So I spied this Sweet Astra GT Convertible made by Fiberfab COUGH COUGH. Well as we know fiberfab didn’t make it and well it did not come out of the mold a vert. UGH! Why would anyone do this? Well I emailed the seller to let him know it was not a fiberfab car and to ask him about the roof and I got…
“The car was un-usable with the hard top unless you are 5 foot tall or less. Still have the top” .
At 5’7″ I fit just fine in about 99% of kit cars, and the Astra is no exception. Maybe this didn’t have drop pans? Would you cut the roof of your car or just find a car that works for you?
Its listed in Virginia – Hampton Roads and for $3000 you can have this bastardized Astra GT
I knew a fellow who was piecing one together in 1984 in Massillon, OH, 350/300 HP powered with a through frame exhaust. 200 mph at just over 2200 lbs. He had said the fellow who was laying up the glass had had a terrible accident before finishing the the run of bodies. Keep them alive.
