Here's some pics of my old modded '89 Astra 1.3L. I owned it for just over 6 years and did nearly everything I could afford. Was planning on sticking in a phase 4 LET but couldn't resist the Vectra SuperTouring200 that is now living in my garage.

All work apart from the paining of the exterior bodywork was done by myself.

If anyone has any questions please drop me a PM as I don't get on here much.

Thanks for looking

PS I always wanted a GTE 16v and now have one. It's a late J plater I'm currently prepping for track use, build pics to follow when the cage is finally fitted.

How much did you spend on this beast?

As I did nearly all the work myself I would probably estimate about £8K including the purchase cost of £2.7K back in March '95. The car was completely standard when I got it with only 32K on the clock. This was also my first car!

I've always loved Mim Rafinos - I think they really suit the Astra.

They look great in black on my girlfriends Reiger kitted Astra mk3 running the 308mm Veccy GSi front brakes. I'll dig yet more pics out of her car and apologies in advance as I know this is a Astra mk2 forum.

PS Pics were taken just before the 308mm kit was fitted.
