;D Well some pics as promised, made a start on it this weekend, collected some more bits as well. Cleaned it, this is the starting point: De trimmed it, and polished up what was under the trim, the trim is attached using these pins that are welded to the body. Then I took the trusty Dremel and cut the pins off and ground the remains down below paint level I have also attacked the minor stone chip rust spots and ground them back clean too. The bare metal was treated to some proper etch primer straight away. The idea is to do all of the little bits on the body like this, get it all straight and then I can repaint it all in one go. I picked up the springs at the weekend as well as the passenger seat. The harnesses arrived as well and I picked up my Bargain Drivers seat this afternoon ;D ;D Carbon/Kevlar Sparco ....... I wont upset you and tell you what I had to pay for it ;D More pics to follow

Looking good on the rostyles. What engine are you planning for it then? Rostyles are going, not a big fan of them myself. 7x13s will be replacing them ;D Engine wise.... sub 1400 cc 16v with an Eaton Supercharger on the side Just picked up a 50000 mile 1.4 Zetec s from a mates festa, got the standard problem with knocking bottom end, everyone reckons you cant rebuild them.... we will see.... ;D Didnt cost anything so worth a shot. Skodanorman...... this is just the start ;D It will be a lot lower on Tarmac Rally spec springs and dampers (Konis coming over from Germany ) springs are 400lbs - 2" front from my old Ascona, rear will get cut down standard fronts ;D One evening this week it will end up a lot lower than it is now ;D

How do you sort out caster and camber on a chevette? On the lada its very simple, you just pack the bottom wishbone out with washers LOL! But its different on the opel? Also, you could PM 'Pughie' on BRF, he navs for Dai 'Dot' Davis in the awesome xe powered HSR, he is a good friend of mine
