Astra V6 Project

This is how i bought it in 2005



This is what it looked like as of march this year




April saw new wheels



Bought another set of wheels in May and had them re-sprayed black




June saw a new lump fitted




This is how she looked in August





In september I decided to fit some cally V6 lowering springs as my old 2.0ltr ones kept bottoming out

From this:



To this:



December came and she came off the road and went to a friends bodyshop for some major work. She's having 2 new rear quarter panels, new drivers side inner rear quarter panel, rear panel, front wings and slam panel fitted. As wel as a full reiger kit, irmscher lower bootlip spoiler, half rollcage, all dents and dings sorted and a full re-spray.








No inner rear quarter




Old inner rear quarter



New inner rear quarter



New rear panel



Front end being lined up



This is how she currently sits, lots more to get done. The guys doing it are top guys and this would never get done without them.
