The ending was class, all those mk1's hammering it about.

Cheers lads, I haven't actually done a lot of rust removal and prevention so I can't give too much advice but I think if you have etch primer then put that on. I used brush on hammerite for my axle, gearbox, prop and various crossmembers. The prop was painted months ago and it still looks fresh. I r...

Update, waiting on some braided brake lines before I put it all back together but there's not alot to do now. Some pics throughout and a panorama of my unit in case anyone wants a neb. http://i.imgur.com/2bPmv4vl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/h3VPIeFl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/509dcMal.jpg http://i.imgur.com/...

The standard outer bush has two holes in it, my polybushes replaced the entire thing and were a complete ball ache to fit.

If we're talking fast Vauxhalls, I prefer the Chevette HSR. Perhaps your mate wouldn't hit you quite as hard if you got one of those instead. ;) All the best, Andrew. I prefer the saloon look to the hatch though although them hsrs seem to go brilliantly. My best mates dad has a Firenza Droop Snoot ...

magnum sporthatch?
Whats everyones opinions on the droop snoot vauxhalls anyway? I like them but my mate I share a garage with said he'd hit me if I got one

Got 185/70 on my minilites

I found the split pins a right mare, haven't got round to putting the leg back on the car yet so I'm not sure how many I need :/

AFAIK a panhard rod is all you need to ditch it.

they keep painting 20 metre long cycle lanes in random places here...

I watched some of it, it annoyed me too much so I turned it off.

I've only known escort quarter bumpers been modified to fit a capri not a full one.

I got 110 out of my 1.6 but got too scared of running out of airstrip.

Moved onto the front finally




Can't wait to have a blast it's gonna feel like a different car with the state of all the parts I've renewed.

Well insurers also hate me cause I'm 20

who knows, improving your brakes bumps your premium up.

yeah just a tin of hammerite brushed on, I did my propshaft months ago and it still looks new so I decided to use it again.

So, on hearing the good old paving slabs 'advice' for the millionth time from someone, how do you guys react? Do you give a groan and give your 'you're an idiot' face, or do you smile politely and give a tactful 'oh really'? I do the latter. They get a smile and nod from me. They wont listen to any...

had a powdercoated front bumper on mine for a few months now, no stonechips yet. I went for gloss black cause I like the way it looks against the silver but its annoying having to paint the ends to match.

So does tightening it and a bit of belt dressing too though
