[jim-bob1991]

hi guys gonna do minor diary of wats been done to my car so far,. first thing bought this 5 door astra gls 1994 ph1 locally to me for 295 with 4 months mot and tax, electric windows, mirrors also got nice looking interior and a sun roof so ot a bad spec for the price. got car home had a good look around it and no structural corrosion to worry about the odd little ding here and there which you would expect from a car this price,

any way first things first got rid of the 14inch steelies. replaced with some mk2 golf gti alloys i picked up cheap
then over the next month or so i done the following mods

*smoked rear lights
*clear front indicaor lenses and side repeaters
*lowered 60mm
*gsi spoiler
*gsi grille
*6mm pinstriping around bumpers and bump strips
*cd player and 6x9s
*MK3OC stickers to rear quarter windows
*powerflow exhaust three and half inch oval
*pipercross air filter

and i just bought a cheap gsi bonnet which i will be fitting soon as i will keep everyone posted

cheers guys heres a couple pics for the minute

gonna get some pics of them on car soon!

well i think its around that not sure of an actual figure nether the less it does go quite well for wat it is

would love to put it on bike carbs i know someone who could help me do it, but its money and lots of effort so gonna get my bonnet done maybe a xenon hid kit for the moment but hopefully more will pop into my head
