Damn I want rear disk brakes so much it hurts...and you have all the toys.

I have a bad case of envy.

Trade you a Lotus for him.

Hehe... Hard to come by those rear disks.. Fortunately I'm a member of a Norwegian Opel club Opel Motorsport Club where they seem to know where to get just about anything.

Just ordered parts from GT Source, as I'm renovating the flip lights.

They turned out to be damaged beyond repair.. But by some miracle I actually managed to get two NEW lock\turn boxes for the flip lights... from the guy I bought the car from..

Lately I've:

- Fitted MAT(air temp for the ECU) sensor
- Removed 30 kg of rust ? In the area around the flip lights.
- Fitted rear view camera & monitor, as the roll bar and rear spoiler makes it impossible to see out the back, not to mention the tiny engleman mirrors... :P
- Fitted wheel speed sensor on the front left brake disk.



Plans are:

- Change seal on gearbox, where the axle enters, it's leaking oil.
- Weld new inner wheel arches on both sides, and remove some other rusty spots in the front, weld new holders for the flip light boxes.
- Move the brake master cylinder 2 cm down, because the bar for the flip lights touch the brake fluid reservoir.
-Fit H-4 BI-Xenon(HID) kit.
-Get it road legal.

I want to:

1) Get mine on the road.
2) Get mine on the road, oh, and
3) Get mine on the road.
