Small update, bought some red leather gaiters and got the engine out ready to paint the engine bay, will get pictures later

Engine out, need to remove a few more things then will paint the bay and fit my C14NZ engine.

Got some CDX Alloys fitted will be powdercoated white eventually.

Started to polish up my spark plug tubes as they looked a bit scabby.

Few bits I have to fit: Debadged grille, Delocked door handles, astra mk3 steering wheel and astra clear side repeaters.

While you have it striped you should take off the anti roll bar and wishbones and clean them up and give them a paint, you could fit some polybushes if there within budget

Was thinking whiteline antil roll bar and polybush the lower arm and tie bars

Post by **johnny** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 10:09 pm

Definitely take the tie bars off and sand them and paint them, there serious for rust, mostly surface but eventually surface rust turns to rot

Thanks for the advice mate, I am going to order some new lower arms and polybushes and ill pull the tie bars off tomorrow and sand them down
