Guess so.

Well got to put my original lights back on for a bit now until I get round to tinting them as the GSi rear lights need to go on the pineapple as that's the car they belong on so will get that done one night this week, then it's a dash to get the pineapple all ready for Sunday 13th June!

Come along way this has ben, from the start of the year when you were adamant that you were selling it. Looks great keep it up 

[Ben_Mk3]

Cheers James :)

Yeah was never sure about keeping it but now I'm working I feel I can pay what it's worth now, even more so now I have the complete irmy kit and my new present which I get tomorrow. After I've got the irmy kit on and my new parts on, I only really have 2/3 more parts to buy before it's finished in terms of modifying.

Pics tomorrow

Mate, you've got some serious earnage capacity now. Wait till your bonus next year, you'll be in Minted City, population you!

Woo at last I can reveal what my latest bargain purchase is!

Got in from work tonight and went out again straight away with dad (thank you for taking me) to collect my latest purchase!

Ta da!




Yep, only got a pic of the fronts at the moment but they are indeed Vectra B heated black front seats complete with rear seats, all 5 headrests, arm rest and the middle 3 point seat belt for the bargain price of £67 collected. Owe mum £30 petrol on top of that but for seats that are already converted to Mk3 Astra as well! it still works out a bargain, even more so because there's no wear on them anywhere and no rips either!

They are very dirty at the moment, I've given the drivers seat a quick wash with some leather cleaner and it bought a lot of dirt off but I'll give the whole lot a clean tomorrow as I'm putting them in the car!

Just need to re-trim my door cards now, spray my roof lining and the rest of my plastics black 

Worth the 180mile round trip :)

[Ben_Mk3]

Yep will be going in tomorrow

[Torquesport]

Here's a pic of the rears!

Bargin Ben i take it that wass off the bay? are you going to wire them in or not use the heated option?

[Ben_Mk3]

Yep, found them about 4 hours before the auction ended! Won them quite nicely too. They'd been at 66.76 for about 24hours then at the last 2 secs i won them by £1

I will eventually wire the heated seat option in. My car already has the wiring in place but the plugs have been cut of the bottom of the seats - wiring is still there though :)

[vinny_69]

what you going to do find another plug or just bodge it?

[Ben_Mk3]

Scrappy job and find another plug then get the soldering iron out.

If I do it properly, I shouldn't have any problems when they're on

One thing you might know though, do you know if the plugs at the bottom of veccy seats are the same as calibra/cavalier ones?

  i wouldnt have thought so Ben as everything off my vectra was all diffrent connections to my callys

[Ben_Mk3]

Ah right, I'll keep an eye out for vectra plugs then, hopefully they'll plug in as normal to the car though - not important really though

[vinny_69]

i would just join them together unless you like taking your seat out all the time
