Spudly's 2.0 16v Antibes

[Spudly]

Spud I told you the amount of grief you are going to get

I know im in for a proper roasting but ill fire up pictures when ive got the engine out and you will see just how rotten it actually is



Lewis, i just want the engine in and running for now as its going to be my daily, but im sure ill fettle with it in the future, Andy wanted to paint the wheels white which i think i will do, she needs a bit of tlc to the sills which is only surface rust so will be rubbed back and painted and the underneath waxoyled aswell, there is an SR/SRi blue grey interior to go in but im tempted to see if a local coachtimmers will swap the antibes cloth to the SR seats to keep the interior looking factory but i dont know for now

[John]

Nice, hope your keeping the styling as it is. Mk2 sr seats will be good.

[Spudly]

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!

Unfortunately this is true of this one as its riddled with rot underneath and this nova came up cheaper than i wouldve expected and before i found another donor cav to be xe'd

[Lewis.]

sounds good mate, I've always liked the antibes is a strange sort of way would be good if you could put the antibes covers on the SR seats, supportive and original looking = win :D

The only cavs to be saved are the gsi and turbo the rest are donors oh and the nova looks tidy thanks Andy for saving spudly.

if i am correct in thinking they are 17 inch kahns on the cav please put them on the nova my cousin had a mk1 same blue with them on when i was around 12 still to this day thought it looked awesome.

[Spudly]

Yeah Rob was saying the same, he said the rarity of them these days in his opinion puts them in a similar league as a sport, i do want to refit the coachline and 'antibes' decals along the side, and im going to rebadge the boot with 'vauxhall' 'nova' and ive found a '2.0i' badge from a cav and i think ill fit the '16v' badge from my cavs boot aswell

[Edd]

Looks very nice

Early mk1's FTW as well

You keeping the bodywork as it is ? Looks very clean and original plus you don't see many Antibes nowadays

Theyre 17" khan reps actually and the wont be going anywhere near the nova as for one they look silly on anything bigger than 16's and theyre et37 so would need lots and lots of archwork so no

They will be for sale though
