I was offered an astra the other day and i went and picked the keys up today.
Ive got no pic's at the mo but it's another pink (red) mrk3 astra diesal not sure on the engine size.
Also im not sure what im going to do with it yet but it was free and still mot'd till the end of july so maybe worth a few pennys once on ebay.
I will get some pic's once ive picked it up over the weekend.

Might be lucky and find its a TD Izuzu lump.

it's not a td mate i know that much as couldnt see a turbo on it.
It looks like a vauxhall engine in there mate.
It also need a new steering lock/barrel/key as it got drilled.

Im going to rob the tow bar off it for my astra so it will save bunging crap in the boot as we have a little trailer at home that it will tow fine.

well it only takes a good look around wile out and about.
Just keep an eye out for cars on peoples drives that havnt moved for a wile as thats all i do.
Then all it takes is a knock on there front door and ask if there getting rid of the (whatever car it is) and if they are not sure just offer to leave your contact number with them.
At the worse they will tell you to bugger off.
Im picking up the astra over the weekend and in return ive got to drop a lawn mower off at the auction house as he doesnt want it in his new audi a4.
The auction house is down the road from my lockup so i will drop it off strait from the boot of his astra then drop the car at the lockup.
Sorted.
