    cheers mate i think it does to next on the list other than getting the cabelt done on the XE is to reseat the exhaurst and get the rear bumper resprayed. I also want to get rid of the round vaux badge off the boot lid to so mite ask one of you three with the corsa's who has a welder to weld a small round plate so i can flush it off.

    Well did some work on the astra last weekend mainly because the drivers window came off the runner.
    First job of the morning.


    Reason the window kept coming off was this is broken.


    Then a mate started playing around with his new toy lmao.
    me fitting the door card back on


    Good all done just look at it lmao.

    And the shots my mate did lmao.




    All done btw made a phone call to the local vauxhall place that white runner thing is £3.16 +vat so if anyone has a few spare just one please let me know thanx
