Me and my Dad picked this up on sunday:
http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pict2302xy6.jpg

£500 from ebay.
MK2 Astra GTE, Redtop engine which has been recently serviced, MOT until July not sure about the tax.
As you see from the pics it needs some attention to the rear arches and wings and needs alot of little things needed doing.

Its done 81,000 miles which was a bonus and it came with full vauxhall service history along with lots of reicepts.
It does need some work to restore it into decent condition, the underneath is good condition, no welding or anything, will proberly need some waxoyl to tidy it up though.
Also has the usual gte extras including digi dash seats and the bloke even included the origional gte alloys in white with new tyres which are going straight on.
Should make a good project.

Just wanted to know of everyones ideas on what to do to it after its tidied up.

cheers
Adam
