good job mate,
Are you putting them carbs on ? .
See my sunvisor's looking good in the background.
Awesome bodywork skills fella! Engine's looking cool aswell.
:thumb:
That engine is class mate, should be nice to drive. High lift cam with it too?
What astra engine did that carb come off? I thought they all had Pierburg 2E3's.
Its a old astra 1300S inlet, proper old skool.
Looking good :)
See I've got a mk2 astra 13S engine in the garage too buts got a pierburg 2e3 carb :confused: .Quote:

Sorry for going off topic!
edit - maybe it was just 2E, not '2e3'.
1300S is a mk1 astra iirc.
Mk2's had same engine as novas
