dont see the point in puting it in a rustier heavier shell
that engine in a 4x4 caterfield would be mazing

the other option was a manta. but once you have felt hideous torque steer in 6th at 150mph when you drive over a 2p piece or a crisp packet on the road (i mean private airfield) i dont want something rwd. id be scared, and die.

astra and definitely make it 4wd. been thinking about it for a year or so. i think the other plan of a manta would just be too much.

Mk3 Astra would get my vote.The Gsi has to be 1 of the best,if not theee best looking car Vauxhall have ever made imo.
Theres a video lurking about over on Mk3OC of a blue 4x4 Mk3 Gsi turbo from oversees.The guy slowly pulls up into a carpark,full lock,then hits the gas and it starts spinning around on the spot.It looks fukin koooool.
