Have a proper soft spot for old GTE's, looks a cracker that 1, still unsure about this IC sticking out the front

Really wish i never got rid of my old Astra GTE 16v mk2

Good job though

[Wamy]

love the mk1, my brother had one of those, (not in that kind of condition) but i loved it, nice work and beautiful car

as always great work mate but that IC is fugly, that's a bright idea gone wrong, looks awful.

the compo motive wheels look great on anything.

are those AP racing calipers from a VX220? yikes i hope not they wouldn't stop a reliant robbin never mind an astra!

Thank's.......fmic is charge cooled and doubt its to everyones taste lol, It's been a nice straight well built car that i have enjoyed working on. The Astra bertone worked to my advantage as it is a nice paint colour that i have managed to refresh and show some gloss effects on.

I always liked the Astra coupe it was a very good design that lasted beyond it's time and a great colour too, came with a very good 2.0 turbo engine as well

if it has one.
