just bought a cav sri 130

[ashjones]

my mate txt me the other day sayin does me or any of my vauxhall nut mates want a cav sri 130 for engine to put in a nova or summit cus a fella he knows has got to get rid asap. so he gave me his number and i went to see it thinking it will be completly fooked but i was wrong. I got there and the o/s/r arch, 6" of sill at back both sides and cross member not so good but the rest of thecar is well tidy for its age and considering its been stood in a barn for 5 years turns out its a one owner with 71k on clock with some history and all old handbooks etc still with original plates. i asked him whats he want for it he said make me a offer so i said £100 and ill take it right now (cus i took my towing bar just incase) so i towed it back to my mates unit and jet washed it and give it a clean. the engine bay was just full of cob webs and ****e so we tfrd it and its came up no rot or anything well chuffed. pics are before i cleaned. what you guys think :thumb:

Cool. Shame they had poorer build quality than other mk2's due to the factory they were built in. Great engines.
