Bit of an update.
If you didnt read the previous thread, got a Astra MK3 (1.4 SPI ) runaround.
Bodywork is mint, so i've begun to tidy it up here & there...
Here's how it looked after i picked it up, i polished it up so unfortunatly no before pics of when it was pink!
At this stage i'm really feeling the 60 odd bhp that it pushes out
Anyway, i picked it up totally standard. Paint was faded but not flaked anywhere, there was no rot on it and only a small dent on the drivers front wing.
First step was to clean it up, it's had 2 T-Cuts (all done manually by hand) and numerous layers of Super Resin Polish. Needless to say it embarrases the paintwork on a lot younger car's.
Here's a picture of it last weekend when i polished it up...
Ok, here's the dash. As you can see the stereo surroundings are mangled, so i will need a new centre console. In the same effort i'll be sorting the temp gauge out (doesnt work, brand new sensor ordered) and replacing the MFD, heater controls and clocks with red LED kit. Simple yet effective mod, makes the dash look a lot fresher.
