They used the golf gti bee sting style aerials to improve reception and general look of the car. Additionally helped with phones of the era. I also see that the side wing indicators a...

Re: Cavalier restoration

Any recommendations where I can buy original sill (inner,outer), rear arches as the fit is very good .... failing that, some good aftermarket one’s for cavalier turbo? Also looking at replacing the bonnet as it’s got mk3 Astra gsi vents .. which I don’t like and cheaper then removing & repairing...

Re: Cavalier restoration

Thanks Robsey... I’ll have to do some investigation. I’m pretty sure it’s IRS as it’s an extension to the gsi.

Also It’s time to get the shell into the metal works... sills, arches, chassis rails...

Re: Cavalier restoration

Lots happening behind the scene - updates to follow.

Does anyone know if the cavalier turbo and calibra turbo rear chassis legs are the same...?

Or are they all the same on all cavalier / calibra models...?

Robsey pretty much covered from all angles. Personally speaking, I’m getting my cavalier turbo engine rebuilt and it’s costing a lot... It’s stripped to individual components and head /block have been chemically dipped to clean all the passageway - so going the full extra hog and beyond!!! Due to th...

Thanks Robsey. I did check and managed to source one, although someone beat to the purchase. The cams covers are silver (Matt) ... but not completely solid. It’s more two tone, sprinkle of dust particles The ht cover is red and white lettering. There isnt a standard as it varied with each car. Cars ...

Re: Hi everyone I've a cav 4x4 16v gsi

Nop sorry - try the breakers ... there’s loads dotted around the country. Perhaps check before purchase. Don’t throw the old away until you’ve taken off the boot locking unit... you may also see code label

Also worth checking what else you may need..
