Respect for travelling all the way up to Birmingham to record the entire video all over again Ricky. That's some proper dedication and hard grafting to put out content for your viewers
I was made in 85 and I can say that the cars definitely faired better than I have lol 😂 and I love the fact that the backbox ain't 4 inches big.. Very tastefully done, what a machine
These oldies are so nostalgic n fun ! Lovin it Ricky ! There’s only so much you need of golf r’s, m3’s and such like ! Builds like these are just fun and let’s face it it’s gunna propa surprise people when it’s pulls away from ya ! That’s what the love of cars is all about ! Pure enjoyment! Great vid Ricky ! Still can’t to see a 5 turbo ( raider would be nice ) I can close my eyes and feel exactly what it’s like to be in one again ! Aaaaaaar the good old days ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Much like F1 and all the assists.....a one armed one legged man can drive an RS3 fast........takes balls and skills to take an 80s car with an analog setup, cable throttle etc to the limits, no ABS, no TCS, no airbags etc and only 3mm of steel betwen your arse and the tarmac lol
Absolute monster of a car and a great video. LOVED seeing that old school weapon on the road ... shows that you can have major fun on small budgets without all the modern tech getting in the way. 80's and 90's for life boys!!!
8 DAT MERC BOIiY funny that part you could see the Merc was pissed off as you came off the round about and came after you, couldn’t bear being blown off the peasant car. Or so they thought 😂
Love this!, the colour, wheels, drop, everything!. Had 3 of these back in the day, all 1300. Had a v reg 1980, one of the earliest. Great cars, but had to watch out for the rear arches!, rust. They are an astra and opel kadett, had them badged as both.
Ricky you are killing it with some awesome cars on the channel. What a beauty and a proper sleeper. Looking forward to seeing more of these oldskool weapons. Brings back some good memories. Ricky have you been out in a Clio Williams?! Mistubishi colt with an evo block, toyota chaser with 600hp, mitsubishi gto etc.. those were the good days. It's all r32, gtds, tdis and some leons going around now. Altezzas seem to be surviving well too. Keep up the great content and entertainment Ricky. 👍👍🚀
Ricky your channel is brilliant mate love my cars especially old shool 80s/90s motors. Always waiting on new uploads and never disappointed keep up the excellent work mate
What a sleeper 👌, bet lots of people had a shock beside this. I remember in my Focus ST getting spanked by a Mk1 Polo breadvan 🤣 . Dont sleep on the Oldies 👌. This is super clean , my hat goes off to the owner.
sexy motor....superb job. Every non-stock part fits the look perfectly. All the older 80s and 90s cars make you feel absolutely everything. Modern cars are far too sanitised.
I totally agree. Some cars just should not have lsd, especially for the street. Got lsd in my integra and it's a nightmare on the street and backroads. First time i hear someone else with the same opinion. I had an open diff in my cupra and it was way more enjoyable on a daily basis.
Loving this Build! Proper immaculate aswell!! Had the same engine 12 year ago but with the f28 gearbox in a mk4 astra running just over 300bhp - fully forged with an evo front mount etc, wish I never sold it ... well broke it for parts! Engine went to Scotland for a nova! 😑 apparently
Maaaan, have a MK1 Astra that I was asking myself about selling it, nah after seeing this video I'm definitely keeping it, look how clean that one is 😱
This car is Perfection MK1 Astra with that engine, build and perfect look Keep the same look as it had in the 80's with modern materials and parts. Big 👍
Yes bro no they are my sort of car's Keep it up Ricky 🇬🇧 Modern technology only works when it feels like it 🤘😎 video I am originally from castle vale but all my family come from pype Hayes Tyburn road But now I live in Chester 🇬🇧
Wtf memories right their lol my dad had one of these same colour aswell old school Astra second gear ended up packing in so we had to high Rev her right up to red line first then into 3rd bunny hoping a good few 100 yards 🤣🤣🤣❤️
What an animal absolute beast he's obviously done a very good job on this fantastic content even though you said you had lost some but we never seen it so nothing spoiling
Only shaped older astra I’ve never had.. 2 astra gte’s both 16v and convertible mk 3 sport 18 16v 4 nova’s an Areg 3 saloon 13sr in red 14sr in red and a kreg in white nova dose body kit 15” venoms Mitsubishi fto front seats all the cars I wish I would have kept !!!!
It's amazing how much of a difference lowering it correctly on the right wheels and keeping it clean can make to these older cars. That is niceeeeeee.
Yep, those wheels are the Patrician's choice.
"To be fair" that's a pretty nice whip
“To be fair mate” I agree
"To be fair" it's bluddy lavley!
😂🤷🏽♂️
“Tbf “I seen what you did there 😂
To be fair, that’s a fair comment.

This your car mate? Or know the owner. Getting a MK1 Astra estate the weekend would like to get some info on parts for upgrades and that.
I was made in 85 and I can say that the cars definitely faired better than I have lol 😂 and I love the fact that the backbox ain't 4 inches big.. Very tastefully done, what a machine

Monk. You looked like you was scared being a passenger 😂
Thanks for the mention to Retro Ridez for the exhaust
sexy motor....superb job. Every non-stock part fits the look perfectly. All the older 80s and 90s cars make you feel absolutely everything. Modern cars are far too sanitised.
So much memories of these. My late dad had a white gte from brand new.
So sweet, really brings back memories of when I first started driving. No many astras about now
That is a great car. Brilliant conversion, retaining standard looks, and it's in such good condition as well. All credit to the owner.
