    Far from tidy but thanks anyway, the drivers side has been repaired at somepoint, not very well few panel gaps. But itll do

    When i got it the speedo or abs didnt work and neither did the handbrake there was 3yrs of mots with failures that got waved through by the brother in law of the owner, it was completley unsafe!

    Itd had astra coupe 16" wheels on her to begin with but i put some corsa 1.7cdti sri 16"optionals on it, look like the corsa exclusiv alloys but in 5stud and recently changed to 17" sri 1.7 cdti optionals so i can fit astra vxr 321/322mm brakes ftw!
    From this after its first polish from me :-)

    To this

    I've got a Set of 17" Mille Miglia evo 5's for sale. Not in perfect condition but not bad either. 4 very good matching tyres. 1 centre cap missing. Looking for 150 Ono collected from Chesterfield or I can take to rr day.
    Pics available mate just need to get home and take them but if you have a look at my astra thread, they are the wheels on that.

    Main thing thats swinging me to split, is that some point its been in a smash, not recorded by insurance, and drivers rear quarter has been replaced sh”tley!

    Also any ideas why my front camber is like this?
    Ive thoughy it was cos the driveshaft was too long and pushing it out, but when i fitted the shortened shaft(the one i snapped) everything bolted together easier but the camber didnt sort out, im usin camber adjust bolts too
    The lower arm was was new so only leaves the shock or hub carrier, or even the strut top that could be bent?

    if its the later its fooked basically n should be scrapped but i dunno

    Yh I'll help all you need is an engine crane, a fooked corsa and some man hours.
