Thanks Pete, the dampers/ shocks would have been from one of the period manufacturers so should be easily replaceable. There’s several companies in the US and Europe that make them to order if given the necessary info / measurements to work from....
Regarding specific to the car parts, I can’t imagine anything you needs is going to be ‘off the shelf’, given how few of the cars were made. Radiator? Do you have something to copy, or, is it a case of starting from scratch? Do you have any photos to work from? There are many specialists on your or this side of the pond able to create a rad to any specification. Same with your chassis parts, I would think that they will have to be made from scratch.
Can you get access to any of the other Astras remaining? (I presume there are one or two...) Could be useful in assisting with your rebuild.
