Heres my new Astra estate, I had to sell the Polos due to starting uni last September, I've been missing having a car so got this for free of my dads when a rear shock snapped off! Its not Vw but will do me for the next couple of years until I get a Scirocco :)

Spend very little and money put in to audio is all good as it can be transferred to another car.

It won't be a future retro as like most 90s cars they are just bland generic turds.

Paint alloys white, chop the springs so it's scraping the floor, get some sounds. Job done. Cheap low whip that you can drive into deuche bag drivers without worrying!

A couple of updates, if anyones interested

Been a busy weekend, I'm moving up to the Lake district for the summer and needed a set of wheels, so I had to pull my finger out of my arse and get it back on the road

changed the front discs as they were knackered, also chucked on some white side repeaters from a Corsa B

Out with the crusty shocks...

and in with the new

The little pipes on the sides of the old shocks are for a pretty cool air adjustable rear stiffness and height. In the boot theres an air valve that you pump up with a foot pump to bring the height up, or release to bring the back down! Had to stick standard van shocks on without this though as there impossible to get hold of :(

K&N panel filter, I was going to de-restrict the air box too but I'm not sure if this would affect MPG and as I'm going to be doing a few thousand miles this summer I don't want that happening
