Another Project

[Chris]

I have got a queue of projects now. Got my Astra Mk2 Cabby 2.5 V6, Nova to re-build over winter and tommorrow morning I pick up a nice little Chevette 1300 :lol:

Mint body work, mint interior, dont know about the underneath and running gear though but it only cost me ?100 with logbook. The beast is an S-reg, will get pics up tomoz.

Dont know what to do with it though, I am wanting large power due to it being RWD, cos it should be fun. Any one done or seen these classics modded or got any pics.

Will update tomoz

I was thinking that mate but dont want to start cutting bulkhead and transmission tunnel to get it in. I might just get it on the road and have it as a classic. Depends on what state it is all in when i get it on the ramp in the morning LOL But V6 would be nice. TBH i cant justify spending that sort of money on it though. Rather spend it on me astra

[J4MES]

bit off post but do you have any pics of your astra???

[Chris]

yes mate. With thanks to the master epo himself

lol, have you striped it or was the chevette likethatwhen you bought it?

[Chris]

I bought the astra as a complete car. It is stripped to have new rear arches and a colour change. The chevette is a complete car (apart from the holes in sills and inner wings). So I have got plenty on work to keep me out of mischief

Chris

[Dpnova]

You can take on my car as a project if you want and then when its finished give it back to me :D

[-Bruce-]

[Chris]

the chevette looks to be breeze blue (?) I am going to do it to standard. Needs loads of welding (new sills, rear arches, front inner wings), the interior is mint and engine is really tidy. Will try and get some pics up soon but I am having camera trouble at the moment

Chris

[srs1]
