ill find out saturday for you john
couple more problems ive found out with the car.
central locking doesnt opperate the passenger door. works fine with driver door,boot and petrol cap.
also passenger side electric wondow is VERY slow and doesnt wind down to the bottom.
I just know this list is going to keep getting longer and longer :-(

lol. if you can call it fun
so far touch wood theyre all minor things that need sorting. i just dont know where to start.
i havent even had a proper look around the car yet. as by the time i get home after work (9-5) its pitch black.
looking forward to tomo when i can take a better look

just booked it in with the bodyshop to start in the new year.
will get both rear arches done, both sills replaced and painted
and front and rear bumpers painted and also afew other bits.
cant wait, as that id say is the biggest thing about this GSi letting it down

first lot of things came today for the astra.
pics will follow later as im at work right now.
first off all, we have the original astra gsi brochure from 1992. 12 pages based purely on the gsi. great bit of memorabilia.
HID lights also came today from burnsie. still awaiting for the h4 10k bulbs from ebay though before i get to fit these.
also today came my remote central locking kit. had this on my last astra. deffo brings it into the 21st century lol
should be easy to wire as i have a thread on here from last time.
one thing though, i need to connect a wire from the aftermarket remote lockign box to the alarm siren. any ideas which wire this will be? and will i have to run it through to the engine bay? (assuming the siren is under the bonnet on a mk3)
could someone just confirm aswell, from memory the wires at the indicator stalk to wire to the central locking box to flash the indicators are a green/black wire and a green/grey wire. is that correct??

all the kits seem the same though. the one i bought last time was from LMF, all around the £20-25 mark
pretty easy to wire up too once you know what wires you need lol

and nice work mate
and nice work mate
got the tank from ebay. brand new £20
now the idea for the GSi is to keep the bodywork totally standard.
inside im only going to make slight changes to improve the inside - mainly getting the calibra gauges in there.
as for the engine...
this is where i want the magic to be. ive been inspired by vxrmarc's vxr burg engine detail, so with my engine theres going to be alot of chrome, but not so much to look silly. its all going to work well together.
so heres the start of it. within the next few weeks she'll be getting headgasket done and the timing belt side of things. im toying with the idea of red silicon hoses too but unsure as of yet.
opinions always welcome

Sounds nice to me and i dont really think it will be too much with the hoses at all.
