    Default Bens Mk2 Cavalier Calibre.

    Iv never had a project thread for this, so here goes.

    Went to go and collect the Cav from her storage place for the last 2 1/2 years! Last on the road 6/2010.

    Been busy prepping the garage for her return so I can get underway with the resto.

    Tidied and fully painted the garage. It was fully re roofed last year. Much brighter now!







    Brought up on my recovery truck:

    (Apologies for the Cr*p pictures! It was dark and iphones are pap)









    And tucked away back in the garage:



    Can wait to get started again- was so nice to drive it again!

    You've had this a while haven't you Ben? Have you seen your competition though as Tahir is also building yet another... I think he's bought all the new GM parts by now

    Looking forward though to seeing your build

    Tried giving you some reputation for that mate but I must spread some around before giving it to you

    Although i'm in no competition with anyone and good luck with the restore Ben, look forward to seeing what you have planned for it.
