An empty bank account lol

No seriously I'd never scrap it, I've picked up so many skills so far from my dad's astra!! he drives a rarer pineapple 1.8 sport and last year the cam belt on that broke, took the aux belt with it, bent a pulley, bent quite a few valves so we ended up putting a new head on, new gaskets, new belts, new pulley, then new pads, disks, track rod ends, ball joints and various other things and I learnt loads doing that as my dad suffers from a few illness and bad back and can't lean over or under the car for very long but I loved it!!

Just going to keep plowing on, will get there eventually!

On a lighter note, my grill is currently in the kitchen being re-done! it's having a new type of mesh fitted which has tiny holes so should hide whats behind it better!!

I'm also thinking about doing all the mesh red? if not that then black mesh with like a red line around the outside??
What do you think?

lmao,

Yeah he is, he does his best but always pushes himself one step further than he can and ends up in pain again!!

I'm thinking something like this for my grill:



Except on an Astra and not a fiesta!! Will either be that or all red mesh,
