jake.

Weather is pretty sweet at the moment so hopefully it stays this way! Got the wheels on my chevette this morning so i'll be thurr should be fun

@michaelme yeah man that would be wicked! i'm expecting the wheels to be here on monday, latest tuesday so hopefully should be sweet. will let you know though cheers bro

I wish but i have a hunch that its not gunna get very far without wheels

Been meaning to come to one of these for ages now so i'll bring te chevette if my wheels arrive from japan in time

When is this months meet?

Any idea what shocks to use? im a total newb when it comes to suspension. Have no idea what to do with the bump stops either Thanks eddy, yeah the interior is mint, its got recaro fishnets in the front with the back seats recovered to match, new carpet, mint door cards and dash.

I actually want to lower it more! what i meant to say is that i like how low the back is but it looks too raised in the front, needs more slam haha. any suggestions how to get the front lower? from what i know its got gemini lowering springs in it all round.

Cheers man, yeah i'm not doing any more work to the motor as it is it runs freaking sweet, waaay quicker than my last chevette with the standard 1256 in it. just gunna leave it in there haha. I'll have to give him a call!

At this stage I want to get the guards rolled, put the bumpers back on ( the holes have been welded over before it was painted so im guessing i just have to redrill the holes somehow?), fix the handbrake as it rolls downhill even when its fully pulled up (it still feels tight tho so no idea whats going on?) and apparently the jets on the carb are too big so i need to change that., anyone know where i can get that done?. i took it into bygone autos on the shore and they just tuned it so it wasnt running rich or anything. still smells like it though ahha i think the starter motor may be stuffed as it makes funny noises when it turns over before firing up, hard to explain. allthough looking through all the receipts i have for the car it seems it was recond not too long ago.

From the top off my head heres the things that have been done to it so far: Rebuilt worked motor, don't know exact specs but larger pistons and a fast cam. Webber 45 sidedraft carb, Extractors, New carpets and headlining (sags though so i need to fix that), redone door cards and dash, mountney steering wheel i dont fancy that much Nice sounds with the amps hidden under a fake boot panel with the sub mounted flush (will have to take some pics so you know what i mean) What i think are gemini lowering springs (judging by how the back is quite a bit lower than the front, i want to fix this somehow so if you have any suggestions let me know in the discussion thread at the bottom( Recond gbox and new clutch, lightened flywheel, All the rust taken out and resprayed to be close to the original goldish bronze whatever color they came out in Pretty big exhaust that goes straight through with 2 cobys, one small, one bigger. That's all i can think of for now, heres the discussion thread //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/44256-jakes-1980-vauxhall-chevette-discussion/

Hey guys feel free to talk shit here/give me advice. I have lots of questions so shout out if you know anything about these gr8 cars haha

Hey everyone this is my 2nd chevette, I've had it since roughly the start of the year. I bought it of the guy that had it as a sort of unfinished project. anyways ive got it all back on the road now and have sold my wheels and bought some ssr mk1s from japan for it. they should be here in a couple of weeks now i thought since ive got it sitting on blocks in the garage it would be a good time to get some stuff done/finished on it. heres a crappy picture and a picture of the wheels i got for it to replace the xxrs it came on.
