The nova that has served me so well has moved on to another owner now, and I have purchased my dad’s Calibra. It’s big, comfy, quick and sleek, in fact everything the nova wasn’t 
Bassline has been installed, and it’s in the garage for a few bits and bobs this week (including fixing the sunroof, that is currently stuck. Open.)
Going to run that for a year and then get an Octavia RS or an IS200 I reckon…
/me drives like a hooligan.
Some pics of Clive’s super sweet V8 Opel Manta project, winner of Billing car of the show 2006. This car was free, brown and knackered when he got it :tongue:
All the shiny bits were constructed by Clive, who has a company called Custom Solutions that do bespoke fabrication and engraving. Clive did most of the work on my Opel Ascona, including some gorgeous one off stainless window winders :y:
More lovely old Opel Asconas from the Retro Rides forum 
This one was up for sale for a grand, two weeks ago. If I had seen it sooner, I would have bought it without hesitation. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth :cwy:

Lush! :heart:
I am itching to get another rusty old knacker, strip it out and stick an unruly engine in it. I always wanted a mk1 fiesta or a Chevette. Fiesta would get a Zetec, and the Chevette would have the 2.0 16v from a Calibra… hardly original, but should be a right laugh. I need a nice smooth, professional looking vehicle to get me about for work… but the weekends belong to something outrageous :tongue:
Not long at uni left now….
