Spent two days cleaning out scuttle and drain plugs searching for my leak, think I've found it coming in through the brake pedal at the back of the servo , so I think that's gotta come out to reseal it.

Good to see you haven't given up yet Kelvin, keep at it.  Are you a fully paid up member yet?

Not givingup no way,  yeah paid membership up about 2 month back so hope to see some faces to put to names on Saturday.

Nice job.  I cannot make it as I am on holiday.

Can someone in admin move this thread to the members projects area please?

HELP!! Need a bit of grounding , I've got the chance of buying an opel ascona y reg, do I buy it and breaking for spares or do I buy it and do it up or is it to much to take on while I'm doing the lx , any advice would be greatly appreciated. ..

Pictures, colour condition Kelvin! Then we can help!

It's probably gold right?!

Yeah its gold, but lost the original post so can't find the pics, it's down Romford way somewhere, have just been informed that it might have been damaged on front before , the rear offside wheel arch has completely disappeared and the inner looks rough.

I'f you do get it, orwin will live on through any panels that are still good you don't need if it's not saveable. Up to date pics would be good to assess if it is.. and technically - @Greg everything is.. but sometimes it's not so sane / practical!

Back from my hols......currently trapped a nerve in my neck so that has meant the same progress to my projects as before....nadder

Kelvin, as Andy says anything is savable, its whether its for economic or emotional reasons.  Mk2s have historically only be restored / saved for emotional reasons, but the tide is turning a little.

Ouch not nice having a trapped nerve hope you feel better soon greg, have decided not to get the ascona , am now not in a position to do the work on it and the  cav.

I'm gonna take the dash out tomorrow and then I'm gonna take a video of the state of it all after I've removed the wings, if I can attach it on here I will do so you can all see thecondition of the car now. I'm really considering breaking it now because every job I try and do ends up to have been attempted already , half the wiring was disconnected behind the dash and some of the nuts were missing, once the soundproofing comes out I'll nook at the state of the bulkhead if it's rusted it's game over.

Kelvin, have a look at my Gregs LX back story......its not over till its over......well till its not ;¬)

Fingers crossed its not too bad

Ok Greg, will do where do I find it?
