Robbie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I though u could of used the scrap one to go by Dawn, A well at least it will get built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunman Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 A scrap car is about the best thing you can have about ye when doing a rebuild, lets you see how things go together and also a ood source of all the silly things it takes ages to find (providing you actually can find them ) Sometimes when theres a time constraint it does become easier to get work done than do it yourself.

Snowy Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 The glass is still available. I just dont want to post it as i have been down this road before and not had much luck. Glass just doen't post well. Even if you put fragile on the package it still ends up broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadamVectra Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 well having made it to Billing and back...all be it with a a lot of coughing! its seems the engine isn,t very happy and looks like it might be getting changed sooner than i thought. worse case is the oil pump is kaaput not wanting to spend any money on the engine iam on the look out for a V6...yes i know i have a 16v for her but that realy does need a re-build due to standing around for a while. so iam thinking of buying a whole car vectra/omega thats running and know the engine is fine and dandy. will keep you all posted.. was really enjoying my drives out around Darlington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
