BrightSpark · 19-02-2008, 21:41

a lot lower, GTE wheels ( or maybe wide wheels), tidy the scabby bits, lower half grey and front rally fogs, thats about it

**CraigGreen** · 25-02-2008, 16:33

Needs euro wheels.

Nice car to start off from though.

BrightSpark · 02-03-2008, 18:11

tried me dads cav wheels on the car today, fox evo 3s and i think they look raaaaaaather good, so there staying

bodywork looks a bit shabby, i was gently flatting it down with some fine wet and dry then cutting it back up, but got tired halfway through so never finished

nice one, you a member of (mk1oc.com) mark one astra owners club? love the retro look, have you still got the gte wheels? want to sell them?

BrightSpark · 02-03-2008, 18:42

thanks, ye im over on MK1OC got both my astras on there, sorry im keeping me gte wheels to go on the gte.... keeping that mint standard

BrightSpark · 12-04-2008, 20:57

painted my wheels today

smooth white hammerite mixed with standard celly thinners, worked perfect

also started doing some sill work, after a bodgy job before.... rest off the sill is mint which was a relief

I'm going to remake the arch as its only really the lower half thats rusty and I don't want to cut too much steel away
