    Default Spudly's 2.0 16v Antibes

    Right here we go, i can finally start of a project thread as i actually own my new nova and it is back home ready for work to begin.

    Alot of you will know this as Andy's XE antibes and formerly Lozzie C's aswell, Andy did a sterling job of converting it to an xe from the 1.2 it was, all the bay has been prepped and had a H&H plating kit fitted, along with V6 brakes and polybushes throughout, unfortunately some prior bodgery on the oil switch allowed the switch to leave the block under some enthusiastic driving and unfortunately killed the engine, he then fitted a 2.0 8v which decided it too didnt want to be in a nova so that committed suicide aswell!

    This was then removed and the car has sat in Andy's garage since about august last year!

    After offering it to me for an unbelievable price which i couldnt say no to, so its with a fair bit of regret that ive decided to break my cav for it, i originally intended to use the xe from my cav into another one (the cav is very rotten underneath and had a 'friendly mot' last one it had and would never pass another one without a hell of a lot of work!

    So against all ive said before about cavs not being donors, im using my SRi as one, yes i know how hypocritical this is but meh!


    So anyways thanks to The_General_Chancer picking it up on his recovery truck she is now at mine (along with a nice pile of bits ive been collecting the last few weeks) and next weekend is when the cav dies and the nova will be resurrected!













    Loaded up ready for the trip home...



    And after a rinse over...

    Emissions will be fine as ive fitted a cat already...

















    And the unsuspecting cav...





    And although it looks nice on the outside its riddled with this...






    Ill be gutted to break the cav as i really like it and think it looks rather good after ive chucked a few nice bits at it, but needs must and Andy's Antibes is too good a car to pass up and ill need a new home for my xe soon anyways!

    Comments welcomed but please keep the 'hypocrite' comments to a minimum as im genuinely gutted to kill a cav!

    Lets be honest here, the man has seen sense!

    Best thing for a cav is the scrapyard in the sky! Thw XEs much better in a Nova!
