Some of you may have seen this for sale recentely, well its not anymore cos I bought it..! and it is an awesome car.. 1981 opel ascona b 40000 miles on the clock, lots of mods, it was built as a track day car, spec as follows, c20xe lump, magnecor leads, manta big wing sump,powercap and pipercross vortex filter, getrag 5 speed box, calibra turbo clutch, sbd tubular manifold and 2 1/2" custom made jetex exhaust system, 3.7 diff, superflex polybushed throughout, bilstein shocks, eibach front and rear anti-roll bars, gte -25mm uprated springs, wilwood midilite calipers with vented discs ceramic pads and stainless hoses, The car needs a really good clean as it has not had one in 3 years, It handles like its on rails, future plans are to paint and fit the 2 spare wings that came with it, fit the lsd from the isuzu piazza axle I have and drive it till the wheels fall off..!       |

Great car, loads of mods indeed! I like your attitude towards it too "drive the wheels off it"!!! That's the spirit!

Thanks for the comments guys, i wish i could say i built it, it is a real credit to the guy who put it together, it is a propper sleeper and has surprised a few unsuspecting motorists, my daughter who is 2 1/2 calls it daddy's new orange scruffy car..
just need to find a reasonably priced opel spark plug cover.

Not alot happened since I bought it, just been enjoying driving it.. but today I went on an adventure to collect a delica.. my good friend Ross who sorted a trailer and a tow vehicle bought these along with him, and I just had to have them, fully refurbed and powder coated silver, not quite sure what they are, I do know they are mim as it is stamped on them, will get some Tyre's in the next few days and fit them..   |
