My perfect Sunday...
« on: 07 February 2012, 22:42:19 »

Took a few pictures Sunday just gone, and I thought I's share them with you all...

Decided to crack on and strip the engine down on my 2.6 V6 breaker, despite the heavy snow fall and chilly temperatures (my neighbours think I'm nuts!!!)...







It makes removing head bolts a little more tricky when you have to dig out the ice first...  :D



The accident damaged 2.2 is almost ready for it's final journey...  :'(



My 3.2 Elite and SWMBO's Vectra C 2.2 dti SRi...



And finally, my faithful old Cavalier 1.7TD...

Yeah I did have a little play with the kit, and I'm actually quite looking forward to doing it for real now!  You can see the locking kit black plastic box on top of my makeshift workbench.  :y

I like the badging on the back of the Cavalier...made me laugh  ;D
You've certainly shown some dedication to the Omega cause working in that snow, at least it reminds me never to drop in and leave an Omega unattended...or you'll have it in bits.

Very keen indeed , although i find it a bit warmer working in snow  ;D Stripping it down does give loads of tips on how things are fixed and fitted in the bay  :y

I think your neighbours are right  ;) ;) ;D ;D

When it comes to doing your cam belt, you know I'm always willing to give some moral support/help out :y :y

Do those steel wheels on the scrapper come back home with you afterwards? I might be after a set of steels in the future ::)

Cheers for all the comments guys!  :)

The old Cav does draw a few smiles from fellow motorists!  I get people taking photos of it with their phones when behind me at the lights!  ;D

Very keen indeed , although i find it a bit warmer working in snow  ;D Stripping it down does give loads of tips on how things are fixed and fitted in the bay  :y

Agreed, it always feels milder after the snow has fallen, and I don't really feel the cold too much anyway.  :)

I think your neighbours are right  ;) ;) ;D ;D

Do those steel wheels on the scrapper come back home with you afterwards? I might be after a set of steels in the future ::)

Cheers Paul, I'll maybe organise a mini-cambelt meet and get a few of em done while we are at it!  ;D

The steelies do come back with me yeah.  I'll certainly bare you in mind if they become surplus to requirements.  :y

Excellent!

How's the DTi Vectra going?


It's going really well thanks Andy.  I've discovered it needs a few bushes sorting out, but it seems Vectra C's do suffer from this.  It's also had a minor coming together with the gate post, thanks to SWMBO, but we're not allowed to talk about that!  :-X ::)

Love the estate wheels :y

I was intending to keep my new wheels under wraps for the time being, but I guess the cat is out of the bag now...  :-[

Since my new wheels have been spotted, I thought I'd put a bit better photo of them up...   :y

I think they look superb Twigs. Very tasteful imo, which is unusual for non standard wheels. :y
Surprised your selling the standard wheels though.Thought you would have kept them for whenever you sell the car. :-\
