nerds? what decade do you think your in?

spent too much time in the 80's astra. was pants then, pants now. respect for doing a road side build and a rattle can paint job, but i would much rather see this looking more like this:

:D

 

 

could say the same for your 'gti ghia'. £3K+ spent and still looks like a standard piece of w@nk??!! pfff. this car cost £280 and it would pi55 all over any gti escort

 

cheers for the resept tho, mate :D

 

You gonna do the front arches to match? or is it just the rear ones?

 

nah the front arches are staying as they are cuz there already flared out

the money spent will show itself soon enough - currently as piles in the garage.

 

and i doubt it would 'pi55 all over any gti escort'. it has an antiquated 2.0 vauxhall engine - SOHC 8V? - added weight of body work and chasis strengthening needed for loss of roof. i say bring it on

And its not exactly "wide" as the title depicts.

 

I'll put some SI RST arches on mine and call it wide shall i?

this does seem a bit like we are picking on an astra a bit. maybe thats cos this is ESCORTevolution not ASTRAevolution :D

 

only joking - got so many other cars on here. although why a vauxhall? loads of my friends have had various vauxhalls and all been rubbish. i had a mint vectra (former reverend owner) and that was worse than rubbish to drive and my mums CDX astra auto has managed to cover 10k in the time we've owned it - 4 years. she hates driving it that much, but wont sell it - bit confusing, but easily answered. dad picked it, so she uses my dads car - 2.5 V6 Mitsu Galant Auto

anyone a member of barryboys? Could give them a laugh?

 

Its a huge waste of money IMO but everyone has different tastes. Some may think spending out on playstations and stuff is a waste of money and want to entertain themselves by spending a few hundred quid designing a wide arch 80s car.... Its up to them.

i agree i dont like the kit but would say dont challenge a 2lt 8valve in a gti. ive had both a the 2lt and a xr3i 130 and the 2lt is quicker all the way.
