Default Unloved GSi resto! only running on 5 poor thing.

I've broke to many Vectra's so this time i'm keeping one alive!
I bought this on 24/04/09

The car in question is a preface GSi thats had a very hard life.

The problems list

Engine running on five - FIXED NEW COIL PACK & LEADS 25/04
Massive oil leak - CHECKED, ITS THE OIL COOLER SHOT 25/04
Gear selector shot - ADJUSTED FOR NOW 25/04
3rd gear crunches
Engine bay utterly filthy
Front bumper badly damaged
Headlight cracked
Indy cracked
Grill smashed
Bonnet badly dented on edge - SWAPPED FOR GOOD BONNET 25/04
Both front arch liners wrecked
Front wing not lined up correctly
All wheels a total mess
Doors have car park dinks
Rear bushes don't exsist
Powerflow backbox, enough said
Two bold tyres
Number plates split
Aircon not working
Interior needs major valet
Cup holder discoloured
Boot trim damaged

The good bits

Has MSD label with clear number
Pretty much original
lowish miles 89k
Interior in good condition

The only reason i've took this on is simply down to the fact i've got pretty much every Vectra spare part known to man and have panels in the right colour!



I will post some pics of the engine bay and other bad bits asap as otherwise i'll forget what it looked like.

Shout out to Ben for helping today he just loves breaking/fixing anything Vectra

Fair play to you for taking this on mate.

I do have a soft spot for pre-face's.

Nice little project, with lowish miles
