Its time for AsRat the Astra Estate to find a new home. After a hell of lot of fun this year building it and showing it at various events in the UK in 2008, its been the most fun we have had with a car, and also one of the most talked about cars in 2008 (not always in a good way though!!).
Boring stuff:
1994 M reg 1.4 Merit i Estate
Petrol
105689 miles
Tax 6 months
MOT 6 months
It passed as the car stands with no advisories. Although it looks like it could be unroad worthy, the most important part of this project was it being 100% legal and road worthy.
Loads of receipts for the mechanical side of things and all the parts that make the car what it is today.
SPEC SHEET FOR THE CAR:
ENGINE: Yep it has one of them
EXHAUST: Hidden exhaust
WHEELS/TIRES: Porsche D90's 7J front 8J rears, stripped and polished. 195/40/16's Falken tires. Adapters to make it a 5 stud Porsche fitment.
SUSPENSION: Blistein B8 shocks and Coil Springs (custom made) -120mm at the front and -100 on the rear.
BRAKES: Yep we have some!
BODYWORK: Removed face lift front end for an older crap looking one, de-wipered front and back (never rains here), smothered washer jets, ariel, side indicators and rear handle. Flared rear arches, retrimed roof, one off roof rack with a Raleigh Tomahawk, beer barrel and rat think on (changes daily), loads of stickers and stencils (again change daily) some rust here and there.
LIGHTS: Full European spec head lights and fog lights!
INTERIOR: Custom Interior consisting off, full cream leather, fosters indicator stalks, 50+, KY, condom dispenser, lots of general crap, fruit machine heater controls and lights, beaded seat covers, more general crap, custom one off clocks, a full 8'' chain steering wheel, retrimed roof lining, mini bar, optics and lava lamp (of course!),
ICE: State of the art multi media set up consisting off, Atari 2600 woody, Ghetto blaster, 18'' Colour TV with built in ariel, CB, some knackered old amps and speakers
SECURITY: The way it looks – who would want to steal this?
Only thing not included in the sale is the headunit, everything else in the pictures is in the sale. The pictures of the interior and boot are not the most up to date, for more up to date ones its as it was featured in Fast Car Magazine.
PUBLICITY:
Full front cover feature in Fast Car October 2008
Also appeared in the following magazines via show reports for 2008:

Its also had various online features, its in Fast Cars Top 100 cars of 2008, won various awards at shows (some unofficial due to the nature of the car) and has general caused reactions where ever it goes.
