^ then spent Saturday cleaning some things to go on to it.
Spent most of today with aaron messing about with car stuff. Sanded some of the shit paint on the van and white undercoated it so at least its half decent. Cleaned the van with the new pressure washer, and fitted a white bonnet! Got rid of the rusty one

I just bought 2 new headlights for my ZC CDXI Vectra 2003. Then I get a flat on the front right, and the rim is cracked. Ive posted in WTB, but if anyone has a broken set of 19" Snowflakes that will fit, I am VERY interested in a purchase. Cheers. BTW.. Had my car now for 7 years, and STILL loving it !
Washed the Astra a few days ago and polished today.
Also found a big freaking on dent on the roof of the Pug [emoji35]

Have to replace the water pump in my landcruiser, so while the tools were out i stripped the rear end to cut the bum off it. Always drags off drop offs.

To this.
Waiting on steel supplier to make a new tow hitch and it's done.

Little bit shorter now, still need to weld in the tow hitch but it ends up 175mm shorter and 100mm further up. Should stop the embarrassing drag it's bum down the drop off the 80 is prone to! If the bodywork cops any damage it'll get cut off and plated up to the bottom of the tail lights.

All finished, and bonnet sprayed in bed armour because it had a nasty sunburn and I have a habit of walking on it to get to the gear on the roofrack.

Reset SII on dashboard, replaced missing thermo fan cowl shroud Torx head anchor bolt to radiator frame, made new magnetic sump plug utilising neodymium cylindrical magnet, removed headlining mounted courtesy light array and replaced blown main 18W festoon globe with 16 x CoB LED light replacement instead.
Can't believe the cheap quality construction of that headlining courtesy light assembly. So cheap & nasty. Nothing soldered, nothing insulated. Just all clip together strips of exposed copper sheet to provide the power and then a massively hot 18W filament globe to melt the plastic all around when the globe holders break their mounts! Just as well there's no sound deadening insulation in the roof space otherwise the whole car would burn to the ground in no time. 16 LEDs on a board make a massive difference to interior lighting compared to the 18W festoon. It's like a supernova inside the car now when you open a door.
Dropped engine oil, gearbox oil feeling fresh

you having another baby?
No need a booster seat and these recaros seem the best option if you want something decent looking 😀

Slowly getting annoyed with the way the Astra is starting to look. Yes Astra's are bad for how long the paint lasts. Especially this colour, as all the car I have seen as the same.
I was going to go body colour with the lower skirts & mirror caps. But as I done both the front & back Holden emblem in satin black, It has turned out quite good.
Door side mouldings will be done in body colour. The bonnet thou is another story. Might look to replace it with something in better condition & wrap it is satin black vinyl
The roof is in not to bad condition. So I will wrap that in satin black in a few weeks..
Side Skirt Before

Side Skirt after with Satin Black

The Bonnet. Hmmmm
http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/...219_191624.jpg
There's a product called solution finish which will bring the plastics back to life. Also, you could go rat look with the bonnet lol https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e9fe046b9d.jpg

Sand the bonnet flat/smooth first. Even the slightest imperfection on the bonnet will be exaggerated/amplified by the vinyl wrap
Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk
Yeah I know about the vinyl wrap. Hence why getting a better bonnet. With that & the wrap would be cheaper than getting it resprayed. Which would look better than wrap thou.
The car mechanically is pretty good. Runs like a dream for coming up to 297,000k's. I get 6.2 - 6.6 lts per 100klms. But the paint makes it look worse than the car is.
But around this time next year, after the almost $1000 a month child support finishes, I will be looking at getting a new car. Hopefully the new Astra GTC's will be coming out around that time??? But that is another story..
Just looking at doing cheapish stuff I can do myself just to improve the look a bit.. :)

So shiney Pete!
Mine needs some TLC but instead I bought more bits for it. Which probably wasn't smart seeing as we just bought a new house!

Thanks man. It's a weird feeling!! Because the Mrs is still up in karratha working it's just me ATM. And I'm not used to having no pets or people around. And my meals I'm cooking shows!! Haven't cooked for the last few nights I have had that many left overs!! 😂😂😂😂
