Might be worth throwing down a full spec list in the advert... I know its a bit of a ballache typing it all out, but might tempt people a bit more if they can see exactly whats been done to the car and maybe some closer pics of the bad bits etc.


Cheers,
Grant

&1,didn't it have those lovely speedline/courtney sport style wheels on it?survived well over the years in all fairness.it's worth that for a conversion into a different shell if your not a big mk2 astra fan,which I am,although I'd love to put that into a mk1 gte or sr shell!!!!

I built my astra turbo not long after seeing this in revs. I remember the front grill. I think it was a cdi grill with a few of the bars cut out and painted white.

If I had £2500 I'd probably come and buy it as my first car was a 1400 mk2 that I'd gte'd up
how is it for frillyness rot and general scabbage? I remember mine being very rotty in all sorts of places and that was 7 years ago!
