Hi, this is my current project car.

It's a 1.4 LSi 2 door Astra which I'm converting to a 2.0 litre turbo.

I still have my GSi and will be keeping both.

Believe it or not this car is immaculate and has never been welded.

More later.

As you can see the brakes I'm putting on are much larger than the standard ones.

I'm using Saab 900 turbo struts and running gear including the rear axle.

In order to fit the struts I had to use Astra strut tops, bearings, rubbers and bushes. All those parts are new.
The strut tops and bearing plates needed drilling 1.5mm larger to fit over the Saab struts.
