An update on the Cavalier we brought back from France in December. Exhaust gets welded, a new sill and arch welded in and new interior fitted with Astra convertible front seats and CD rear seats and carpet
Great progress on Le Cav. Brilliant to see so much of the good stuff from Fab live on too. Hopefully the wee leak is an easy find and fix. Also good to see the Astra estate doing something useful. Im intrigued to see what happens to it now you've got the Saab as well as the Omega now
Nice work Dougie the engine sounds great, can't wait to see her on the maiden voyage. Would a Vectra B leather interior fit into a La Cavalier that would look super slick.
My best mate had N238HBJ a bright red Cav 2ltr 16v glsi saloon manual when we were about 21/22 years old circa 1999/2000 time #funfact All 'BJ' ending registrations were originally registered around the Bury St Edmunds area of Suffolk
Don't know if you are aware of this stuff, but you might want to try Bulldog BDX - think of it along the lines of WD40, but a hell of a lot more effective and it even has longer term lubricating properties. Not cheap, but by God is it good.
@@OnceDrivenForeverSmitten not seen it in a long time! I'd say that BDX is as good if not better. Ping me a message if you want a link or putting in touch with the guy from the factory
Good progress but for me the original interior should have stayed in…. the original car was such a survivor, shame to fill it with random salvaged bits ?
Owned one. It was absolutely terrible. I vowed never to have another vauxhall and that was 20 years ago. I recently purchased a astra gtc and the engjne blew up before i had even collected the car. Never ever ever buy vauxhall they are truly awful!!!
Sounds badd and unlucky. I’ve had many Vauxhalls and they have all been great for me. And loved the fact that most parts fitted other models and they were easy to fix. Shame you had a bad experience but we all have different stories on cars! 😄👍
