Roy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 OK its not mine but I supplied him a lot of the bits on it! Anyone who remembers Tom from last years Billing, this is his car with the 2.4 conversion Paulmanta masterminded and fitted for him. It certainly scares a few BMWs around here....

Mick Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I like that but then I would, not entirely convinced by the wheels though, black centres maybe? Is that a GTE Spoiler on the back that was modded, I didnt think they fitted that well? Suits it... Love the idea of things like this that will beat new stuff[] Mick OMOC 5924 1980 Black Berlinetta Coupe 1980 Red Mk1 Cavalier 1981 Ascona On the way soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d818anr Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I've had a ride in this car and I must say it is great fun, really torqy with a good turn of pace.

paulmanta Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 The wheels look good after you have been round them for a bit, i was not sure but now i know the character of the car i like them. The spoiler is a GTE coupe Mata item, and it does fit well, The seats are from an Opel Monza. The car is quick and has lots of torque, quite a handfull when i drove it last. -----Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunman Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Mick; I agree with you about the wheels, and I have seen another 2 door ascona with the std gte spoiler and it seems to fit ok. I have an aftermarket fiberglass one that may be able to be cut and shaped to suit the ascona better. Then again it might not[]. It was another mad ebay purchase[V]. Bloody nice car tho[^]. If what I say can be taken in 2 ways and one of those ways get you angry....I meant it the other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Ah, I can see them now. Looks great. I'd be inclined to fully de-crome it too. Meh, wish you guys would pick a colour other than white tho. OMOC 5885 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 The original 2.0S engine and 4 speed gearbox it was fitted with are excellent too...[] Hi Tom! Cheers, Joe.

opel2000 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Must say the more Scones I see the more I feel the urge to get one and do something with. Helped a friend out with one a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 That car is "WELL" cool. Bloody ace how it looks nice and standard but will kick ass when needed. I think it suits the colour too.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
