**daveybuc** · 30-06-2005 23:18

yeah still 1.5 for now bit unsure what to do,think it wil be uninsurable on a normal policy,nota problem for me as traders but if she ever got sold on think would be a headache

**heds** · 01-07-2005 14:40

im going to the yard now so ill take the cam and get some better pics of all projects and post them shortly.

**Chrisund123** · 02-07-2005 23:04

Looking very good!

What did you do suspension wise? Is it running GTE shocks and springs?

**Ian T** · 15-10-2005 14:44

Sorry to rake up an old thread, especially since the older pictures have sadly gone AWOL.

I'd love to see the work in progress pictures.

Looking for inspiration.

Particularly how the front and rear corner panels need to be changed to get the Mk2 stuff to fit, i.e. is the back end different to accommodate the boot lid, or do you just need the small quarter panels that sit below the rear lights?

I can provide an email address if that's easier and may be able to host any pictures of this if wanted.

Cheers, Ian.

As long as you can prove the engine predates August 1993 you should be OK. Is it a C20XE or the earlier 20XE which never had a cat anyway ?

**Addz** · 24-01-2006 22:43

Looks great mate! I know im not the only one on here thats been waiting to see more pics!

Did you keep the Nexia's rubber door seals? Do you think they decrease wind/road noise over the original ones?

**Astra Dan** · 24-01-2006 22:49

You can see the seals at the top of the drivers door look.

**scott61985** · 24-01-2006 23:01

**Grantys** · 25-01-2006 12:10

Looking good m8! Shouldnt rust as badly as mine did; wish I did something like this now whilst I had all the bits!

AL · 25-01-2006 12:13

Wow, a P-reg GTE - now that's cool!

Good work dude

**Dermot_V6** · 25-01-2006 13:50

Our's was a p reg green nexia aswell... ohh and it was clean rotton.. never put the gte bumpers on it though.. Was a funnier a Daewoooo frying impreza's, celica's, and stuff (ohh yeah and an ST220 mondeo cop car) than a GTE astra...

Best ever was when they asked what was in it, telling them it was a 1.5 'Superchipped'.. Wasnt too long to everyone around knew it was a redtop though

Ahh so you can!

Do you think it would stop wind/water etc getting in better?

My door loom bit seems to get splashed in water and the central locking sometimes goes nuts, would this stop it?

I presume they are just stuck on?

**daveybuc** · 25-01-2006 18:26

dont no about the window seals yet still never had the chance to go out in in booked in for mot tommorow.

**Garrie** · 25-01-2006 21:18
