Its not too bad, just have a dremel and lots of cutting discs handy (to get the rusted bolts off), goggles and mask (to stop you getting rust in your eyes throat, not nice trust me) and a decent ratchet set with lots of extension bars/universal joints etc.

or take the clam off. ;)

I'm not so worried about the exhaust, but I've heard the manifold can be a right PITA!

nice to see you progressing nicely :) i wouldnt worry too much about the manifold, yes it was a PITA but removing the old stuff is the hardest, the new stuff just drops straight in lol

manifold was a bit fiddly, just not much room to get a spanner on. mine wasnt too hard its just time consuming especially a 0 degrees when your fingers stopped working

Your car is looking good! thumbsup

And the carbon centre console (turned out to be more of a PITA than expected :rolleyes:) together with a new gearknob and handbrake handle :)

May I ask where you got the new handbrake handle from?

The Opel dealership in Portugal said they couldn't get them anymore...

Great, I really am stuck! My car came with a tacky aftermarket one and I can't find an original one!

How much do you want for it?
