Thought this would be a good way of keeping a record of what and when ive done work on the car, more for myself really also nice to have a record of it when it comes time to sell.
I guess i cant lose this
After looking at a few dogs i came across the car on the dreaded Ebay, I've not had much luck finding cars shall we say as described on Ebay.
Gsi,s are starting to get thin on the ground now so i,d have to start putting in the miles to find a car. Worked out they tend to come in 3 ways. They either need lots of work rotten, Monkey fxxked by past boy racers (yes that's most of us at some point) Or Perfect but out of budget for me.
Long story short after a few questions and the normal checks i took the gamble and a 500 miles round trip to collect the car.
Arrived at the house and within a few minuets i knew i,d be taking the car home with me just by looking at the other collection of cars the owner had around him.
Apart from a replacement rear arch the car still had from what i could tell all its original panels and it had/has never been welded apart from that once arch, Not bad for a 26 year old 130k Astra.
Couple of photos from on the way home with the car and old faithful earning her keep again.
