Good day guys I don't have physica access to the calipers would like to find out if these beefy had boys would work on my Ascona C Two pot calipers from Senator A1

Hi there all I'd love to find out what's the story behind this cav I know its redtop that's about it Lovely patnina ratrod

Looks awesome 👌👌 How low is it?

2025 Here's what I've done so far Chrome exterior handles Chrome interior handles senator Senator glovebox button Commodore chrome door locks Still need to swap over the lock pins Hopefully getting centre caps for the rims Rear right door handle has to be repaired I've few parts that needs to be fitted Brand new radiator (aftermarket) Brand new coolant bottle(aftermarket) Rear left quarter vent Astra mk4 handbrake cable

So brief update on my ascona since I've posted last In December 2023 bloke that cutting my grass accidentally broke my left rear quarter vent window After a nightmare trying to find the glass I finally managed to find the glass Still busy installing it. Got the digital cluster to work somehow by itself Car won't start now suspect it's the ignition switch Radiator leak got worse luckily managed to source a new one still need to get a brand new expansion tank and radiator hoses. Sourced astra mk4 handbrake cable hopefully it works 🤞🤞 Theres a oil leak I can't track down 🤷 Don't know after 39 years if the engine is finally finished.

Hi there just a cheeky little update on my Ascona haven't been able to work on the car with the new baby she demands all my time. Unfortunately not the good kind of update👎 I've found an oil leak that I've yet to determine the source Engine is covered in oil However found out where one oil leak is coming from near the oil pump. The rest is still a mystery. Also found that the radiator is leaking seems like I will be needing one sooner than I thought 🤔 Yes I've two fuel filters on so that the carburettor doesn't flood. I am using a fuel separator and a universal electric fuel pump. So the list continue on what still needs fixing 😕⬇️ °Handbrake doesn't work so need to get custom cables or use astra mk5 cables. °Digital cluster sort out it's bugs °Temperate gauge isn't working cause it's not connected. Engine bay side. Will need new temp switch. °Brakes isn't how I imagine it should be will see if I can find a different brake servo perhaps it's my servo. My problem is that brakes engage rather low and not as high as I thought it would be. °Drivers seat is falling apart need new seat foam. ° The car has a hard start that I can figure out when you go to start it for the first time morning/afternoon/night doesn't matter it swings like the battery is completely flat then afterwards it would start Don't know if it's the starter or if there is a connection problem somewhere. °I've yet to fit my lowering springs a bit afraid of taking the struts out 😂 haven't removed struts before on a car that I drive Only on the spare cars but will grow a pair and tackle that job when I get there. Also on the hunt for some other rims I've grown tired of the teardrops now. I'm torn on my engine choice to replace my 1800 carburettor C20xe 20seh X20xev Z32se V6 C20xe is the ultimate choice but it's getting ridiculous these days. V6 is one of the engines I really want but they weren't really available in South Africa 🇿🇦.only available in rwd omega b 2.6 y26se So parts are very scares and only imported engines are available here. X20xev is a engine I'd settle for very underrated 20seh if I can get one I will take it I won't be fussy. I've too many ideas and never stick to one. I've recently done this brake upgrade but now I want to go 5 stud 🤦 yes you've guessed correctly turbo wheels 👀☺️

Haven't done much to this one yet in the last few months. I've only done repairs. Fuel pump Leaking fuel pipes Brakes felt very spongy but think I'm use to it now. Digital cluster isn't working stuck at 0km/H Still need to sort out the handbrake cable.

Hi there again guys so I've taken pictures of underneath isn't the best pics but will try to take better ones today. I'm going to leave the dents I think it gives the car some character. Will paint the underneath black just to keep it from rusting. For now need to source some wheels don't really want to leave it on my Rover wheels

So on the 22nd September I got the car on wheels again after standing on blocks for a good few weeks car almost fell off the blocks🤦. Hopefully if I can get the brake line adaptors I can fit the astra mk2 rear disc setup and bleed the brakes and see what happens after that.

Forgot to mention that the suspension would also do with a complete refresh. The idea I have is to is to 18se engine Rear disc conversion astra mk2 280mm meriva front discs 15 inch Opel rims perhaps cav gsi slabs 👀 or something like that will have to see Digital cluster
