* Just a wee update *
Got some chrome Vectra B handles and a Vectra gear knob with a chrome ring subtle modifications but they make it bit more unique along with some Astra G side repeaters and new number plate light from Vaux 
Ive also invested in some 100mm rear spring cant wait for them to be fitted but waiting till all this snow dissapears doesnt look much on pictures but cleared most of it off drive
Oh and dirt FTW

Black is the best colour.
How are you finding your inlet?

Bloody hell I havn't updated this for nearly a year so here goes ...
March 2010 : Had a real problem with power as there just seemed to be absolutely nothing there which later on we discovered why. Anyway , I had to decide whether to break and split the car or repair it and fater looking at numerous re conditions on here I fancied giving it a go. So I sorn'd it and claimed tax back as Id just put six months on it. But because I only work part time it was hard to get everything literally there and then so had to do a bit of saving  Anyway ill let most of the pictures do the talking.
Before it came off the road
Kenwood CD player Old school !
10 CD charger a snip at 7 quid fully working bargain
Very Very untidy engine bay
Fuel Filter OLD
Fuel filter new
New plates & some damage where a plank decided to ride a bike into my car parked up
New Timing belt
The discovery of my power loss, the Sprocket lug had been sheered off which led to the timing being completely out hence poor power & major over fueling.
As can see quite badly sheered
So replaced that and the running was improved but still wasn't fantastic
So decided to take the head off and take a look. We soon discovered that the engine had been taken out before as nothing was put back in correctly and was just generally a mess.
Pistons got a very good clean and put back in
So with the head off , decided to take a look at valves and put in some new stem seals. I bought a uprated Reisse Head gasket kit included all gaskets and stem seals and would recommend to anyone as you can tell the stuff is very well made.
However once taken all the valves out we realised that eight of the valves were bent so as i result I had to send the head off to an engineering place to have new valves put and in and re seated along with a good chemical clean.
Old valve and new clean ones
Putting it all back together
There was a few other issues that needed addressing. I had a leak coming from my sump which we discovered a mighty chunk had gone missing
So I had that replaced along with a newer gear box which we cleaned up
I also laid my hands on a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold Which saw me a good gain
New ball joints
EGR Blank which weighs alot for what it is
Head back on and much much better 
The next thing to address was my exhaust system as it had seen better days so I bought a new one and attacked my old one with a hammer
New clamps
As well as replacing my Handbrake cable
To finish it off I gave my Head cover a once over and im not a fan but itll do till I get time to respray it
All in all
More to come soon

Looks a lot better mate, nice to see a tidier engine bay. How is Rows old exhaust sounding with the 4-2-1 on as well?
