Iv got a mk2 astra, that Im sorting out,
so I thought I'd join the site.
I'v only put jamex suspention, GTE front brakes,
and 15" alloys, on the car, so far,
it will get a paint job done, once the bodykit is on,
heres some links to the pics, they're slightly big

its only a 1.4, so a better engine might be considered,
once the bodywork is finished,
I'll post more pics as the work gets done
Welcome aboard my friend :D ... All MK2's welcome here! What bodykit are you thinking of putting on?

Looks like its in good condition which is an excellant starting point, I myself don't really like 5 doors in any guise but astra's are an exception :D what colour and body kit are you going for?
Also see if you can get a nice 3" back box for her too ;)

I havent decided on a colour, yet,
for the body kit, Im thinking a smooth euro styled look
nothing to big, no jap style massive front end, or anything,
keeping it subtle
Woohoo another 5 door in the same colour as mine ,personaly i dont like the colour of mine so i will be doing the same as you and getting it painted asap .
Welcome to the forum mate i think you will enjoy it here as its a freindly place .

Im not sure what wheels to put on, once the cars done,
deep dish wheels sound good, should look good on the car,
cheers again for the welcome :D

heres the template for the front bumper,
theres still alot to do to it,
http://www.jbodystyles.com/project/mk2astra/tfb.JPG
it needs alot more smothing off, and all the dimentions
checking, before I cast the mould from it,
and the sides still need rounded off to follow
the curve of the wheel arch,
quite a bit still to do
