Here is my coupe bertone bought about a month ago at a bargain price with 75k and a full vaux service history.It is totally standard so a fine fresh car to mod.Is due an mot and after having it checked it needs a drivers side ball joint passenger side track rod end and both rear springs are broken.have ordered two new ball joints and a track rod end and have bought a second hand set of coilovers fronts have never been used.Have fitted pipercross panel filter and a 150mm astra vxr air intake so far.Next on the list is a set of 17s and a cat back exhaust system.will update as i complete mods heres a few pics from when i first got it

But i still need to make a post for what ive done since but its running stage 2 cams with a completely lightened bottom end. BUT i lose a lot through the gearbox as its auto (approx 35% i think the Doc said).

Still need a bigger intake manifold possibly a plenum (currently a 2.2) and bigger exhaust manifold as the Lexmaul is too small evidently. But i should do a new post instead of hijacking this 1 😃

Cheers for the comments had her checked as the mot is due needs a ball joint(going to replace both) a track rod end and both rear springs are broken.
Fitting Coilovers tommorow and the parts for the mot,then on monday its of to a garage up my way for four wheel alignment and camber sorted.

Im more of a performance man but styling wise the list is
Astra Gsi front bumper with cupra r splitter
Audi style front lights
Gloss black roof
Astra Mk5 SRI alloys
want to change the rear bumper to something with a diffuser but not seen anything yet

Really want a supercharger conversion though but think thats out my price range 🙁
