Ermmm....
Been away for a bit, thought i'd start off with an update on the 45.
For the most part the 45 has served me well over the last year. I've also done a few bits to the car. Some service items and some to improve the looks of the thing.
First off I changed the cambelt one weekend. Very surprised at how easy it was to do, just took my time and asked a few questions when I got stuck.
Found the cam locking tool wasn't helping much. Kept putting the cam timing out a tooth. But she runs perfect now, the old belt wasn't far off from snapping!!
Me and good mate had talked about going to U-Pull it in Fife. Just for a good look see if anything else. Didn't expect to find two Wedgewood blue 45's in. Feckin' result in my book.
So we got a good door, wing and bonnet. For ?84 with vat. Got the front bumper too, but found my orignal was in better nick so was left on.
Got my mate Curtis to line up the wing. Sorted the gaps in no time.
Car's due MOT soon and it needing some niggles sorted. Sticking rear caliper and split CV boot. Might also invest in some 180 shocks to firm up the handling a touch.
Also done a daft thing and got another Vauxhall in my life. After saying i'd never have another....
