ive been working with this lad for a year now and recently found out his brother in law has a redtop gsi sat on his drive!i went for a look round it and went out in it!it goes well, its been of the road for 3years but the same owner has had it for 13years since it had 13.000 miles now its got 95,000 ish i think!its white and generally needs a good tidy up!its got a brand new box and lots of other bits!he wants atleast £800 just thoght would let you guys no as i cant get insured for less tham £3500 and this other kid just wants the engine and then to strip!but its too good!safe it please ...somebody?

Whats the overall condition of it? The rear arches funked yet?

[retrimmer-oz]

its good mate it does need a good polish as its white but faded!back arches need blowing in as he repaired them and then just put them in white primer on about an inch up on both sides!front grill and bumper ideally need spraying!little bit of wear on drivers bolster otherwise interior is all good!its got a s/s exhaust magnex if i remember correctly!

I had one. Best car i ever had.
I was insured with admiral at 21 years old with 3 years NCB. It was £500

[retrimmer-oz]

yeh i mean i was meant to be getting it couple of weeks back but then only one place would insure me!im only 18 with 1year ncb!gutted as i love them

Sounds a shame to break it up, personally i wouldnt, they fetch good money if its as good as you say it is.

For some reason Astras were never as popular as the Cavs round here, that said, I have 2 GSi's at the minute but i dont like them. They're too big and awkward for a 3dr Hatch. Arches and fuel fillers are notorious for rust but essentially its a 3dr Cav with a funny front and rear. For £800 its well worth the money.

i had a white astra gsi was a good car i liked it was gutted when i sold it:cry:

The mk3 Astra GSi is possibly the best looking Vauxhall from the showromm IMO.

Shame if gets broken but lets face it, its likely rotten & they hide a lot of it. I've seen some really grotty mk3 GSi's & they looked OK on the outside.

[General Baxter]

ill say it, whys it been modified with a nova engine? lol

[retrimmer-oz]

ive had a good look inside and out all the sills are ok!inner arches ok little hole in drivers footwell floor!engine bay all solid needs good clean up tho!

[shy witness]

i quite like these myself.

infact i almost bought a red 1 last year.....but i was actually looking for a decent gsi cavalier at the time.

i'm glad i held off though..............as i got a cavalier turbo instead a month or 2 later.


much more street cred................and my thing.

that cars probabaly worth 800 quid though mate...........like alotta other original performance vauxhalls...theyre starting to get very scarce.

[retrimmer-oz]

i done think im going to get it i just cant be doing with all that insurance!if i bought it to sell i know i would not be able to sell it when its done so defonatley getting another nova instead!gte me thinks!

[retrimmer-oz]

but anybody intersted let me know!:)
