@@lukebrown6454 100%, I try to do as much as I can myself. The aim is to inspire everyone who watches to try it themself as it’s not as hard as people make it out to be (well, sometimes 😂)
BRILLIANT VIDEO DAVE THANKS FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION DAVE I HAVE THAT SHUTTER SHUT SPACE HEATER ON 😀 SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE BLUE VAUXHALL IN THE GARAGE TILL YOU GOT THE BITS OF IT 😊
@@ANDY-we7mr lol I know, plan for the next video is to get the red one running again so it can come in/out easily to give more space to push the blue one in when I need parts from it 😂👍🏻
Hi Dave, great video from yourself again. Really appreciate watching yourself working around cars then, hope that you didn't have much damage with the Storm on Friday? Hope that everyone is keeping good health here. Looking forward too watching the next video this weekend coming again.
@@johnreid7904 thanks John! Yeah we didn’t have too much damage from the storm. Hopefully have the next video out this week but I’ve been pretty busy with my job so it may have to be next weekend if I don’t get enough time between now and Sunday 👍🏻
All the way from South Africa , enjoying your content especially this built because this is my dream car, A.K.A Opel Astra OPC. It gives me hope that there are some examples that are still saved out there after the crash. I hope you overcame the storm in the U.K . I cannot wait to see the end result. Catch you on the next one.
Another thoroughly enjoyable vid Dave, nice one buddy. Can't tell you how great it is to see you're back. The most important thing is.... that bloody strip light is now living it's best life again 😂. One small suggestion for you buddy, will this be the year that you do a bit more to camera ? I understand privacy and all that, but it's great for your audience to put a face to the voice, it makes you more relatable and I'm sure will push your subscriptions to the next level. Hope this doesn't overstep the mark, it's not meant to.👍
@@ianlowe5221 thanks dude! Tbh, I’ve been toying with that idea for some time, I’ll try doing it facing the camera in a coming video and if I don’t like it, I just won’t upload 😂👍🏻
@@eamonkelly2792 lol I can’t wait to stop having seizures every time I edit 😂. Yeah all good here other than a fence that decided to give up lol. Hope u and urs are all safe 👍🏻
@DaveRebuilds yeah all good thanks, no power or water since Friday, about 17 tree's had to be removed from the road, we just got our phone signal back but apart from that all good thanks
@@paultaylor9652 lol, I’m already scouting out my next project, but will need to likely sell the astra first so may have to make some detailing videos to fill the gaps 😂
@@Steven85-8i yeah but not quite as fast progress as I’d like! Yeah the weather was pretty bad here too, but grateful nothing was badly damaged, hope everything was ok at yours as well 👍🏻
@@MrNrn123 I am indeed mate, I’m putting together a price list just now for the bits, so will be in the description of the next video! All the prices will be negotiable tho 👍🏻
superman spec 🔴🔵 Were you by any chance able to check if the wiring loom allowed for fog lights? I went to Vauxhall the guy I spoke to wasn't sure but he said he recalled that from factory there were two specs for the VXR, one that came with basic halogens front lights and a xenon upgrade which used a different loom. Unfortunately my car has the naf yellow halogens but I was able to swap out the DLR bulbs with LEDS with no warnings on the dash.
@@DaveRebuilds yes those are standard xenon lights. The AFL lights look so much sharper but the annoying thing is that they are not plug and play. Completely different wiring loom. Managed to get our one working at the end
@@johnmontgomery6508 you just proved you are a badge snob in your comment there is no escaping from that and im not surprised you own a DSG, those are for people who cant drive. It felt good beating a BMW M4 F82 around a few B Roads the other week. Ahhh and lets not forget that Golf R MK7.5 I humiliated twice
@ ok cool, out of interest, is it the high tempo parts are to “busy” or was it just the music choice? Thank you, I appreciate it, I also appreciate the feedback 😃
It was the choice and volume of the music. It made it very hard to follow the vlog. For my taste it should be a bit softer and merely back ground music. Cheers again.
@ yeah no worries, thanks for the feedback! It’s always a balance between keeping it entertaining but not being a 90s rave 😂, will mellow out the tunes for next time 👍🏻
Did we mention get that garage light fixed. 😆. Good video
@@stegradon7827 it’s fixed, it’s fixed 😂👍🏻
I like this channel because we can all do it without the help the rest get, not taking nothing away from others this generally genuine

Great method of working Scottie, try not to disappear for so long after this project.

I was actually watching this video thinking you should make some merch then you put that clip up at the end 😂
@@jordankerry6387 lol, I’ll start to look in to it 😃👍🏻
@ have you found a toy yet 😀
Taking shape quite nicely now bud
@@michaelstevens7533 getting there, slowly but surely 😂👍🏻
Hello Dave still good progress on the 2 VXR Astras,shopping parts over when you can.the weather was terrible here.
@@Steven85-8i yeah but not quite as fast progress as I’d like!
Yeah the weather was pretty bad here too, but grateful nothing was badly damaged, hope everything was ok at yours as well 👍🏻

Sorry dude, I completely forgot!! I’ll check it next time I’m out there 👍🏻 I’d bet both of the cars I have are the standard halogens tho
Vxr did not have the wiring for front fog lights

Great job shame its a vauxhall 😁
@@johnmontgomery6508 ouch 😂😂👍🏻
shame? you are not a car enthusiast if you're a badge snob. Would rather have this than any DSG german hatchback which does everything for you

@@asifnoaman8978 not a snob your one or another ford or vauxhall and im not vauxhall 😉 and funny you say dsg i have 2 of those🤣

Enjoyed the update, however the backing music is so annoying. Had to watch without volume. Cheers
@@bigphilswheels any song in particular? Or all of them?
The high tempo stuff in the middle. Awful. But love the content. 👍👍
