Looking good mate, it's nice and clean..

Any other plans for the future?

[patrikbrunt]

im not too sure, im stil undecided on what to do with it! i quite fancy puttin an xe in as im sure i could get it done quite cheaply... needs lowering too really but need the arches rolled first as itd scrape otherwise. and theres a few small things like the aerial needs fitting and one of the headlight washer things fell off the other day! i found it luckily (fell off in work carpark!) but its broken and im not sure how to fit it back on! everything is on hold until july ish tho when my money goes back up at work and ill actually have some dosh to spare :)

Good pics there mate. I went to take some pics a few weeks ago of mine in a nearby field where my Mum lives as thought it would give a nice touch to the pics. Trouble was there was one big mother of a Bull in the field, i thought it was best i left as really did not want 2 b@st@rd great big holes in my door or worse...me!!
I like de-locked Astras, did you do that yourself?

Trying to work out where the pictures are too, but can't figure it out.

Not that familiar with donyatt myself.

Not far from you, just over the border into D'arset! :)

Looks good.

Like the wheels I think they suit the Astra quite nicely.

[md28]

Ahh, just worked out it's your tidy mk2 that I see in Yeovil College Car park most Tuesdays!

Nice one! :)

Doing some work experience in the Marketing Dept at the moment.

Have been based at the UCY down the road for two years on a CAD course.

ahh cool, what is the uni centre like? i doing engineering in the scabby petters building, of which half is being knocked down at the moment and a new building being built, although im sure i will have finished by the time it is ready, typical!

Not bad, newer and tidier than the college, although alot smaller - but they're looking to take on the second floor of the main building which will give alot more rooms.

Ye, Petters looks pretty derelict at the moment, not sure how long before it's all complete, but probably when u've finished as you say (tis always the way!)

[patrikbrunt]

where in dorset are you from then? do i drive a mk2 also?

[md28]

Based near Bridport.

Not currently. Used to own a MK2 1.4 L, then a MK3 - which died earlier this year and now I currently own a nice little 1.4 Clio!!!! Not exactly what I'd like, but so far has given me no grief (touches nearest wood based item).

Want to do a MK2 project Idea I have had for ages, but time, money and the fact that I'm off to Reading for a top up year at Uni in September, I feel it will have to go on hold for the near future. Shame as I'd loved to get something done for the shows this summer, but it just isn't practical at the moment.
