well after a couple of weeks
a couple of offers for it
and a fair few purchases I thought we should go back to the start  
 
 
Lets actually DRIVE the car for the first time. 
so after 4 hours in the vectra today I took Clive for a drive  

It starts, it moves, forwards at the second attempt, the linkages are goosed.  

all gears work  

it stops, eventually  

it steers ( or it could be classed as wallows )  

Tickover is high, think the carb needs overhauling / replacing  

so, tomorrow will be tinkering day
The Apec springs and Boge shocks i picked up from Vaughn ( cheers again ) look nearly new, so just gotta find out how low it actually is
