She's actually in very good condition, however a good overhaul will keep her going for another 25 years.
Evening all,
Currently struggling to finish my Astra GTE overhaul restoration and I'd really like to have her on the road for next summer.
Has anyone had a good experience with a reputable restoration company or someone they would recommend?
Any advice is welcome.
Cheers
The good companies always seem to be busy, They certainly are at the moment after speaking to a few recently
How far from your location would you be prepared to go ?
Not too worried about travelling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
These lads have a good reputation near us, but sadly its a long way from youself
They have a Classic car restoration arm to the business and I've seen some very nice work
They were also featured in one of the classic car restoration shows on the telly

Is this a Mk1 or Mk2 Astra GTE? Only asking as I had a Mk1 when I was 19 - coming up to 20 years ago now! Be interested to follow a restoration

I mind these Astra’s very well as they were one of my dad’s company cars, he went through three of them in as many years, first car blew a large hole in the side of the engine, second car he hit a lorry wheel lying on the road at night and it removed most of the passenger side, third car got a scaffold pole through the floor when a co-worker borrowed it to drive round the rig construction site. The Cavalier was a bit of a relief after that. I remember it being ok but a bit small after the Sierra.
