i know i havnt got pics of it yet but thought i may aswell get a project thread going for when i do..

few details about the car:

smoke grey
1.4 16v sport
76k miles
2 lady owners from new
full vauxhall service history

electric windows
electric and heated mirrors
sunroof
pas

it sounds 'mint' above but i have to say it isnt, the engines spot on, so is the interior, but the outside has a few dinks here n there, theres a few minor dents, one small scratch, rust patch bottom of the drivers door and the around the rear wiper is rotten ( but the boot is spotless apart from that )

still well chuffed with it though, going to get the rust spots sorted when i get chance, but not to fussed about the minor dents as its only a little project/run about

i only collected it last night (4 hour round trip)

but spent all morning giving it a clean up, cleaned all the boot shut etc out, and the engine bay a good clean..

also heat gunned the arches/trim as they was grey, and then gave them some bumper shine, well chuffed with how they have came out..

the car looks alot better since last night..

anyway i will be you guys some pics asap, to go with my small plans for it

Very good base that , Pitty you only want it for a run about for a while. You could have it looking mint!

And on the wheel choice, go for the Astra GSi fans , not keen on slabs at all!
