Convertable mk2 astra GTE
Hi, haven't used Migweb much so thought it was time to show you my car on here,
My car is a 1991 mk2 Astra GTE convertable, i bought it about 3 years ago. It was in good original condition, apart from a tiny bit of rust on the rear by the roof, and the roof was starting to show it's age(going brittle).
The rear arches had no rust in them at all, one reason why i bought the car.
I decided to take it to a local bodyshop called Dawsons that i had seen advertised in a modified car mag. I had the rust repaired, any minor imperfections removed and a bad boy bonnet fitted along with some side skirts and a front and rear splitter that i had bought from PLR. The whole car was resprayed in the original colour including all the plastic. I then bought and fitted a brand new vauxhall roof. All it needed was some wheels, so i bought some 17" Dare X1's to finish it off.
Mechanically all thats been changed is a full Magnex s/s exhaust system, a K&N air filter and a power boost valve.
Future plans are to fit a 16v rear axle and fit a 16v engine (already bought but rebuilding at mo.)
