First thing i did was have a good look and see what the engine
it was, sold to me as a c20xe but as i was looking and cleaning the number i seen
20xe and cream injectors coscast head to :) very nice..
come with power cap and manual fuel pressure regulator:)


Nice blue carpet and sri seats uncut door cards.astra gte clocks.
Body work is not that bad it has had a respray at some point in her life, its a mint finish but its start cracking on the the bumpers and at the side of the vents and sunroof.?
anyways engine bay was a wright mess.

Seen this on gumtree a few times recently, it was advertised in Scotland then a few weeks later appeared down south.


Pretty sure it was let_nova that was selling it up here.

[Gibbo]

[bazzap8389]

Arsed cleaning that mess up lol car looks good what's your plans?

[Archie]

ye lad who i got it of told me it was from scotland was hopeing some of here had it.Get some more info on it

let_nova is banned from the forum so doubt you'll get much out of him lol

[Novaload_Nick]

Get some more pics of the car with them wheels :) I was looking at getting some

[grooge]

it was for sale a few times around the motherwell wishaw area last summer. i remember it cos my sr plate ends sfr aswell lol i'm sure it was on the those alloys you've just put on it when it was up for sale then aswell, defos not the alloys you got it with when i saw it anyway

[scott.parker]

Not saying this about the car you just bought, but me personally I won't buy an already converted or modified car without already seeing or knowing it's history, eg when I sold my old track car all the build was available for all to see etc.
But that's just me.

Looks alright, just hope you don't find any hidden surprises..

[Gibbo]

lol
I know what you are saying there scott.lets hope so.but id make a good nova with the parts onit.I just want to see like some build pics etc..you can tell it was a mint car in the day just been stood for time.

my plan are to get it looking nice new bumper bonnet new dash new roof lineing new sunroof
still need to get bonnet cable to work.bonnet dont shut wright because hitting the wires they go to the ecu.also the front end to line up right for some reason i have to undo the front wing to get the passenger side indicator to fit and even the its tricky.

[Gibbo]
