[MK3MAD]

My new 200k miles 1400 estate

I'VE BEEN MEANING TO GET A BIGGER CAR FOR WORK GOR A WHILE NOW AS THE LITTLE CLIO IS JUST A LITTLE TO SMALL,
I WAS BROSWING EBAY AND BROUGHT THIS 1994 VAUXHALL ASTRA GLS 1.4 MPI ESTASTE FOR £109.50p, ITS GOT MOT TILL SEPTEMBER, JUST NEEDS TAXING,......

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICS, ITS IN NEED OF A VERY GOOD CLEAN,
THE ONLY REASON WHY HE SOLD IT WAS BECAUSE HE COULD'NT GET IT RUNNING,

SO THE CLIO IS ON EBAY NOW.... BY BY LITTLE CAR...

 

[Space Cadet]

You have a thing for that colour don't you!

Looks clean, well ok it needs one but it has potential... nice purchase

What's the plans?

 

[MK3MAD]

1st of mate is give it a dawn good clean, it needs new shocks/bushes on the rear, new front top strut mounts, a good service, ill get that out the way 1st as i want to spend what free time i have on my other astra otherwise it'll never get finished, you still going to billing?

 

[Space Cadet]

I should be at billing yep, no reason why I can't be

Which one you having at billing?

 

[Ben Chiles]

Looks a nice tidy purchase bud, the body work looks mint, even the rear arches and bonnet!

Will come up nice with a good clean Glad the clio is hitting the bay

 

[Twelfty]

[poppyrocksbf]

[Twelfty]

[Andy_Mk3]

Can't go wrong for £100. Did you get it running?

Will look nice with a detail for retail Change a couple of small things like indicators, and maybe some vaux alloys just to make it look a bit better

 

[Space Cadet]

Aye small bits and it'll be a smart estate you got there

 

[Vectra-Arctic]

Another SHED LoL.




























Nice car for under £110

 

[MK3MAD]

yep, im quite happy calling it MY shed, thats the only reason why brought it, i gave it a wash today and to be honest its come up really well, got it all running off the key now,
gonna be putting clear indicators on, alloys, phase 2 estate rear lights too start with anyway, wonna get the astra projeck done mainly, ill get some pics up when i have done some more progress on the shed, good old coupranol, thats why the arches must be so good lol

[ADAM_L]

nice one fella

 

[MK3MAD]

Just a little udate, this sertainly was'nt a good buy its burnt out 8-9 fuel pump within three days, what am i doin wrong?

 

[wayne1]

mate i,ve got a 1.6 8v, runs just needs the head gasket doing and a skim , drop it straight in

 

[MK3MAD]

its not the engine mate, the engine as done ver 200,000 miles and runs sweet with plenty of pock to be expected of a c14se, its all about the fuel delivery have replaced everything thats replaceable, i think its coz the fuel level was lower than it could suck up, (very dodgy fuel gauge)
