Tis true sean does look alot worse and I've seen alot worse. The car is solid all over just that foot well and the line across the bulkhead.
The van was in TV a couple of years back before I owned it.

It will be at Retro Gathering next year even though it only 4 days after my wedding, I've got the go ahead of the missus to come along and yes the stance will be better and slightly modified when its back on the road. All will be revealed |

Been ages since I updated this. Not alot has happened but the car is back and ready to go back together, but as my garage is 6miles from my house and has not power and only just enough room to get the van in, its difficult to get the motivation to work on it. When the weather gets better then its all hands on deck to get this ready for the summer... Car back together with some primer   Thats about all for now as the rest of the pics show more than i want people to see at the moment. So you will have to wait until it hits the road |

As with all the comments yes this was a feature car in Total Vauxhall and all I can say is that the car was in a very bad way and the pics don't show how annoyed I was with it. The curse word workmanship was unreal how it ever got an MOT is beyond me, how's four floor pans on top of each other all rusted for a nice repair, the list goes.
It did nearly end up in the scrap yard. But we got there in the end and it will be back.

Was my old daily now got a IS200, but my old amn owns the vectra now. Yeah car did look good in pics when it was featured but they didn't show what was under all that nice paint. |
