I sold my mk3 astra gsi about a month ago was gutted to see it go.
Keep a keen eye on the back end, they rot faster than oil rigs!!! Lovely example, you were dead right!

It is indeed... my neighbour lol
If the tc starts to cut in all the time then the light stays on remove fuse 15 and the light will never come back on.It was the only way we managed to get mine to stay off.
Nice car mate.
My old car.

I love the Astras but they were never as common as the GSi or SRI 16v Cavs though. I have 2 at the minute, and I think they're spot on. I love the colour of yours though, very very nice!!
BTW, 5 stud conversions on there are so so so easy to do.

Indeed, fcuking good cars. That one i 3.0l cam'd, it was a bloody animal, oil changes every 6k, sold it with 72k on the clock, it went to scotland and now it lives in wales:cry:
LOL, My 1st was an SE SRi Hatch, never got oil, serviced or looked after, was purely for abuse and never let me down, until the chassis leg borke in 2!! But it never missed a beat and never let me down until then.

looks very good mate, as the car should say "made in england" on the vin plate id put vaux badges back on.. i allways loved the diamond metalic black gsi's but the spectral blue has really grown on me.
recently converted my mates spectral blue GSi to f28 and C20LET.
i used to have a diamond met black GSi which was turbo, spent loads on that thing. in the end i broke it and scrapped the shell due to rot. heres a couple pics..
