I decided my nova was getting ruined being used as my daily runner so i got a lock up off my mate where the nova now stays dry. I went to pick this up the other night for a new run about, its a H reg. cavalier sri 8v with 104,000 miles, there's a few bits of surface rust on the bodywork but nothing major at all. The drivers side rear door has a dent but the boy gave me a mint door, just need to get it painted and the engine looks brand new, had all new belts, altenator and starter last month. Its taxed for 2 months and mot'd for a week, not to bad for £200

Sorry about the poor quality picture i will take some more tomorrow, what you guys think.

Shouldn't need to much for the mot, it deffinetly needs brakes tho as their touching metal, the horn doesn't work and there's a small hole in the exhaust. Putting it in for its mot next week

/\1993, nice looking cav too mate, theyre coming for nothing at the moment hey, mate bought one for £25 with 1 month T&T, had 235,000 on it lol was a 1.6 8v. Drove till the t&t ran out then used it for the panels to repair his cav which someone hit and run then scrapped it for £100.

An NE'd facelift. The interior on these was always indistructable where as the facelifts always wore a hole on the drivers bolster.

This is the only visible bit of rust i can find atm, but i will have a proper look over the weekend.

Interior is in good condition apart from usual wear

The best bit of the car, a 20seh with 104,000 miles runs sweet as a nut
