from what I have seen so far, small plate in nearside arch required and upon removal of the skirt 1/5 of the sill has gone from the rear end, purchased full sills but will patch up want to retain as much of the original sill as possible.
Will replace the two O/S doors too as they are dented, then into the paint shop in the spring, will be ready for her 21st Birthday

Re: Cavalier SRi 1991 2.0SEH 8V
looking good mate nice update more pics needed
Re: Cavalier SRi 1991 2.0SEH 8V
These are very rare now, thanks to the goverments scrappage scheme. If restored will be worth a bob or too in a few years, there is something about the prefacelift SRi I really like. Got a genunie Irmscher inlet and exhaust manifold along with a piper race cam with venier pully, these might be fitted one day but got fuel pipes, CV joints, wishbones and undersealing to do then its ready for MOT. More pics to follow......deanosri wrote:Looking good! i have have a hatchback sri on a H. hoping to get more pictures uploaded soon.
