Interesting buy. Any mod plans for it or is it going to continue its life as a hack?

Plans sound good.

I'd personally replace those clocks with a set with a rev counter as well

well, a little bit of an update on this, its still pink!!! but that will be corrected ove the next few weeks as i didn't want to do owt to it untill it had its mot, which it had last month, all she needed was a small patch of welding on the cill, and new rear brakes, and that was it!! i had already fitted a new eshaust sytem and passenger head light before the mot as these were both defo gonna fail,

so now i'm gonna start sorting a few issues out, so first up, a full service inc all fluids (the brake fluid is nearon black!!)
plus new stat, cambelt and waterpump
it'll also be having the alloys from the calibra
so all in all not a bad car and yet another ebay bargain

so progress pics will follow but were on the lookout for a cheap astra auto drop top as a project to replace this at a later date,lol

Nice one! I had a 1.4 Auto MPi, good engines and quite nippy too

Plans sound good, as does a soft top Astra :D

yeah, the engines aint to bad, but this one badly needs a service, looks as though its an oil change recently as the oil filter wasnt screwed on!!! thus a big oil leak lol

we're gonna do various bits to this and then transfere to a astra rag top once we get one,
