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
