kensascona

hi wiemar  she's not a vauxhall she definetly an ascona sr/e they are very rare in the uk as they usually had to be specially ordered as far as the history of her goes she was built in antwerp back in 1982 and was first used as a military police car on some army base in germany she was then brought back to england by one of the soldier's from that base in 1986 and was given a age related registration number i acquired her in june 2000 when her last owner was going to give her to some banger racers so i rescued her and restored her to her present condition for her full story can be read here

slacker  ;D ;D check out the thread on my ascona sr/e http://www.mk2cav.com/index.php/topic,9062.0.html  i had 6 weeks to get her ready for her 1st trip to billing  which included pulling out a dent in the rear panel rubing down numorious rust patches around the lower half of the car then primer and spraying rebuilding the rusty rear arches replacing the cracked dash top replacing the worn out engine at getting her through the mot and i did it in a lock up garage with only a generator for a power source i made it with a week to spare as well  ;D ;D pull yah finger out man  ^-^ ^-^

its only 5 weeks until billing how much more time do you need  ;D ;D ;D provided it stops fooking raining  > >

no excuses for not bringing it to billing then  ;D ;D it should not take more than a couple of weeks to sort out the wheelarch and wing  8) 8)

the v.b.o.a show at billing aquadrome in july is the best show to attend you will get to see some of the other members cars there its a great way to spend a weekend with like minded people who love their mk2 cavs  ;D

welcome to the site mate i've never had any problems showing my ascona at classic car shows near me  ;D ;D

judging by the damage in the photos i thing he is talking about the front wings

would have been cheaper to buy some disc pads first instead of using the car in front to slow you down  ;D ;D ;D

welcome to the club mick don't worry about the fuel gauge not working its standard issure with most mk2 cavs  ;D

double the pleasure when you get them both done then  ;D ;D

there is another user on here hes restoring a red 2 door ascona sport he could be from northen ireland

hello fellow ascona owner did you also use the user name ascona c on here

yyyaaahhh ive done it my videos now on youtube aploigies to anyone who was there and i missed your cars

facebook won't let me see the photos even when i'm sighed in  > > and i still can't upload my video i done at billing

thanks for a prefect weekend every time i attend billing it just keeps getting better and better 2 words sum it up totally awesome ;D ;D  8) 8)  i made a 5 miniute video of all the cars that were there but i can't get it to upload to put on the site

Well i'm still at home and dont think i'll be making it this year now  :'( . brakes are sorted, just a couple of small bits to deal with, but for some reason one of my rear tyresis catching the arch and i dont want to wreck a brand new  tyre. Anyway in my absence, i hope you all have a fab time and that the weather is good to you...i have my shorts on so that should keep the rain up north

chris you have worked so hard to get this close just find out where the tyre is touching the wheel arch and bend the arch lip up with a pair of pliers and get your ass to billing this i one party you don't want to miss out on  ;D ;D :angel:

Ken, just to prepare, can i borrow your trailer if when mine breaks down

that might prove to be a bit difficult as the trailer will already have the gold ascona aboard and i know ive just fitted a new clutch today but i don't want to wear it out on just one trip  ;D ;D

ive been dropped right in it poo the person who was going to bring the gold ascona berlina has just found out he can't drive her on his insurence as hes only 24 if push comes to shove i am thinking of taking her to billing on a trailer could i leave the trailer at the back of the mk2cav stand if i have no other option please :'( :'( :'(

Can everyone make sure that they have included their first registered date, I want to put together a timeline poster / calendar for 2012 and beyond and the dates are quite important cheers!

i know ive given the date of regestration for the ascona as 01/09/86 but that refers to when she was regestered in the uk not the date of manufacture which is written on the v5c as 1982

what are we doing about spec sheets this year mines looking a bit jaded  :-[

hi and welcome to the site and get some pictures up its well worth joining up as well it give you access to hard to find spares and useful infomation too  :angel:

if your looking for some parts this may be of some help  :angel:
