You can see the full build here - clicky
Damn image didn't work
Niiiiiiiiiice. I'd love a Retropower restoration on my Ascona. Mine was built mostly from spare parts I had that weren't good enough to go on my concourse Manta build. I got a 2 door shell for free and built the whole car for about 4 grand. I think I did really well and have ended up with something you can use properly.
To be honest, mine completely snowballed from the original build plan. I was going to put a mildly tuned C20XE on a 1.8s box with the standard 3 link axle with an LSD fitted. I had all the parts to do that and just needed to sort the body.
It didnt quite work out that way but hey ho. I only plan on doing it once so its being done right.
Are you on any of the Opel forums? wouldn't mind taking a look at your cars.
I was on OMOC but got bored with it. My I.d on there was 399road but the only picture on there was in the Avatar. I don't really do computers so couldn't be bothered trying to post pictures although I did post on there quite a bit. You've probably seen the Ascona before anyway .... It's a caged,stripped out polar white LHD 2 door with 400 bumpers and bonnet and sits really low on Compomotive TH's.
