great looking car. would look better without the opel badge on the boot.

thanks man. yeah i was originally going to remove it but now i feel it ties in nicely with the badges. i might take it off cos i can always stick it back on again sure

[Compton]

true man thats the thing, you'd even get one for a tenner when you need it back on, the colour has to be one of the best available for the car

[Ardennes1944]

moonland, it is a nice colour and much easier to keep 'clean' than my black astra was.

Facelifted lights make an awful difference! It's like going for orange to clear indicators, always makes a huge difference!

I was off Monday and Tuesday so feck all got done to the car.

Went to gather together the parts for the bottom end reassembly and I'm missing my two new crank thrust washers, it'll be Tuesday before Honda can get them for me, I could reuse the old ones but why risk it over a €20 part and a few more days waiting.

Getting closer now though and there's an end in sight

Could you pm me with a detailed summary of what your in the process of doing and the power you had/have? Are you changing the top and bottom half?

I'm getting my B18 bottom end soon to go with the head rebuild!

Did manage a 20 minute brake caliper reassembly though as a quick fix to a refurb kit!

I was in a b18 tonight.....not bad, not bad at all

Trying to find a decent bottom end is like trying to find rocking horse sh1te so budget for rings/bore/hone

If your seals are gone in the calipers get them done asap

I'm getting the seal kits tomorrow and gonna do them straight away!


Also, the bottom end will be fully rebuilt including polished crank before it even lets my head touch it
