And that ladies and Gentleman was the life of my GSi which done me proud for the 6 years that I owned it, I had achieved what I wanted with it and learn't a lot on the way even though it owed me 12k plus lmao

I do sometimes miss it but then im enjoying EVO life at the mo (well not the fuel bills) but fear not I will be back with another modded vaux this year, you'll see, watch this space lmao

Thanks for reading

Stunning Rob. I didnt realise you had it for as long as you did.

I really like most phases of that car, you clearly cherished it & lucky for you, youve got good memories & plenty of pics esp the early days with it.

Ive not got any pics of my Nova fdrom when I bought it & its a shame as all the other phases & mods are documented.

Nice one!

To be honest, even if I didn't like it, it's obvious the amount of work that's gone into it, and it would be admired by me for that reason alone.

I'm not usually a fan of white cars, but your Astra was the one I always looked at and wished mine was. lmao
