My new pride and joy

Post by Terry »

Having got fed up with the Corsa I sold up and purchased something a bit bigger.
I'd like to thank Gaz for helping me pick it up.

I have big plans for the car including a 500bhp let, Buckets seats up front, GAZ coilovers and 4 pots all round.
Due to my plans I reckon this will probably take me 18 months or more as funds dictate.

Cheers guys. I've been looking for a good shell for years when this came up. It's the cleanest one I've seen in a long time. The wheels are stunning and immaculate, they're the reason I'm not 5 studding it.

Nice Terry, have to admit I have a huge softspot for the old mk3 Astras, I have had 3 of them from a 1.4spi up to a 2.0 eco wreck sport for a very short time as it was a shi**er..lol

Be watching the build with interest!!
Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....
