Comments: Bought this GT in January, off some fucker in the dark, and somehow confused a rocker cover gasket leak, with a head gasket, this went so I took it off the road. Decided as it had done 120k, and been driven hard to replace the engine and various bits.

Probably selling it soon, will be 21 in october, so its G40 time!

Will add more to this when I can be bothered, some more to mention but I cba for now!

looks good tho

tidy spec, and nice to see a car thats obviously been taken care of when it came off the road.

what year and model did the vectra brakes come off fella, or were they an ebay rather than a scrappy jobbie, I've gotta hunt myself out a set for the golf and where did you get the shoulder bolts from.

cheers mucker

Cheers guys, yeah will sort out more pictures!

Brakes are off any 16v vauxhall, 91ish onwards, mine were off a calibra, but same as vectras, or cavs etc, got the shoulder bolts from www.wdsltd.co.uk, cost me 11quid.
