Right I have made another set of A frame spits, but today when I got home I thought I'll try them :? Doh! made 2 sets both 100mm to small Doh!

So I set about modifying them to be big enough

Hopefully it won't take me long to alter the other set :lol:

my boss reckons I should put them on ebay for £99, as there are some on there at £125

But if anyone on here makes me a good offer I might part with them a bit cheaper?

Just a quick update seen as its been a while since i was here last the car is just about ready for the paint so if you want to see how it looks at the moment here's the link http://www.mk1oc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10649

Thanks for looking and I look forward to your comments

Cheers

Looking good, there was an orange mk1 3dr in Cheshire Oaks - defintely an OAP owned one!

Im sure theres a Mk I Astra being sprayed where yy Spoiler is being sprayed.

Ill have another look today when I go get it fitted, its a complete respray jobbie, all red

There was someone on here who had a metallic green one, it might be his! You can still pick these up quite cheap, but some people sell the GTE's in A1 condition for a couple of grand.

the metallic green one is sat on my drive .:D

i have seen this over on mk1oc and if it end up like sean's snotter it will be the business .

keep at it mate !

I haven't seen it for a while!

Hi guys just a quick bump seen as it's been ages since I was last here, cars almost finished but I have not Internet at the mo so I can only link it via my iPhone so please take a look here>> http://www.mk1oc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10649

Thanks for looking and I hope to see some nice comments

Nice work mate - need to get some of the pics over here though

That looks really very nice! Would be ace to see original alloys on there! Are you keeping the interior bare?
