RE: sam 's astor 6 - sam - 17-06-2014
I am so far only thing I don't like is its lowered on 40 mm springs and handles like a dog! Can't wait to put my avos on and solid beam mounts but so far so good, had its mot today which it passed
RE: sam 's astor 6 - sam - 19-06-2014
gave the new shell its firs clean! not a full blown one yet as I need to replace a driveshaft fit my coilovers and replace both ball joints, also put some standered rear lights in as the tinted rears didn't look right on a dark coloured car

I will be de wipering it asap and putting my mongoose on with decat as this one sounds horrid! also my mum has decided to call it shelly or Sheldon
next update will be all of the above fitted and sitting lower on the front
RE: sam 's astor 6 - ginge191 - 19-06-2014
Keep the wiper on?! Jussayin... Would keep it a smart OEM looker IMO
Looks nice though x
RE: sam 's astor 6 - sam - 19-06-2014
I have thought about keeping it on but personally think it looks cleaner with out one
but you never no, plus it's not on the top of my list at the moment
sam 's astor 6 - devils_fuel - 20-06-2014
It's a wiper Sam, they come in handy when you have a dirty window and need to reverse...cheaper than body work lol
Can't wait I to see the finished product
RE: sam 's astor 6 - ozonehostile - 20-06-2014
I'm all for a dewiper but you had better do it properly this time!
Non of that half arsed job like the last one :p
RE: sam 's astor 6 - sam - 20-06-2014
Reverse? Na mate full on chav tastick hand brake turns i do
I think it looks cleaner with out a wiper plus it's one less thing to go wrong! Hay my last one was done propperly, might of taken a while but was done proper!
RE: sam 's astor 6 - Piggy - 21-06-2014
It looks china blue in your sig pic!!
Nice though!!
RE: sam 's astor 6 - sam - 21-06-2014
Really?
Cheers dude
RE: sam 's astor 6 - Toms306 - 21-06-2014
Think you mean Nile, Piggy? China looks much nicer.
Seems to have happened quick Sam....so quick I didn't even realise it'd been done!
Astor '6 FTW tbh.
RE: sam 's astor 6 - sam - 21-06-2014

RE: sam 's astor 6 - sam - 23-06-2014

RE: Sams (reshelled) astor 6 - sam - 23-06-2014

RE: Sams (reshelled) astor 6 - Piggy - 23-06-2014

RE: Sams (reshelled) astor 6 - sam - 23-06-2014
cheers chief! I do miss the sound of an asbo exhaust
need to adjust it a bit as its vibrating on the beam :S
RE: Sams (reshelled) astor 6 - sam - 20-07-2014
well its update time: after a very good weekend at pugfest, seeing and speaking to a few of you the gti hasn't really changed much, apart from the backerbm oil breather kit, backerbm gear linkages and some nimrods from frosty which I'm currently refurbing. a bit of bad news though the gti has been put on hold for a while as I've lost my job
but I have just applied for my provisional for my HGV so onwards and upwards!!day before pugfest

still have a leaky bottom hose at the moment and the drive shaft seal is leaking on the long shaft :/
any way after fitting the oil hoses I had the urge to clean the rest of the bay

I also have bought a secret shiney thing which is going to be a lot of fun! not going to say a lot about it until I get the rest of it to be fitted before any says anything its not a charger!! I have told a couple of people but I hope they don't say anything
RE: Sams astor 6 aka shelly - puglove - 20-07-2014

RE: Sams astor 6 aka shelly - sam - 07-08-2014
Update:
well as couple of you no I lost my job at Kwikfit, which tbh did kind of do me a favour. Anyway after looking for a job for a couple of weeks I ended up back at my first job at Pizza Hut :S which kind of lasted 4 days!! Well helping pug performance move down to Thruxton race track l, me and james were talking about my 'employment' issues I was having as I needed money but didn't want to leave the motor trade all together. So got a message that night from James saying when did I want to start at pug performance!!!!
I was over the moon!! So the gti hasn't really changed, I have ordered some pro race 1.2's In silver but are talking a couple of weeks as I want direct fit, none of this spacer bollocks!! I have a few ideas up my sleeve but at the moment it's paying of the bills that are important then it's play time for the astor
Sams astor 6 aka shelly - Frosty - 08-08-2014
Great stuff mate, bet your well happy to get job at pug performance!
RE: Sams astor 6 aka shelly - sam - 08-08-2014
Yeah mate really enjoying it at the moment
RE: Sams astor 6 aka shelly - sam - 10-09-2014
Wow this needs updating! Well had a few bits changed on the gti now, footed my backer gear linkages, serviced it, found out my injectors are slightly tapper
but to be honest I'm glad the head isn't tapping, probs the biggest update is I have a set of silver pro race 1.2's now and a set of sparco buckets to be fitted on the weekend! Got a big list of parts to get :/ pictures soon as soon as I take a couple more......
RE: Sams astor 6 aka shelly - Poodle - 11-09-2014
Congratulations on the new job dude, maybe we'll see some real progress on this now. :p
