been hooked on old vauxhalls since i was a wee sperm, i remember seing one of the first nova redtop conversions in max power when i could hardly read and have wanted one ever since! also loved the astra gte's as i got a lot of history with that car, so the last 4 years ive been collecting projects that basically im gonna keep till im old and greylol im in no rush to finish them as im sure the more the years roll on these little babies are going to be worth a pretty penny, only time will tell, anyways heres what ive got at the mo, and there could be another little beauty joining the pack next week:) its the first time some of these have been seen for years!

f reg mark 1, 22k full s/h, now with buckets, race tank/pump early redtop, mocal oil cooler, new rad, new astley hoses, new mtech conversion kit, new bilstein b12's, mint originall dash and headling, not fully striped out yet as i want to bring this back to original condition eventually

brand new mk2 gte shell, unstamped, still in factory primer with original factory part number stickers still in place. im going to build this back up into an original 16v with the odd upgrade to improve handling and braking etc

saw this little beut on the bay, turned out the fella lived 5 mins from me so went and had a look and he took my first offer! msa lob booked shell, an unbelievable amount of work has gone into this car, it really has to be seen to be appriciated, wide arch kit, full rollcage, full poly windows, fiberglass boot and bonnet, not to sure what im going to do with this yet, might go up for sale once its had a god spruce up

Nah guess not, langley in maidstone is just up the road from me, but theres a very similar mk1 nova about.
Very nice though, i'd love that black wide arched gte if you ever wanted to sell?

ok, think i jynxed myself here, had a call from the landlord today, i have to move into a smaller yard as someone has offered him twice what im paying for the one im currently in:wtf: :( i cant compete with that rate so the fella has said i have to move into the workshop behind but dont have to pay as much which isnt too bad, but it will mean ill have to get rid of a couple of motors:mad: which is not good, the black nova and the red astra a first to go so keep a look out in the for sale thread soon, open to offers but in no real rush to sell as i can just keep them outside under car covers, i dont really want to but needs must
