This is a really cool car, I have had my astra atlas e-drive for 20 years and after 34 months in storage she was finally brought out of retirement and moved 50 miles on a transport trailer to the body shop that worked on my astra LS hi-torq last year! I can't wait to get my pride and joy back on...

And my 1.4 ls hi-torq is still my daily drive!

My Astra atlas e drive x16sz still exists although 26 months of dust doesn't do her any favours unfortunately, I still hope to get her on the road one day and I have purchased the four panels that I needed for £454 which certainly helps matters!

Have you put your Astra into storage yet mate? I have had the green Astra atlas e-drive in storage for 14 months now but I will definitely put it back on the road one day and after owning it for 18 and a half years and not owning anything else apart from my mark 3's since, I don't intend to...

Congratulations it looks like you have got yourself a cracking car there I have had my Astra atlas for 18 years, but she has been in storage for 8 months and I do miss her, but my red LS hi-torq which I purchased 11 months ago is a good substitute, as I absolutely love mark 3 Astra's!

Your van looks cool

I hope to repair the atlas one day as I love the x16sz e-drive engine, which was the most economical petrol engine that Vauxhall did at the time and I also prefer the low down torque of the 8 valve engine's which both of my Astra's have, but the hi-torq in the red one is very agricultural...

This is my Astra LS hi-torq which is my daily drive, although I only do 3000 miles per year, she was supposed to replace the atlas when I purchased her in April, but I had to keep them both as I absolutely love the atlas e-drive as I am only the second owner from new and she has even got the...

The colour is nautilus blue, as mine is identical, although she has been on SORN and in storage since 30th July, and I have owned it since march 2004, but unfortunately the inner and outer rear wheel arches are rotten and need replacing!

https://www.carbodypanels4u.co.uk/vauxhall/astra/vauxhall-astra-5-door-hatchback-1994-1997, sorry this was the website I meant to send you, I need inner and outer rear arches on both sides, so I think your panel will be a lot cheaper!
