My "sensible 1.7 Diesel Astra" never breaks down, that's why you always see me in it! And I'm never gonna grow up, ever.

Gary, when I bought the jeep it wasn't the most reliable thing on the road, and due to work/college I never had the spare time to fix it when stuff went wrong. That's where my bro came in. I share it with him now as payment, which is actually pretty good coz we can share the cost of mods too!

Aceritz just fitted my Sony MP3 player at the meet tonight, looks and sounds great. Bought it off Gary about a year ago and it's just been sitting in my room since!

Got a sticker number plate now and removed the old one to aid cooling, here's the latest pic:

And the new head unit:
[Linked Image]

Me and my bro have just worked out that this has parts taken from 7 different manufacturers! Including Suzuki (of course), Nissan, Vauxhall, Opel, Land Rover and Ford - the Ford parts had to be repaired before fitted though. The 7th one is some German motorbike manufacturer beginning with KR, can't remember what the name is though.

Been some time since I last updated this! Not much has changed, but it's spent a long time in sprayforce where Martin's been giving it some special attention. (Almost) all the rust has been eradicated from the arches and floor pan, and those arches have finally been fitted! My bro's done a bit of tidying to the final job and this is what she looks like now:

Wheels look a little smaller now though, will have to get some bigger ones soon. I'll try and get some cleaner pics soon too.
