I know that this might not sell, if it don't not a problem I'll keep it.
Right then its a MK1 Astra 1.3s 5 door estate. Its has never been welded. Got MOT until August 2012 and tax until end of October 2011 (can add some more if it sells, will sort with buyer).
It is lowered on GTE -40mm on the front and standard GTE springs on the rear. It rides and drivers fine like this and has been my daily up until recently.
The carb is a weber that I refurbed and put on after problems with the pieburg original. Has done 64K not sure if this is original but strongly believe that it is. has the original 4 speed box, could be the one that's worth alot of cash but no idea, but easy job to change to a 5 speed and make some cash from it.
Only problems are a small wear patch on the drivers bolster and the drivers front tyre goes down real slowly, never been bothered to get it resealed as I recon that all that needs doing.
It is currently wrapped in skull print.
The car can be easily put back to standard as I have the original springs and the wrap can be removed with a little work with a heat gun.
Pics below of it standard and how it looks now. Will not come with the round headlights or grille unless we can agree a prices for the items. Will put standard lights back on with the grille it came with
Any questions then let me know, cars located at my sisters at the mo, about 15mintues from jc 2/3 of the M5.
I would like £1400ono
Standard
As is stands
Also got these D90's that will go on if it don't sell but could do a deal on price if interested.

I concur.... the load area is huge. It has more space than a Land Rover Discovery! _________________ There's no such thing as a stupid question... Just stupid people! |

I think you could get a bike in the back without taking any wheels off the car
On a more serious note I had a Kadett E van estate, which had about the same loadspace. It was brilliant, I coulld even lie flat in the back allthough I'm not very tall I can still see out the windows without a booster cushion. _________________ SpaceKadett wrapped in fibreglass. |

The load space is great but I prefer the saloon for kidnapping purposes due to lack of windows! _________________ There's no such thing as a stupid question... Just stupid people! |
