Its a GM colour, I was looking at getting a proper bumper paint from the era, but it's nls, so got another paint that's close, and had it mixed with a percentage of satin agent etc.Quote:

Looks great with the plough fitted!
I agree it did look great at Billing, nice stance and slightly different to the norm.
Cheers Simon, still un happy with a few things, I've got some inspiration again, and I'm setting my sights high for next year now..Quote:

Ps: dose your mate want John Holdcrofts telephone number for the sport?
Gaz short bodies look ideal for lowness with comfort, I'd love a set of those.
I'll point him at the forum to get in contact that way if I can talk him into getting it and get rid of the Metro tat lol
So......... Don't you hate it when you got to re tax a car and find your mot ran out lol
It expired on Friday, so it's in the garage tonight for one, then it's getting taxed and insured ready for retro rides.
Astra is on sorn as I can't afford to do both lol
Saloon will be getting a proper advert once I find time, as I'm getting pissed off with time wasting via Facebook etc, might place it on here, but so far not getting any serious offers..
So I'll end up ebaying it..
I'll keep the hatch as it's almost like part of me now lol, but I don't really have any enthusiasm for novas and no plan to ever own another, I would like to flog the Astra too and ideally get something like a bmw or something nice, yet rwd..
Mot passed, just advised on slight play on rear wheel bearing..
So mot/6mnts tax, insurance and on the road for a total of....
£298 lol my Astra mk4 cost £270 just to tax it..
knock knock...
whos there....
BIG BLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
