November 14, 201312 yr comment_194713 Hello everybody from Romania, I am Dan and this is my 1988 Opel Ascona C. The engine is a 1.8S E18NV, completely rebuilt in 2011 with polished ports and valve seats and few other minor mods. The gearbox is a standard F16CR with bigger clutch plate and disk. The car was lowerd with Eibach springs, completed with a classic set of 15"Zender Sport rims fitted with 195/50/15 Dunlop SP Sport Fastresponse. The car is rust free after rebuilding the quarter and back pannels this summer. It is a project far from done, hope you like it.

November 15, 201312 yr comment_194770 someone should have gone to specsavers they can't tell the difference between an ascona and a cavalier ;D ;D ;DThe difference is only really a few small bits of plastic isnt it? Report
November 16, 201312 yr comment_194778 The difference is only really a few small bits of plastic isnt it? Yup, possibly 6 bits of plastic, 4 badges, a couple of decals, a speedo and maybe some different upholstery. Its already the same colour as Champers. Oh and mustn't forget different manuals Report
November 17, 201312 yr Author comment_194816 Thank you all for your appreciation! There are very few Asconas left in my country, even fewer in good condition. Because of that, there are very cheap, under 400£ . If you find a good one, chances are it is not for sale. Part supply is rubbish, no car company import taillights for example. The second hand parts market is also dead. [img width=800 height=529]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3668/10854348654_1398b51d3d_o.jpg Report

July 2, 201412 yr Author comment_202066 Hello friends,Sorry for disappearing from forum, this is an important year for me, I am about to obtain my masters degree in just two weeks from now.Btw, this year I also visited UK for the first time, loved it. Nevertheless, I haven't forgot my Ascona, and I wanted to share my latest plan with you. The idea is to swap the powertrain and the brake system from a mk4 Astra gsi turbo. ;D Can you please help me with some info's about what difficulties may encounter?Thank you. Report
