ascona400r Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Have looked back and not sure if i posted any new shots of my car.... if so then apologies ... some difference between a professional photo and a good oul iphone photo... done all the work myself bar the spraying, car needed absolutely no welding or repair patches. Decided to paint her a different colour than white as i already own a white one also so definately don't need 2 of them the same colour.... though must admit they do look well in white. As the majority of people paint them white these days i decided to go a little more radical with the paint.. not everyones taste but i like it - hard to please everyone i guess. Also went for the PIAA lamp pod yet again to break away from the norm of 4 cibies, and the 9" ATS alloys breaking away from the white revolution look... wanted something a little different from everyone else as there seems to be so many replica 2 door Ascona's floating about now, especially over here in Ireland. Hope to head to Billing some of these years, just been too busy this last few years to go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i240 Dan Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Amazing car. I love the colour, lamp pod and wheel choices. Love the effort put into the clean engine bay as well. Great reg plate to go with the car. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2908642343 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Good choice of colour as well as the 9" ATS. Not 100% sure on the lamp pod, but saying that it is growing on me............ the more i look at the pictures. So big thumbs up from me on this 400R.

mantai200 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Now that is what I would call awesome. It all goes together perfectly, great colour, cool wheels, light pod looks bang on. Def a car I would like to have on my drive, well done. Can't wait to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascona400r Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Cheers guys.... yea others aren't sure on the lamp pod either.... and thats cool as opinions are welcome. Thing is i never saw one done before on an Ascona so guess i am the first to try it and i do think it looks well. So unlikely to see another done like it. Just saw so many cars before all done the same... wanted to try something different. Below is my first build, thus why i wanted to try something different with the orange car... p.s - yea i know i went overboard with the cibies.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i240 Dan Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Is the car in the background the orange car before you started work on it? Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascona400r Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Is the car in the background the orange car before you started work on it? Dan No sir, the car in the background is another i own... was a lhd but i put a rhd bulkhead in her and havn't got around to finishing her yet... hopefully get around to finishing her as a wee standard road car next year....

399Road Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Hello , Seeing your white Ascona in Total Vauxhall a few years ago made me get my Ascona. I've gone for the road car unarched look though . It's the same Polar white as yours and running a 2 litre ecotec on honda blackbird carbs. It sits really low on Compomotive AT rims and I use this car as my daily driver. You were right in the magazine article in saying these cars get a lot of attention wherever you go. Luke. I wonder how many Asconas are left in England and Ireland...... Edited December 7, 2010 by 399Road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldoradoCoupe Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Yep, that orange ones a pretty awsome and mean looking motor, compliments the clean looks of the white one very well, no point in having two the same ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
