Right well i have been looking for a mk1 astra for a while but came along this mk1 Opel Kadett instead which is pretty much the same but this has an xe fittted to it! 
So yesterday night after work i made the 2.30hrs journey to pick it up and when i got there was plesntly suprised that it was fitted with spax adjustables which is all good, got it for a good price IMO!
It even has power steering which quite cool!
Anyway i have bought it as a project for my self and im gona do it up over the next year or so with all my hard earned pennies!
What you all think to it? Just a few quick pics from today. 
and here are a few with my mates mk1 astra! 
and this is on the rough lines which i want it to look like, sorry bout the small pic!
let me know what you think to my plans please!

the other shape Kadett's are awesome.
the ones where the lights slope forwards instead of back.
but that is cool as fuck
nice that it came with a decent lup already.

tbh the pics make it look a hell of alot better than it is, it is very tatty with alot of rust on it so i am gone respray it all anyway, and as to the desecent lump im not so sure as it does produce a bit of blue smoke when reved! maybe a good idea to rebuild whilst in the process of it all getting done!

So
The mk1 Astra shape is cool too tho, still very classic. That'll make a good project. I wish I had the space, time and knowledge for something like that.
