Is there any particular one that someone wants?
So far I've almost finished the TM Magna one.
I currently have the GE-GJ-GN.
Didn't have a particular order I was going to scan, but if there's enough call for one, will do that first.

Note: these will be posted in the Manuals segments for particular section downloads, or as the entire thing.

Cool, noted that.
The Paj and Starions are a bit harder to find, the sigmas magnas and galants not as much.
But they are getting more difficult to track down.
I dont really have a need for them as such, end of the year wont have an astron car anymore.
More a service for everyone else :)

and where do you download them?

I'm using Mac OS X 'Preview', pretty straight forward.
If your Windows, you'd need Adobe... or scour the net for a free program that can do pdfs.

I note you found how to download. ;)

Yeah, I am certainly interested.
So long as it does feature the astron engine, some of the Saporro, especially the Saloon featured the Sirius engine.

Annoying bit of news.

I will see about uploading at work, but no promises.
Will keep you guys in the loop.

Just found out last night this place was back up, and forgot to post a message.

As noted on PbA, the GH manual will begin to scan this week.
I may have a slight bit of delay as I am running out of space on the server and have asked for another 5 gigs, still waiting for the host to get back to me.

Cheers.

Hey all.

A bit of news and insight.
Sorry I still have not yet done any of the GH manual.
Unfortunately I have been rather busy at home and at work.

I have also hit a small wall which I call Conundrum.

I am now in ownership of a much larger and more established forum of which I can see consuming most, if not all of my time.
Which means that all the time I spend resurrecting Astron forums, has been a waste :roll:

I also have a small matter of paying for 2 websites, which will burden my pocket further, especially with the purchase of replacement car soon.

I am still weighing my options on how to proceed.
I have collected quite a lot of manuals, and have spent a lot of time doing the setup, and would hate to let people down.

Just an FYI, I will keep you informed on this matter.

Cheers.

Once I have MCA to an acceptable level where I'm happy for it to sit and plod for a while, then i'll get back to the manuals.
Just won't be for a while.

just a suggestion why not post the manuals to someone who wants to do it im sure there would be someone willing to?

Re: Workshop Manuals in PDF

To do that, I would not be giving the manuals away.
They would have to buy the off me.
For one of these Manuals I've paid $100 for it, so, yeah. I think in total it adds to about 3-4 hundred dollars of manuals.
Not including costly postage.

Also, the site only has 200mb left, not enough enough for a whole manual, so the hosting needs to be upgraded.

I dont want to lose money or something I've already put some work into over this.

I will get back to it one day.
In the mean time as I have offered before, if anyone needs a particular section or page, or whatever, I can scan is especially for them.

Wow, been a while since I've been in here.
Almost 1 year later...

So, I now am back to having just my little forums and all, no longer in MCA Admin.
Which means, I could get back to scanning the manuals.

If there is interest for these to continue, then please advise.
Last time I was going to start the GH, could start where I left off, or do another.

So, post up if you would like some more manuals scanned.

Cheers

Hey Astron Boy

I would love it if you could scan some Sigma GH manuals as I am in the process
of restoring and tuning my Chrysler Scorpion GH (http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=4873)
and need some engine info it has the 2.6L Astron 4G54 Carb engine.

If you could scan a Sigma GH Manual so I could use it to tune the
engine, I would be so grateful.

I am already a member of your site Powered by Aston so I will be
looking forward to the upload if you can.

Thanks Clayton
