sweet as that is!!!!!
The second to last pic, the other cav, that was at a Well Lane RR day a few years back, I was obsessed with finding them wheels and getting them for my Astra...never happened lol

[hendrix]

spud, 3 months before you got it I met the guy at the tip, he said he was gonna sell it and I gave him my number...never heard from him :( lol. I'd have only stripped and scrapped it lol

[Rickardo]

Are you on about Trevor??

The wheels came off Brettski's derv Cav, only a few months ago.

[Spudly]

I knew/know what you scunny vultures are like and as ive dribbled over that cav everytime ive been over to scunny and passed it, Rob sent me the pic as he passed on his way to work, i thought i had better move fast to get it before it was donor'd off, and about eleven or so hours later i was handing over the cash for it:p

Lowering springs landed for her today aswell:d

[hendrix]

Also had this SRi a while ago for spares. only paid 200 for it after spotting it outside someones house and knocking on the door seeing if they wanted to sell it lol

[Spudly]

Was no problems on mine, just a bit of a bugger as the whole hub comes out with the strut



Apparently the trackrods like to seize into the hub just for a laugh and you usually bugger them by removing them, and if theyre buggered they also like to seize into the rack just to be nasty:cry:

[davidfox280585]

i will update how dirty mine gets it that hanging i darent open the boot and car washes always leave it black behind the towbar

[Spudly]

Lol my mate got pulled one winter in his diamond black cav turbo due to it being that dirty, the rear reg plate was totally unreadable, and the rear lights could only just be seen lol

[ste porter]

drop over one sat or sunday morning spud drop me a few beer tokens and we can get the lot done i have an inovative little tool for removing well seized track rod ends without damaging the boots
