After a loooong journey (left 4pm and got home 3am!) And £800 lighter, I picked it up, it is in pretty good condition. Will get photos up shortly,
Dont have any plans for it apart from get it running and a bit of a tidy up. Possibly slam it and a nice set of wheels, |

Well done mate. I was looking in to that but seller wouldnt budge much on price. (Also had just bought 2 and payday wasnt sooner) looked a good car. Good luck with it. |

Thanks, I bought it due to it being same colour as my other one in 5 door, I havent seen any in that colour until now and hopefully to stop it being used as a reshell. |

I agree. Keeping it original is the way to go. The 3-door GL's were always bit of a rarity. More so in that colour. It was more common on Opel Kadet's than Astra's. You need a nice set of the OEM alloys to finish it off. |

Origional is the way forward i think. Reps and mod are not to everyones taste |
