hello, i'm new to the site, this is my astra gte16v. lol!!
i decided to sell my mk3 turbo because i have no passion for the mark. As much of nice car i made it, it just wasnt pleasing me to own it. it sold in only 5 days which was nice for me, and at a price that doesnt make me cry at night. you always lose on cars, but i made enough money to be happy and have a nice sum to move forward.
so, i started keeping an eye out for mk2's for sale over the last months. i was interested in bigdrifters and braders cars at first, both lovely but too far away and both very finished cars. then last week i spotted james' car for sale which is local and pretty much bog standard apart from wheels and exhaust.
i hope i dont offend james when i say the car is not perfect, and i also hope james does not take offence if i point at faults or describe things i'd like to change. its going to be a great little astra, and its got some key features that make it an excellent buy.
Its a J reg so one of the newest gte's you can find, the chassis is in great shape for a 17 year old astra. its a light colour so had the late black interior as standard. its also had part of a starmist interior fitted so its not even got the dark rainbow seats or cards. it looks clean and modern inside. no garish grey (or beige) plastics. unmolested dark parcel shelf is a big plus. (that it will stay) the engine is in great shape for its age, no knocks or rattles or noticeble smoke. pulls really well. better than i remember mine as standard.
so thats about it so far, just presnting it as it is. i'll update the thread as i go as usual with lots of pictures. there wont be any major modifications, just lots of mind numbingly boring slide shows of me tightening bolts and stuff

I've seen James's car a couple of times and thought it was a good honest motor.
