Hi, my name is Adz (Adam)

Im 25 and much to your discuss im into Vauxhalls.... I drive 2 myself..

My toy Astra Mk3 GSi with Turbo conversion with around 350+ bhp

And the daily hack Vectra C 1.9 CDTi

But... i have a soft spot for the old austins.... inc Maestro, Montego, Ambassador, Allegro, Metro from the standard ones to the MG/Turbo series! Ive always wanted one.. but never really had the chance to own one.

Heres a quick picture of my astra which ive owned for 4.5 years now and bought it standard.


The vectra is just a vectra in red lol...

Anyway, i work for myself dismantling vauxhalls & saabs for a living and every now and again you come across a little something thats a bit special...

So this is mainly why im on here which if you had of read my previous welcome message.. i said ive always wanted a austin something lol..
Its not much.. its rotten.. and its been sat in a garage for 12 years +
Heres a few pictures of it..
In the garage we found it..

And at the yard... before a clean lol



Not quite what i had in mind for a first austin lol.. But im sure with some TLC it will turn out quite nice.. how ever.. its strictly when im not working or have spare time at work! lol

I have a low droning noise coming from the front of my maestro which i think is the bearings as it has got louder since travelling back from POL.

Am i right in thinking that i need the two piece bearings?? 1986 C Reg 2.0 EFI
