Have had it for around 2 months. Is very quick and light, so good handling, economic and comfortable. Nothing has went wrong yet, but there are a couple of spots of rust - in the boot, doors and underneath a wee bit, so check everywhere first.

Probablt getting around 35-40 mpg, most of the astra mk2 forum owners get this or more. The car still feels tight considering it is 21, I would defintly recomment you go ahead.

Turns a lot a heads too, but most of my non car liking friends hate it lol

Thanks for comments folks!

You could have got a better tractor than a Zetor. You have let the side down

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Insurance was terrible. Couldnt get a decent classic insurance deal, so ended up paying £1750 a year

Was paying £700 a year for the corsa, the policy ended in August so phoned them up to swap cars and the fuckers wouldnt insure it cos its over 20 years old!

Could well have done, think I remember reading Kilmarnock when going through the folder of receipts. Did you know the owner or anything about the car? Before it had some gay alloys and morrette headlights.
