I agree mate. Don't get wrong, I can appreciate a modified car.... but be different. On another forum that I used to be a member of, a few member kept trying to persuade me to GSi rep mine. They couldn't grasp the fact that I wanted to keep the old girl standard. IF I wanted an Astra with a GSi kit on, I would have bought a GSi.

Anyway, back on topic  :rtfm:

Cheers guys  :good:

We both like the purple grill, it's something different and stays away from the common black  8)
Thats fair enough mate,how boring would it be if we all had the same tastes and ideas?

I'm having lunch with my mate Charlie Wolf today. He's from the US so no idea what he's going to make of my gaily coloured car! As a political commentator, I doubt he'll pull his punches and I may come home from Finchley with my feelings deeply wounded!

Still running like a dream. Though managed to swipe the nearside mirror on a parked BMW yesterday when an oncoming school minibus decided he wanted my piece of tarmac! Luckliy Ben had his window open and the mirror glass flew off and landed in his lap!

Also bought one of these snazzy little MP3 players. This can cope with 2gb of music as opposed to a 700mb cd and only £3.50 posted!



I love this car, nomatter how crappy I feel, driving it always makes me smile!

Not much to report but today I spent a bit of time on this car instead and got the rear loom sorted! Just swapped the plugs on the end... a dab hand with the soldering iron now ;) and fixed the motor rod and job done!!

Will do the passenger door on Wednesday :)

Little update:

Car still going well, we had a little lane related fun a couple of weeks back, great fun. The old Pineapple can still hustle!

Anyways, just finished installing an LED strip into my heater controls. Piece of pee to do and looks pretty good I think.




That's not my control fascia, mine has a 4 speed fan.

So, no updates in a while. The old girl is still running very well and is looking forward to getting her handbrake sorted by Damo next weekend!
Only other jobs needing to be done over the summer are tidying the paintwork with the machine polisher and giving it a good valet inside. Oh and of course properly fit the Calibra rear leather seats.
