Thanks Mal! I find that time frames and due dates are just numbers that I cannot commit to.......  I've had this car for over 10yrs now and due to life, laziness and distractions its as far from the road now as ever! As i said earlier I have to sell my other two retros which is a shame cos I love my Opel GT (even though it hates me!) but I cannot sell the Magnum. It'll have the garage to itself and all my attention at that stage. I hope ................ |

I am very happy to hear you'll be keeping the magnum. I have just one classic to work on and it is nice for a change. But I keep looking at others to buy.....

I know sure I'm the same Alex, I have to get rid of the two but I still have about 20 cars on my ebay watch list! Unless I won the lotto over the weekend that's as far as any of those are going!

I'm a serial old Vauxhall addict . . One Chevette HSR Rep, one two door saloon, and a Chevanne . . and I'm going to do a deal on a second Chevanne . .and I'm going to look at 21 cars at a farm next weekend . . .

Finger firmly up my hoop, I've done nothing with this in ages - international viva week or not! Got a second inlet manifold for the engine as the first one had no water channel but haven't even opened the box it arrived in. That is all.

Glad you like it Steve, and nice childhood story too! Ha! There'll be no big wheels going on this though - i've got about 4 sets of old alloys/steels to choose from for it and I think it looks better on them.   Leigh, What's the spec of these please. Cheers. |

I thought you were doing something when I saw this one page 1! Chop chop! ;D Ha! Sober up Craig! As for specs on the alleycats, they're a set of 7x13's on the front and the one in the picture is an 8x13. Can't remember offset off hand and defo can't remember what that tyre was in the photo Needless to say, the Magnum is languishing in cold boredom still. No progress at all. None. Nil. Nada. |

Feck the two of you. 3 words for you then: POT KETTLE BLACK As much as I would love to have this done by summer (summer any year!) I have learned to be more realistic with my goals. Therefore, I will leave it as "I will get the car done"  |

If a job is worth doing its worth doing well (not that i ever do that myself) but all good things come to he that waits (that's bolloxs as well) either way Leigh.... ignore these people and get one with the car when you can......

^^What PB said - but what do you need now to finish Leigh? I can keep a look out for bits, or is it just time?
