Super89's 1992 Vauxhall Cavalier Expression 16SV

[Super89]

Just picked up my 2nd Cavalier for £175 well happy, Was up on ebay for £195 locally was going to get it for the seats and that and scrap it...but far too good for that. going to give it a good clean out (dog hair) and clean the engine bay as its been covered in grease. Drives very nice love how the engine sounds too not bad performance aswell for a 1.6.

Will get some more pics tomorrow after a good clean down

A few pics after a service & a quick wash. Was thinking about getting the front and rear bumpers colour coded, Just the grey inserts. What do you guys think?













Im well pleased with it. Super clean & the engine runs spot on. Just need to de grease the engine bay really.

I really lovge the retro look of Prefacelifts!

And that interior is class!

[cavaliersri130]

I love this cavalier and yeah that interior is pretty cool.

The GSI. Rear lights look better as well Just need to detango them.

[James McGrath]

Looks much better with those SRi hubcaps and GSi rear lights really suit it.

keep the bumpers original though, don't see many of them about now. Get some AutoGlym bumper and trim gel to darken them up if your not happy with them.

I must ask you how does she sound and run with that k and n filter on her as I'm thinking of getting one in the future for my old bird?

Will have to try and get a small vid of it from inside & out
