i know i havnt got pics of it yet but thought i may aswell get a project thread going for when i do..
few details about the car:
smoke grey
1.4 16v sport
76k miles
2 lady owners from new
full vauxhall service history
electric windows
electric and heated mirrors
sunroof
pas
it sounds 'mint' above but i have to say it isnt, the engines spot on, so is the interior, but the outside has a few dinks here n there, theres a few minor dents, one small scratch, rust patch bottom of the drivers door and the around the rear wiper is rotten ( but the boot is spotless apart from that )
still well chuffed with it though, going to get the rust spots sorted when i get chance, but not to fussed about the minor dents as its only a little project/run about
i only collected it last night (4 hour round trip)
but spent all morning giving it a clean up, cleaned all the boot shut etc out, and the engine bay a good clean..
also heat gunned the arches/trim as they was grey, and then gave them some bumper shine, well chuffed with how they have came out..
the car looks alot better since last night..
anyway i will be you guys some pics asap, to go with my small plans for it

But hey, its your car, and im sure what ever you do it'l look great

Very good base that , Pitty you only want it for a run about for a while. You could have it looking mint!
And on the wheel choice, go for the Astra GSi fans , not keen on slabs at all!
