hey, this may sound silly, and me of all people should know, but are saloon and hatchback doors exactly the same? reason asking, my new cdx V6 as all 4 doors with horendous laquer peal, and ive found some doors in the same colour but off a saloon, just wanted to know they will deffo fit 100% before ...

hello all, ive just bought myself a M-reg cavalier 2.5 V6 CDX, 5 door hatch, pre imob engine, and for some reason, the electric window switches front and rear stay continuously illuminated, even when the car is locked. they have been on all night! any ideas as to why they do that? as i thought norma...

missed me aswell! i was there all weekend, hidden behind the VVOC lot

well, the old beast is now Mot'd! and tax'd, and insured. its great to be back behind the wheel of a cav again. heres some new pics of it. now the welding is all done, ive rust treated the lot, then sprayed it with rust treatment primer, and undersealed the whole underneath of the car. http://i11.ph...

Did he weld that lower arch panel bit on with the door closed? Also - did you give those rear chassis legs a good going over before plating up/ no the door was open when he welded the lower arch bit on, why? i checked the rear chassis legs, and just removed the rust, i let my mate take care of it, ...

Nice to see some welding, it really was a rusty thing. Just makes our cav project look that bit easier now :) Good Job, some people after seeing that would run a mile :lol: i will admit, once i started poking and my screw driver didnt stop going through to the other side for some time, i did nearly...

i'l be going this year, hopefully with the old cav if its ready by then. i'l be with my caravan near the shed hut things like last 2 years. might go up thursday night this year though. be good to meet some other members, you can't miss me, il be in a gold cav cdi hatch, with a old brown/white small ...

as requested, welding pics. i swear this cav was parked every night backwards into a pond. my mate who's doing the welding has spent 2 days solid on it now, and still needs to come back again tomorow to finish it off! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/cavgli/190620111727.jpg http://i11.photobuc...

Cool, just asking as it ha da good stance. how does it drive with the new springs? Brother lowered his facelift 16v SRi on 35mm H&R springs. Actually rides as comfortable if not more now (handles miles better though. Mind you he got new shocks all round. tbh as shes got no mot/tax atm, i havent...

Nice project, the plans sound good. Would be interesting to see the power gain for the mods you're doing. A bit rusty considering it's age but as said before... Cav's are rustier underneath most of the time. In saying that, your one seems worse than my dad's early SRi :o :? Love the carpet, would r...

Wow thats rusty! I think theres the reason it was at the scrap yard :( Your a brave man for carrying on with that i never put a healthy cav down ;) brave, i think mental is more the right word. still it'l be worth it in the end. picked up aload of parts for it today, really chuffed with what i got....

Wow that's really really rusty! Glad to see you back mate... so what's the plan now you know the extent of the rust? its a damm site rustier then i first thought :x never mind though, a good mate of mine has spent 5 hours yesterday starting to weld it up (as theres much more than pictured that need...

just took the rear bumper off to prep it ready for welding tomorow. my god its a damm site rustier than i first thought. the rear chassis is completely rotten, as is the boot floors. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/cavgli/160620111718.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/cavgli/16062011...

it seemed appropriate seeing as i bought it from a scrapyard where it was about to crushed.

been busy again working on the cav. she's now lowered, scorpion backbox and few other bits on it now: in the middle of lowering the old girl: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/cavgli/150620111692.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/cavgli/150620111693.jpg its abit lower than i thought it...

Looks like it could be a decent project. What happened to that blue one you had the other week? Other than missing bumpstrips it looked rather tidy. Nice to see you posting back again too. :thumb she's be great when its all done. still got the 33k blue cav, that's sitting in dry storeage, where it ...

hello all, after having bumped into squig & emma at PV on the weekend, and having saved a cavalier mk3 cdi from the scrapyard on friday, i thought it's high time i log back on, as im finally back in the ownership of cavs again. :wave here she is. K-reg Cavalier 2.0 Cdi. 5 door hatch. rembrant si...

i suppose if you look at it one way, coz it's so expensive to buy in the first place, it might be worth something in years to come, but you never know. personally, i wouldn't buy it, i'd never spend that sort of money on a model car, unless it was a model of one of my cars or something. thats what a...

im 19, and was previously driving a cavalier 2.5 CDX V6. well a 3.0 V6 one anyway.

engine is now running!!!!

havent driven her yet, as she's tappeting and i need to get all the air out the water system first, just need to get the oil pressure up, and get the oil up the top of the engine etc.

she'l be back on the road shortly.

the 3.0 is in it. and will be running on weekend, so i can get her back on the road. just spent £2000 on the engine in total, inc labour and parts, have the 3.0 rebuilt and race tuned. and its got every. ported + polished heads, superchipped ECU, custom made 3 branch manifolds + downpipes, uprated n...

yer, they bloody annoy me when they keep loosing V5's for car's ive bought.

makes it nightmare when i come to try and scrap/sell them.

heres pics of her back together now, from the bodyshop. had a square plate made at PV for it, with 'irmscher' written on the bottom. looks quite smart i think. pics: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/cavgli/Image025-3.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/cavgli/Image024-3.jpg http://i11.p...
