i`ve won this fooker twice before but reserve not met Sad this time he finally pulled his finger out and listed a buy it now price,slightly more than i wanted to pay but opel classics wanted £90 odd quid even with free delivery to billing Sad

anyway this finishes off the outside parts on GTM i think Confused

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4641016557&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

as i already have brand new gm unopened white front corners,white rear bumper,white rear corners,new front washer overriders ( cheers nrj ),new lucas 20/20 rally lights that i finally sourced after being bumped on ebay earlier in the year on a set although i got a refund from paypal,new rally lamp brackets

then the panels i need for the outside aswell are already here which include a brand new gm bonnet,tailgate,wings,gte vinyl graphics and wing stickers,front grill badges,headlights,taillights,rear fog lights ( cheers nrj again ),indicators and even a brand new top tint gm gte windscreen ( cheers lee )

i also have some of the rally stickers new including brand new lombard rac rally door number squares and even replica rally plates i had made big grin

as you can tell it should be stunning with all the other internal parts and engine parts including gm new suspension arms etc i have brand new here over 350 i think new and original gm parts and i know i need to pull my finger out but i still need that fookin front x member and n/s rear suspension cup so a cry for help again please,please help me get these.thankyou Razz

yeah jacko a front centre section,very difficult it was to find,opel classics have none although thorsten located me one eventually but he couldn`t discount it so i said not to bother buying it,i`m glad i got this one reasonably priced i suppose,beggars can`t be choosers and i really want that just out the factory look for GTM rather than parts restored look where possible Confused

so far i`m succeeding but fook is it expensive buying all this stuff,a few more bits and pieces to get,get my kadett sold to gain extra garage space and bob`s your uncle GTM transformation will begin including full strip down,bare metal respray and rebuild for the 2007 shows cool

total vauxhall were well quick of the mark with a feature offer when they found out so that`s already sorted,i`ve got big plans for that if i can pull it off and T.V agree but i am hoping that the original driver,co driver and mechanic will come for a reunion shoot,and so far the original mechanic has aggreed and he thinks the others will be up for it too once contacted cool ,just have to find a good location but i thought maybe millbrook testing facility as we have photos of her there in 1984,i`m not to keen on the driver if he aggrees taking her a blast down a forest due to damage but a run on a tarmac track will be fine if he wants cool
