Right.. pick up annother astra last nite, a 3 door one which im going to make into a gsi replica

This is how it looked when i got it




completly standard, just the way i wanted it.

This is the other astra i bought for the engine, wheels, suspension, exhaust etc..




Only did a few things today,

Swapped the mirrors round



Also swapped the boots around



Thats all for now but tomorrow im going to start taking the engine out of the 5 door astra and swap suspension round etc.. more pics to follow
