Not bad indeed! Same age as me and probably in better condition! I grew up on mk2 XR2s, as frail as they were I loved my second one (used 2 to make one good one) something about late 80s-early 90s sporty hatches/coupes, the first generation of cars with that all round body kit and arches.
Condolences for your loss. Hope you enjoy the car.

Sorry to hear your news, my sincere condolences.
One should never complain about getting old, it's an opportunity that a lot of people don't get.

Tragic mate very sorry.
I liked the Mk1 Astra and had a lot of fun with what was probably the best mid-sized boggo FWD chassis of the era, very chuckable in basic spec with lots of feedback having no PAS and skinny tyres
I'm guessing you have seen the MK1 GTE episode of Car SOS but if not it's worth a look, it seems trim is the hardest thing to find!

Wee update on the Gte Car wasn't perfect paintwork wise so decided to get it painted. Currently in body shop getting painted & tidied up. Parts are a problem. Can't really get anything for them apart from EBay. Don't really need anything as it's complete. 2 brand new headlights purchased to freshen up front end. Hopefully have the Astra back end of June.
Purchased a other retro car, wife would kill me but she knew what I was like. Bmw e30 325sport. Spotless had a full nut & bolt restoration 18 months ago. Bonus is you can still buy everything from bmw.[IMG]http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac13 ... hnxen7.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac13 ... 5ppaua.png[/IMG][IMG]http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac13 ... ryr5rg.png[/IMG]

Love the e30. The itch to buy one is strong but trying to find a good one these days is a problem. Congrats on the purchase OP and sorry to hear about your loss.
