Hmm, Not worth much now from the look of things.

Wonder if "*PETROL CAP RELOCATED TO BOOT." had anything to do with its current condition.

Just read the comments "Buy it now £8k"

Although I'm not into the 'Max Power' stuff at all, it's still sad to see someones pride and joy destroyed like that

It caught fire at a show. The ICE wiring wasnt too great and after eight hours full pelt some wires melted and set fire to the interior.
Not my cup of tea but a lot of hard work down the drain.

Two thoughts here, firstly what a pile of sheite, why the hell "modify" and astra like that when you could just build a car from scratch!!!............................

but then I saw the toasty pics, and yes, a terrible shame, and then I saw the STEEL bodywork, now it has to be said that looks nicely done, not many chav cars with that sort of thing! Why the hell did they paint it a different colour to the rest of the car though?? Makes it look like a plastic glue on jobbie instead of the nicely done sheet metal work that it is!





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning

20-30K to rebuild, serious amont of faith needed. It would be even sadder to do a bodge job on it.
wouldn't be seen dead init but looks like a complete car orginally rather than just ICe or body kit.

I reckon the 20k would just be get it back driving, no where near what it was before.

not my cup of tea either, but you can see a hell of a lot of time and money has gone into it, must be gutting to see it reduced to that.
