well iv finally finished the womans corsa off after she boiled the head on it :tard:
and now made a start on the new astra needs work on the front end from a side swipe by one of the previous owners but no to bad still all straight and true but its being stripped and all sorted out nicely :thumb: then either going pearl white or iv got some nice st orange paint :)
its currently running a 14nv lump that is being removed and a seh/ne is being dropped in and most likely being s/c'd if money permits but as it stands it a good base to start with and for £63.28p i cant complain at all lol :thumb:

i have tons of astra mk2 parts, the job lot on ebay atm has them all in!!!

give us a shout if you need anything.

think i have the rear lights as well :) + a blue bumper, mirrors and many other bits lol

and yeh bin the side skirts lol. and that is some impact on the wing. ouch

napalm_27

10-10-09, 02:01 PM

literally tore the wings clean off it was touching the passenger window thats why the mirror is missing luckily it only curled the inner wing down a little and the rest is straight so no need to worry about it just need to get some wheels on it to move it then its going in the garage or on the drive depending on what the old man lets me do :thumb:
