Where can I buy a painted shell or a body shell?

Jesus H! That's a goner. It can't be as easy as just "putting a new shell on it" surely? The chassis will be bent, and it's just not worth the effort!

When I refreshed and saw what Wicksta said I HAD to reply before you did :p

And...apologies about that in the OT...live and learn I guess...:o
 
Kudos for coming clean, takes a lot of guts to do that especially so long after it :)

Anyway, thats in the past so I dont think its fair on you to drag it. We'll go back to mauling your idea of rebuilding the car :p
 
Jesus christ, Phate. I don't think you've made a thread that I can remember not being full of silly ideas.

PS: if you want another one, the engine in your Scaab will bolt straight onto the gearbox in the Astra.
 
Would a more sensible idea not be to buy it back and sell it for parts? I'm sure you could make >£400 on bits from the interior and engine? Oh and the wheels
 
Don't bother bringing it back mate. If you had been driving that car for the last few years, you'd have got bored of it by now and moved on. Do just that :)

It really isn't worth the hassle, save the cash for something interesting :)

Keeps me going through the day :) I've always got silly and crazy ideas on the horizon!

What really brought this on was I drove my sisters Ibiza 1.9 tdi sport this morning (they have some serious torque!) (either that or it's been remapped) and it reminded me of the Astra and how much I miss it. (group awww)

And you may have all gathered but I'm thoroughly bored of my car now and want something else :p
