    My astra GTE MK2 after 2 years of being in the garage

    Well finally got the car back on the road after doing some jobs on it, engine conversion etc. Thought id show you all a quick picture. Was originally a 1.3 merit. Has been in the garge since Jan 2006 so under 2 years.
    Have got more pics but havent uploaded them yet. Comments please

    P.S. Has anyone got any washer jets spare?
