love the 888 astra , best of the bunch, much more road presence than the gsi, looks like you will have enough room for the rebuilt sport in there when its done mate.

Unfortunately its not my garage, its a friends. They are letting me store it there as they do not use it, its more like the size of a unit & its at the bottom of there garden!!!
I've got a decent sized garden & I dont use the bottom bit so I will hopefully be building something similar to take 2-3 cars when funds allow. Hopefully may be able to get a 2 poster in there aswell if I can.
Ade rang earlier to say the shell will be ready in about 2 weeks:D :D :D
Was chucking the Chrimbo decs back in the loft & saw my Irmscher manifold so I decided to take some piccies of it, be rude not to!
Its a Nickel plated(Like Chrome) manifold made by Irmscher, this is the only one I have ever seen!!! Was the last one from Irmscher Germany & they were ?900 new iirc:eek: , bought it at the same time as the 108 camshaft:thumb:

It doesnt look shiney in the photos as its a bit dusty & has a little condensation on it.
funk ace dude, i'd love to do that...and go proper all out!
looks like your getting a good lot of parts going,
should be a weapon when its all done,
will be watching this one alot..
I'm gonna be too scared to drive it when its done eh :wtf:
that manifold is pure porn, and whta do you mean its dull !! how long untill its finished do you think ??
ohhhhhhh vey nice, i so want an original intsilation pack for my sport, would finish it off so nicely, daft q, but how to sell it mate ?
iain
Should be on the road for the 2008 show season, won't be doing much to it for a while as our wedding is in June so need to concentrate on that first.Quote:

Once wedding is paid for I will concentrate on rebuilding it & spending some money on the engine, gearbox & diff.
Cant wait to drive it, hope it wont be a dissapointment as apart from a quick run round the block in a GSi recently I have not driven a Nova or Sport since Feb 2002!!!
Installation pack is not for sale & no plans to open it yet, will let you know as soon as I do tho :)
Any pics of your new Sport?

Whats the story of the shell then? It was bought new from GM, painted, but never actually met a road?
Help, I am urgently in need of an early bonnet.
I need an early one which were fitted to mk1's upto about 87, you can identify them as there is no black plastic trim where bonnet stay goes in.
Let me know ASAP
Cheers
Rich
