vernon Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I used to own a white GTE coupe a long time ago but the old girl was past it , I have been a member of the mk1 Astra owners club for over 8 years and have build quite a few off them that have appeared in magazines as well as car shows. While growing up my uncle had many mantas and I told him I'd have one one day so took the plunge and picked up a nice a reg black GTE. I'll have a play and try and put some pictures up , I'm sure I'll be picking your brains for advise as I would like to change the engine at some point. Anyway thought I'd say hello Cheers vern 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiffy220 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Welcome to the club Vern, whereabouts in the UK are you? And yes, be good to see some pics of your purchase, as well as some of the Astra Mk1's? I used to have a 1600 SR many moons ago. Lovely cars.
