[class 313]

don't tell me you're going completely chavvy and ending up with something like this? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v368/Pete123/Carpicsb4surgery002.jpg

That looks sick

If only trains looked like that then they may just become interesting...

That looks sick

Does it?

I think it looks like a large blue suppositry.

I prefer my car.

Just been given this as a present, and will become a project of mine when I come back from Portsmouth in June. (Its planned not to be as big a failure as the alumicart was) As I'm bored I thought id post it on here.

Its an 03 plate Mk4 Astra Activ, 8V 1.6l turbo. Pretty nippy and is reliable. Did have a nice exhaust but it kinda got hacksawed off leaving the normal pipe behind!

Things to do:
The money I've saved from not buying an 1.7Dti Astravan will start me off on the following:

Remove mud flaps
New rims
Spoiler
Irmscher grill and styling
New radio/Sound system
Straight through exhaust
GPS
Light mods
Tinted windows
TPWS box on the dash
Air Horns under the bonnet
Engine mods
Interior Styling
Possible respray - anyone suggest a colour?

And get insured on it.. (covered by my two bonuses in June)

Attached is a picture of it on holiday last year, in a dusty lay-by near Dove Dale in Derbyshire.

Got Rice?

I suppose when he's finished doing the car up, it will look like this, but I bet it will look more like this!

Just living in a Stockport (Gtr Manchester) postcode. It was about £400 cheaper before I moved.

Very funny, ive scrapped all that now and just leaving it as standard to save money and reputation. Maybe ill change the wheels and replace the radio as the current volume control doesnt work very well!.

Heres the finished product:

What have you done to the back half that you dont want us to see?

 

[The Snap]

Yep they are my main things to do, just the other bits I listed were things to do over time, its normally clean and polished its just it get stupidly dirty on holiday as the track down to the cottage near Longnor it dusty as hell.

Tom, I got a quote for £2500 on it, or if my dad insures it and I'm a named driver its like £1300.

I can get insured on a Vauxhall Vivaro 2.5l DTi for the same amount, but thats CV insurance.

May I ask how old you are Fusion, as £2500 on a 1.6 diesel is very cheap for someone of my age! I'm guessing you're in your late teens - which of them it is is quite important in working out how you can get it that cheap.

You want to try leaving Stockport for the rest of Tameside (East Manchester). A few of my mates live in Stockport and their insurance is nealry £1000 cheaper than mine!

And it is bird crap.

Fully comp.

Its up for renewal in a week, so it'll be interesting to see how much the price will change.

 

[FusionRail]

Third Party only

I had to change my broker to get a decent discount, my one from last year would only go down to about £1000 for exactly the same policy with the same insurance company :roll:

Third Party only

Better hope your car doesn't get nicked then...
