    Which car to LET

    I have my Cavalier




    and my mum uses my Astra 180iE




    The cav is cheap and reliable and very tidy and quite suitable for a mum to use.
    The iE looks lovely but needs work. Now i dont mind a bit of work at all, and id never sell the car anyway but i love the look of it more than the cav, and wonder if it would be more suitable for a LET conversion compared to the Cavalier some day,
    What you guys think?

    i dont even know why your asking the question the cav has NOTHING going for it like the astra does its not like the cav even has irs, its near on the same as the astra.

    astra is also already 5 stud so has bigger brakes, unlike the cav thats on shopping spec atm

    the way i see it is the cav will be a worse than a cav turbo on every point

    the astra will be something v rare and kool

    No-one suspects a Cav hatchback!

    On second thoughts, I reckon keep the Astra original. It would be a shame to ruin the cars originality just for the sake of dropping a LET in like every other Vauxhall.

    Astra FTW. All the foundations are in place, and since you want to keep it forever you can make it into a really sh*t hot astra.

    hmmm, i dunno - this is a hard 1.

    oh no, wait - it's not.

    Astra!

    Not sure you'll fit both the JL's in though? Might struggle for width.

    Does this mean the Estate project is being binned?
