Forums Forums Ste : Astra GSi Redtop

Nice one on keeping it.

Thanks Dave

Started stripping it ready for the respray the other day, swaped the 2 back windows for clear ones which are easyly removed due to being held in with 2 bolts.
Removed the side skirts, front & rear bumpers and grill.
Removed front and rear window rubbers and roof bar strips.

Need to remove door handles, front door rubbers, mirrors and cut the 2 quarter panels out (need to get 2 new ones 1st )

Oh, also put an old set of wheels on because i don`t want the original getting overspray on

Didn`t think it would cost so much, this owes £1500 upto now but its worth every penny, belive me

Anyone know where i can get new quarter panels from???

.

Thanks chris

Didn`t know i could buy a crossmember, how much would it cost to fit as mines goosed (talkin front of car ripped off if hit side on )

aparently on the book to remove and replace the front panel takes 7 hours!

It's spotwelded on! Is it loose?

Mine's got that little black bit in the middle as well:

no dave, that bits fine, it`s underneath the car where i mean, theres 2 big black bars that connect to it, think they`re 18mm bolts and theres all corrosion around it, i`ll have to put a pic up or you can come down and take a look.

The GSi has now gone for Respray!

YERRRRRRRRRR

Nice one, how long will it take?

He said it will be ready next week dave

i told him to take his time as i want a good job (i have the task of rebuilding it)

Then the BMW is going for paint

This should be ready (well painted by) wednesday next week, then it`s a case of putting it back together and getting the new screen fitted.
Been offered a set of deep dish alloys for it 17" but not sure as i don`t know if i`m selling it or not so that would be pretty pointless, heres the alloys (but in white with chrome dish) so will need spraying...

as some lad from wallasey got that escort

Yes mate, his names lee, i`m thinking of buying it
Its a non runner atm due to elecy fault on the starter.

~Denno tho coz it`s only an rs turbo so slower than a granny running a marathon in slippers
