You need repOriginally Posted by Derick-Sport
Cheers fella, the plans are simple but will be effective. There aren't many of these early SRi loons about so keeping it as close to how it left the factory will make it stand out.
I see how much attention my brothers Nova SR when out and about so this should see the same respect
I'm not loosing faith in the Nova, just need to take some time off work to get that one sorted.
you do know it should have steelies and trims as its a pre facelift sri, only the post 1992 facelifts had fanblades. use to work on these when they were new....
Yes I know, those are in the garage with the trims but the Fan Blades were left over from my bros 16v SRi and it suited the 8v so they stayed on. If the car ever goes to shows then the trims may go back on but as a road car we'll stick with the alloys.
Oooh looks like you have the floor looms for heated seats there ya jammy git, switch loom will be up the middle of the dash around the heat/stereo area
Cant beat a good cav SRi, although i muchly prefer the 16v ones (XE ftw)
You can say that again! Looks like you have your work cut out for you.
Our Seat Ibiza daily has much less rust than that but failed MoT last week nonetheless... Bollocks!
Good luck!

P.S. Mexico Red is the way forward! Yeehaa!
One day I'll start a build thread. One day...
Yeah, got the wiring for the seats, shame the seats aren't heated. Never seen any Grey cloth Cav seats heated. I busted my balls to get the same grey cloth seats replaced, so finding them in heated guise would be a right ballache.Oooh looks like you have the floor looms for heated seats there ya jammy git, switch loom will be up the middle of the dash around the heat/stereo area

Think the loom is present around there as I was once looking for the trip computer loom plug but never found it (but did come acorss something else).

I recently had a look underneath and didn't notice any of the stuff that I saw inside the cabin (apart from the obvious holes). Problem with the Cav is that it leaked from the heater matrix for quite a while before we notcied it and the padding around the front footwell was damp and there is a tiny leak in the boot right where the rear arch is so it was rusting from inside and out. It'll be a case of fix the rust and get it all sealed up.
UPDATE
A small update - the car is still with us and hasn't gone off to the bodyshop as the lads have had a few insurance jobs to sort out on priority. Should be off in the next few days.
In the mean time I've been looking for bits that will be needed and come across one of the decals that will be removed. Vauxhall don't stock any of the decals on the Cav but I got this on ebay the other day, original GM still in it's packaging unopened
