This car started out as a standard Mk2 back in 2003 when I found it for sale in Total Vauxhall in wales but as you can see it is no long that way and still I have more planned for this car

That certainly is 'special' mate.

I think you need bigger brakes behind those wheels.

Ive alread fitted bigger ones from a v6 vectra, front and rear are now both 298mm, but i know what you men. Later in the project me thinks. I think the new astra are running over 300 now as standard so i will wait till a pair come avalible from my local car breakers with calipers and carriers
