Since it is in for a full paint job right now I can work on a few little details:

- Fit Projectors to 400 headlights
- Fix little niggles with custom LED taillights
- Redo roof and sunroof material
- New tyres all around
- Upgrade sound system
- Battery relocation
- Wire in the fitted rear electric windows
- Tint Windows
- Tidy up the new washer system
- Clean and paint calipers
- Fiddle with settings between diesel pump and boost controller to get it just right
- Finally a full detail inside and out and photoshoot

Other than the tyres, sound system, and projectors, it is a bunch of small stuff but will most likely take me till March/April to get through the entire list but it is coming along oh so well!!! I will update my build thread soon hopefully...lol.

I've got no plans for the car this year. Going to be focused on finding a Grad scheme and sorting a house.

Will be selling the ZS as we're leaving Germany. Did consider taking it home with us but a bit much hassle with it being a left hooker. As yet our next destination is unsure, but if it's the UK will be buying a MK2 180 and if NZ will be keeping an eye out until any ZS comes up for sale. If it's Sweden, buggered if I know.

But if we are heading back to NZ first priority will be finishing my MGF rally car, been buying bits the last few months but still to finalise a competition hard top and cams (likely Piper BP300H).

lots of plans for 2014

finish the Rover 45 with 18 inch RVS Spyder rims, civic coilovers, the zs MK2 180 bodykit with extreme spoiler

finish my Starlet EP71 '85 automatic with a full haslbeck bodykit and the 1.3S interior and amber corner lights and maybe some nics 13 inch bbs look rims.

sell my '86 1.0 Starlet EP70 special

then buy a black EP82 1.3 automatic 1995 or 1996 and make it have the GT Turbo look (all parts like the hood with scoop, complete sideskirts with wheel arces, front and rearbumper, kouki and zenki rear light with their midpanel (so that i can choose) i already have, only the car now )

Plan is to resist the urge to have the astra remapped to 210bhp.

Don't bother mate - get it done ...

TX motorsport in Harlow where I had my exhaust sorted mess about with Vauxhalls .... most of their homepage and gallery photos feature modded VXs - including a 500+bhp Astra.

Yes but these 1.6 units have a habit of melting the 4th injector.
