Thanks for the comments lads.
So iv booked in to tynagh on the 8th get a bit more driving done, hopefully with no problems
Haven't done anything with the brakes as yet,
I have fitted an electric powersteering pump from an astra all plumbed and mounted, just need to wire it up properly and heat shield it.
As the original pump is removed I have a shorter belt to go on but needed to modify the tensioner so I removed the self tensioner and will replace the spring with a solid stainless unit so that should see it all finished and running.
It's a pretty straight forward swap most awkward thing was making a mount for it.
While I was at the tensioner I decided I'd make up a new gear lever as the current one was a bit last minute, not that user friendly and a bit shit looking.
That's pretty much where it's at right now.
New gear knob, solid tensioner and wiring for pump
Astra pump fitted
Excellent work done here and looks great..
Spent a few hours at this today.
Sorted out some of the niggly bits that annoyed me and degrease the engine bay after a power steering pipe decided to let go.
It was running a bit lean after the last day out so had a look into it, vacuum hose had cracked, replaced it and it was on the button luckily as my knowledge is limited.
Took a pic aswell that I liked so I said I'd post it
Need to get my bumpers on and an extra seat and harness fitted them she is good to go for tynagh.
