Picked this up on Tuesday evening. It's a 2001 Astra Coupe Turbo with 86k on the clock, FSH with just the bodywork letting it down a little. The rear bumper and spoiler have been sprayed and look far to dark, front bumper and bonnet covered in stone chips and little scratches here and there. Mechanically sound though.
Here's a couple pictures i've just took.




Coilovers have been ordered.
Wheels will be getting sprayed grey/anthracite
Then tidy the body up before PVS.
Comments as always.
