Well got my momo front strut brace through. Going to get it on in the next couple of days and get a pic up. Never really been bothered by strut braces but just fancied it and it was cheap.

I've read about the evils of drinking beer, so I gave up reading.

I agree Sam, GSI's are over rated. I prefer the look of this.  :good:

Well i thought i better do a little update. Not much has happened on the old girl. Just be aquiring parts and bits and bobs. But i have decided on plans for the new year so hopefully these things will start taking shape.
It is going to go wide arch.
Then its going to have a spray job, same colour, just tidy it up.
Then i want to rebuild a.... V6 and get that in. :) So im looking for a cheap V6. Vectra one.

deffinatley go the v6 route, but i would suggest go for a cavalier or calibra v6 as the transplant will be a lot easier and ecu will sit in the same place as the astra  one does, and the immobaliser system is a lot easier tyo swap over but when you do it you will love it

OK cool, the only reason i was really thinking vectra is you can get one with much lower milage. however, if its much easier with a cav or cally one then id go with that :)
