    I have never seen an Astra G OPC in a such perfect condition, it's just like a brand new car, everything is new. Hats off! I have stock Zaffy A but still I find a lot of useful informations here.

    been watching these videos for a while.. back at the beginning of lockdown my arden blue zaf was written off outside my house in a hit and run.
    i was pretty much ready to throw in the towel. until i watched a few more of your vids, Now I've sourced another (albeit in black) with a dead engine, Making a good one out of the two. If i can get the quality anywhere near yours i'll be happy haha.

    Nice car, love the red on this astra, these were good old astras my dad had one he bought it in 2010 and sold it in 2017, so he had it for 7 years, great cars made, simple and better looking then the new ones.

    Astra is looking mint Aaron. In my personal opinion i wouldn't do the window strips black. It looks good the way it is. Great video. 👍.

    @bcp_towing 4 года назад +2

    Like how you explain everything you are doing and why. I think a red car always needs some black on it as well, so go with your idea for the bumper. 👍🏽😎

    Great video, and fascinating to see the work you have put into this car. The detail, and quality is outstanding.
    Personally, I don't like these cars, I don't like the shape at all, and thought they were lame, slow, and bad build quality, but I can appreciate your hard work, skills, and sheer creativity.

  • @robtminnican

    @sr71blackbirddr 4 года назад

    That car is looking amazing Azz such a transformation from what was basically and empty shell. If the insert is vinyal i suppose it would be nice to see both but I think it will look better all in red.

    I LOVE THE ASTRA!!!!! I have one, TS or G model here in Australia. The best one they made. Would love to upgrade my 1.8 LTR with a SRI Turbo like the 2.0 Ltr SRI Turbo model. Any advice would be great. Also where can I get one of those Splitters that stick out????

  • @Supremizer
    @Supremizer 4 года назад

    Quality vid as always!
    I also need to do the arches on mine cuz have also 20mm spacers laying around for the rear. But why do you recommmend to cut the arches, and not roll them?
    Btw you should add some genuine shark eyes and headlight washers :-)
    Fit a X20XER inlet cam... would also be a really nice upgrade (and oem). As with the stock cam you loose the power at about 5500rpm. With the XER cam it holds the power till the redline.
