I´ve got 2 Asconas, both 2-door models. They are even the same color(weissgold met.)!! The one i´m driving daily is ´86, originally a 1.6(16SH) but it´s 1.8 now(18E). I got it from a guy i knew from school(back in the days), he came to my work to buy spark plugs for his new car and said that he´s going to take his old Ascona to scrapyard...i bought it for 20€!! I spent my whole summer vacation sandblasting, welding and painting it...but it was worth it :). The other Ascona is originally a 1.3(13S) ´83, but i just dropped a 20ne in it a few days ago. I found this car left on the roadside when i was going to a friend...i stopped and went to see it, it had sprayed all the oil and coolant out! The engine bay was a mess...i called the owner the next day and offered him 20€ for the car and he sold it :)...so i got them both pretty cheap!

Hi from Liverpool !!!  

I am wanting to see pictures. owning 2,  2 door 1.8 and 2.0 asconas - a dream I keep having !!!

Price appears to be a European Average for a mk2/C that needs a little LOVE.  

I paid a bottle of cheap scotch for a 1.8e Auto Hatch and £40 for a 1.8e 4 door SRi.

KopioDSC02349.jpg Needs a bit of cleaning...

KopioIMG_0323.jpg first i thought i´ll just wash it well but the job got out of hands as usual :) valve cover and some other stuff still needs painting.

Patapaikallaan.jpg Here it is...not the best engine option but this one was easily available and cheap(and better than the exploded 13s)

The engine bay is in good condition for a ´83 Ascona, the car has some rust spots here and there but nothing big...i´ll fix them. Now i have pictures of my ´86 1.8  :)

That is one nice looking Ascona mate, the two door looks so good 8) especially with those rubbing strips removed :) reminds me of an Opel Manta coupe 8)

Nice grille too, interesting that youve havent sprayed it body colour but instead sprayed it black, i was thinking of doing that to mine ;)

Hello and welcome! Loving your car man, another unique look me thinks ;)

Looks like you don't get salt on your roads there? Or maybe just not as much as we do :?

The more I look at it the more I want a LHD 2 door !!!
