    What a shame

    Its funny to me, the Life cycle of Cars:

    1) New
    2) > 5 years - Used
    3) >10 years - Old
    4) >15 years - Very Old
    5) >20 years - Trash with wheels
    6) 24 years - Carbon
    7) >25 years - DIAMOND

    Pic from other angle:



    At that time we were discussing about a kind of road trip, so while thinking were to go, we started the refurbishment of the Car: new tyres, new coolant (with radiator change), oil & filter, timing belt and due to some mornings car used to start at 3 cylinders, we decided to change head gasket too.

    Unfortunately I have no pics of this process, but I have of the breaking-in period:



    It was January - Febreaury 18'.

    I remember painting the lower half of the car black just like you have there with my first Nova back in 1995!
    Also did the b pillars and the strip across the back of the boot (like a GTE) in black paint too.

    I like the astra wheels, looking good!
