Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6
Saw this briefly on the track, looked fantastic mate, I've got a real soft spot for Astor. Sounds like you've got some nice plans lined up from what you were saying over the weekend. Was good to meet you as well mate. Smile

Its insane rd!

I worked out that I managed to achieve 22mpg over the weekend... Considering 3 sessions and being thoroughly abused, I think that's not too bad!!

I paid 699, 4 years ncb, mods up to 180bhp.

Black masks!!

So I've decided on a colour scheme.

As a homage to Ed doe, I'm gonna go with Renault liquid yellow.

Getting some badges made up by Gareth and I'll be painting my 4 pots Monday ready for fitting Wednesday!

Will be detailing her tomorrow as she had a bath today. Will get it in the shade and clay and wax her up!

Great to see you with this car mate. Looks like your going to turn this into the car that Ed always should of especially as your going to fit 4 pots.

I've also got some black 1.2s to fit. Maybe at your house party Chris! I'm picking them up from Ricky who is 10miles from you apparently.

After seeing 306gt30s videos I'm sorely tempted (again) for a turbo 6.

Eds done the hard work with suspension. I've just got to get the ponies!

Great vid that Ed... Looked like ideal conditions for the Pradas. Such a fast open and slightly boring track though...!

Gonna get an artists brush and touch up the writing and pipes in black. Should look good once finished. Will be giving quite a few coats of he yellow so its in your face! Will look good sat on grooved disks behind black 1.2s

Should have my new bonnet and boot badges fitted by start of next week. Followed by 'astor masks' and wind deflectors.

Theirs a bloke I've found today who hand makes exhaust systems. Charging m mate 120quid for a handmade system with 1 box. He reckons he can source titanium. Will be enquiring a price on a system for mine!

Oh I almost forgot...

I've had the 4 pots sat in my cupboard for ages.

And the bodies are mine once I've paid for them! That is my hand in the photo though!

Nout wrong with painting them like that either! Much easier!
