Another vauxhall in the collection for now :)

Post by cavaliersri130 »

Just got this today off of a mate of mine Allan smith some may know him.
It's a calibra 2.0 8v with only 10000 + Miles on the clock.
No tax or test but she won't need much,
Last moted in 2010.
She has full mint leathers and two sets of nice looking clean alloys.
Me and my m8 got her but he's thinking of buying out my side and keeping her for himself.
If not then I'm buying his side out and having another project for the future.

She's in need of a fuel line as that's leaking and the rear brakes need doing but apparently they need two sets as they have internal shoes in the discs.
So watch this space as its either going to be me spending money or my m8 lol.

Looks good, toyed with a Calibra a couple of times, but never really nailed one down that I liked enough to buy.

Not bad. I'd have probably bought one to go with a Cavalier if only they didn't have such dreadful practicality.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

I have lol the turbo, I would love one of those.
Or a Redtop mainly for the running gear for the cavalier.

That's what my other half said and all I said was I'll use it as a work car that way the cavalier can go into dry storage and the Astra just becomes the family car entirely instead of an all round car.
