For Sale 1979 Opel Ascona

[vauxhallnutter Mark]

2 door 1600cc. The interior and mechanicals are in in good condition. Unfortunately the car has no MOT or Tax. As you can see from one of the photo's below the car does have a damaged passenger door. This is a rare chance to aquire a rare classic.
The owner is after £450 o.n.o. but is willing to consider any offer for the car. The proceeds from the car are going towards the purchase of an Electric wheelchair for his father in law, who the car used to belong to.

Going for a look tomorrow Mark, but there is currently a Cav version up for sale that the guy only wants 100 quid for, same year as well !:o So it is going to have to be a really really good one for money in that region :(

[nick omega]

i hope it finds a good home soon

[SteveM]

I'll let you know what happened later!

[SteveM]

Right, well Ient to look at this today, and to say it needs a bit doing would not be far off the mark!
It is structurally sound,the floor,sills,jacking points,and most important the chassis rails are sound.
It looks like it has been painted with a six inch paint brush!:eek:,and lots of rust bubbles are showing through.The wheel arches might need a bit welding in,hard to tell till the paint is removed.
It needs two new/second hand wings,hard to find and expensive, and I thought it might get away with a door skin for the damaged side,but too bent,so needs a new door and glass !! Even more rare and expensive:mad:
Here are a couple of pics I took.

So after all that.........................I ended up buying it at a good cheap price.





Oh yes, whilst there I ended up in a cloud of steam as one of the hoses/clips let go !!!!:D Picking it up maybe sometime next week.

[mitch1965]

What a difference between these set of pcs?? The ones first posted are deffo really old pics of it!!:(:(

Looks like you have a bit of work on this one Steve, but worth saving!!:D:D
What let go with steam,,, your Calli??:confused::confused:

[SteveM]

No, it was either a hose or the clasp holding it! Nothing too serious,but wish it had happened ten seconds earlier,he might have taken my first offer !
Still, can't grumble at getting a hard to find example for 150 quid!!!!!;)

[etd]

nice one steve.. looking forward to seeing the w.i.p of this..

[SteveM]

Sorted out a couple of wings...................just down the road in Bradford,so that's handy.:D
Plus a pair of doors somewhere in Wales,don't know how much they are though.I've been told they are the same as Manta ones but with the surround.All (all!!!!!:rolleyes:)you have to do is drill out the spot welds and transfer the rim over,I shall see !:cool:

[sparke]

another bucket of rust eh steve, you'll never learn!!!!

[PhilCavy]

Boy! Only just got round to reading this post - that'll keep you busy! (-

[vauxhallnutter Mark]
