  • a few pics of my rebuild

    i no its not a mrk 2 astra but it does the job
    had this car for about a year now
    the story starts when i went and bought my first cosworth was a white saff on a e plate was a shed but got it cheap and had some have decent bits on it


    after 6 months of blasting it about i killed the gear box and clutch so had a think what i wanted to do with the car at this point my m8 was braking his blue saff cosworth as he wanted a bike so i bought the shell and wheels running gear gear box of him and decided to reshell my stuff in to the new shell



    the car took a few week ends to strip and put the parts in to the blue one all was fine till i took it for a pre mot and the fooker spun a shell iped the engine out so of the road it came again took the engine out for inspection was fooked lol so decided to buy a new engine which i got of another m8 for 800 pounds was a 70.000 mile engine from new but wanted the car mint so had the full engine rebuild and while i was at it got a few bling bits on the way


    engine coming out again lol
