Nearly there

Paul Spinks came down last week, connected his laptop, and everything is fine, even the emissions are spot on
It`s sitting in Bentley`s bodyshop, pick her up tomorrow, MOT at 3pm.

The lighting is all wrong, but you get the picture ;D

and after all that work its still a Chavstra

amazing project, well done!

[J. J.]

Looks good to me!

[monkfish1]

Cant wait to see this in action. Gonna be interesting!

[Afroman]

Isn't this the Astra that is getting a GTO LS2 in it. Cause I saw you on the other forums.

[motomk]

Amazing! Needs one of those little V8 badges on it!

[Peter123]

Yyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssss it passed the MOT without advisories

[anonymous-user]

looks disturbingly like a VXR8. Very cool and unique car.

[VXR_Daz]

Nice one!!

So when you going to take it to Santa Pod?

[Paul--C]

I absolutely LOVE that car

Rarely do I fall in love nowadays but that is awesome. If ever you decide to sell it I will buy it. Immediately.

[Peter123]

Thanks guys

One of my mates has named it "The Astraoid" pmsl

[stevieturbo]

Excellent...so how does it drive ????

[crisisjez]

Can`t wait to see it on the road.
You must be very pleased with the outcome, its a credit to you.

[stigmundfreud]

whatever it looks like this is one cool conversion, must have cost $$$$!

Thanks Stevie.

I`ve only had enough room on my private road for 60mph, and it drives straight as a die even under braking.

Not as much as you`d think mate, would`ve been, if labour was in the equation, but I`ve done everything myself.

[stigmundfreud]

that just makes me hate you

;)

[After_Shock]

Glad its finally up and running, remember seeing the car many years back at silverstone thinking it looked brilliant and what could you do to improve it, sticking a V8 in never entered my mind!

Daft question but have you converted it to RWD?

[Peter123]

Yes James, Omega rear axle with Monza ATB, built by Henryk Franczak (Notnormal`s dad) aka .... v-tuning

[baz7175]

Congrats Pete, it's taken a little longer than you first thought but it's been one hell of a project and can't wait to hopefully see it in the flesh at some stage soon...I took the much easier option of selling the Coupe Turbo and just buying the Monaro itself

[willisit]

Blimey - so it's done!

I remember meeting with you a couple of times and I have SO much respect for you and this project. Cannot wait to see it... are you going to Billing?
