I'm going for 2.5. I've already started collecting various parts ('g' cams, 3.0 lower divider & enlarged TB so far) & with a complete donor car it's the quickest, easiest & laziest way! :wink:

I've had enough for the year. No point in having the car out over the winter months getting sh**ted up on salty roads, I have a "bag of spanners" Vectra GLS for that!

I'll get it MOT'd at the end of March, taxed for 6 months at the beginning of April to see me to the paint shop & through the summer then it's back in the garage from October again. :)

Well, it's that time of year again & she came back out of my garage yesterday. :)

Gave her a basic service & started on a few odd's & sod's to start putting things back together again (including fudging the rear exhaust mount to stop it rattling against the kit :wink: ).

More to do today, including fitting set of headrests in the rear and some general MOT preperation checks as we'll be in for testing in a couple of weeks. Once that's done it's Tax in April & off to the paint shop for more "blue treatment".

Oh, & a V6 to get in at some point when I actually have one! :lol:
