, I mounted the servo brake, etc, mounted the steel mesh tubes in front and behind can't get to take a few screws and then I left it for the mechanic , I put the engine in place and installed the tubing to make the car running ... just left to make a support vessel for the liquid-assisted steering, 3 clamps on tubes of steering, a pipe clamp on the injection pump (Diesel filter), and system electrically connected properly.
already talked to my mate alex and he already went to my home to finish the installation of the engine area, so if he can get the car working.

I am currently in London (fullham), where I will stay for three long months, to make curricular, so there will be no news of the mighty astra for a few months ...

k is not some kind soul want me to go away the little that remains in the car.

here are the photos.


















hugs and see you soon.
(if anyone's arround, just call me to a beer ;) )

having an tuned astra in london is a nightmare mate, wouldn't get comfortable while sleeping...and then there's no parking place anywhere around the company as well.. that a shame really, and believe me...i want to see it running more than anyone. xD
