Ive had a history with this car. It was my first car when i was 17. I bought her standard. and i sold her when i was 20 to some mupet who never looked after her. I had speedlines, digidash, lowered on JAMEX (remember them???) suspension etc

I bought her back and she was in a sorry state. Spotted her in the autotrader and travelled to the ends of the country. I sold it for ?3750 back in 1999 i bought her back for ?250 thats how bad a condition it was in.

But i restored her to her former glory. Sorry about the pics but i just finished building it back up tonight in my shed.

Its still not finished as the original tailgate has still to go and and get its vinyl on the back. Steering wheel is going back to standard as i think a GSI should be.

nah mate. I have to buy them again. They came with astra GSI alloys on.

I realy dunno. Im selling it as i dont like it. Along with the smoothed boot. I prefer the standard look with the GSI spoiler.

Im gonna play about with the coilovers. Never had time to do that tonight.

Big change of plans. Just fitted the Sri 130 engine and im hauling it out. I bought a cavvy turbo engine for her.

Just bought and engine stand so i can strip it down in the shed and rebuild it. The nova engine bay is getting some nice clean up treatment as well.

Looking forward to getting her on the road.

Yeah thats nice, good plans with the engine too ;)

As for the spoiler-not my cup of tea-I prefer them without a spoliler.
