my new toy, not a nova tho!

[edens-xe]

i know its not a nova but its still a vauxhall. so i thought i'd share it with you guys and gals.

the car ive bought is a cavalier gsi, with a c20let in. and its my fave vauxhall colour aswell, bordeux red:D

anyway havnt really had a chance to put this on here till now so here it is.

this is when i first bought it

since then its had an uber clean inside and out and its held up quite well considering its age,
the arches are nice and clean, the only thing that lets it down is the front bumper and the lip under the headlights!

ive also got rid of the second exhaust as i didnt like it and have just bought a new grill and morrette headlights for it.

meh everyones different. will be getting the original grill re-painted when the rest is done just to see if i like it that way.

i must admit there isnt another one ive seen about with it on, apart from the guy i bought it offlol.

just trying to find a new suspension setup for it, but alot of companys have stopped making things for the cav:mad: .feck!!!

[edens-xe]

yeh it was bought local mate, station garage were the last to mot it. but its came from croydon according to the v5? i do know the bloke i bought it off didnt have it long.

[Breeny]

Don't like the lights or the mesh but looks pretty good apart from that :)

[DW-Nova]

Nice looking car mate ! liking the quad lights too, looks pretty tidy condition aswell. What dose it run and drive like ?

[edens-xe]

not much of a major update but i swapped the biege dash to a nice black one, (didnt get any pics with the dash out, what a mess)

ive tidied up the front end and colour coded the morrettes and re-fitted the gsi grill. and the cav is now running phase two and what a difference that made in acceleration:eek:

just need to get the top of the rear bumper colour coded and sort the panel under the headlights out:D
slowly getting there:thumb:

[Benn]

Looks good, see you in it alot.

[edens-xe]

Looks good, see you in it alot.
cheers benn, i take it you see me in your works van? bet you cant wait to get yours back on the roadlol

[Steve]

Looks very tidy, and I agree on that colour, its brilliant on a cav.

I personally would have left the old lights on and the black on the bumper does break it up a bit, but its your car mate.

[Benn]

cheers benn, i take it you see me in your works van? bet you cant wait to get yours back on the roadlol

Yep, driving to get it back on the road.
Did you find that shaft?

[J4MES]

Looks good, any plans on new wheels??

[edens-xe]

Looks good, any plans on new wheels??

nah tbh the wheels have grown on me. plus i still havnt found a set i like

[edens-xe]

well i now have a new problem with the cav. the damn rad is weeing:roll:
will a rad out of a normal cav fit in the same place with the pipes, as the rad i have in there is the standard turbo rad with the intercooler on the side of it:confused:
