as newbody is kindly bringing a 240 volt genetator i have just finished making up a lead with 2 light fittings to bring some light to the gazebo and i will be also bringing a 6 metre rope light to provide a bit of a party atmosphere and a laptop with an sd card reader so we can look at the photos taken during the day

will do another item to add to the billing kit

ive got a 6 metre rope light in white or an 300 watt floodlight i can bring along to billing

count me in ive got myself booked in ;D whats the score on spec sheets as mines looking a bit jaded :-[

ive got a spare tent you could borrow just ask anyone who was at billing 2 years ago what its like ;D ;D ;D

don't hesitate mate the old saying go's he who snoozes loses and hesitation can be fatal if i did the same with my ascona it would have ended up being raced

i may be getting on a bit but i was sure it was a GL now just go and get it just look at that gorgeous green interior saying come and save me ;D ;D ;D

hear hear and you can't get a much earlier GL than an x reg ;D

didn't teezer say his 82 sr didn't have a l/h door mirror when he got it i'm sure if you take a close look at the photo you can see a gl badge on the tailgate

lovely asconas you have got there you are very lucky getting road tax free on cars over 25 years old unlike the tight fisted gits in govenment over here > > >

ive just had a close look at the photos and it a gl spec giveaways are what looks like chrome rings on the wheels a 4 spoke cd type steering wheel what looks like green dash and velour seats and there is a GL badge on the tailgate so pirate go and grab it ;D ;D ;D

which one is that

yes mate she's got all 4 wheels fitted and not a brick in sight lol ;D ;D ;D

Ive got one its a 1.3 base spec saloon there not very common as they were overlooked in favor of the upmarket models like the sri/130's and the cdi when people started to appreciate their up and coming classic car status ;D

that would be the one owned by frisco 8)

here you go mate this is the one blitz has got http://www.mk2cav.com/forum/index.php?topic=14727.0 just click on the link to see the car

we have had a couple of early gls's on here recently but they may have been broken up for parts by now a member called blitz had a red gls saloon he may still have it intact

congratulations on finding an early estate not many of them left now you should have a chat with newbody and rabbit between them they have 3 estates i'm sssooo glad you are going to keep her standard'ish you should join the club as it will give you full access to hard to find parts and advice its the best £15 ive spent in a long while as for attending shows we hold several events throughout the year the best one being the vboa meeting in early july http://www.mk2cav.com/body/media/video/cavvids/eventsvids/billing2009_FINAL_1MB_.wmv just click on the link to see lasts years show

happy days ;D ;D ;D lots of time left to get her ready for billing The first time i attended billing with my ascona i only had 6 weeks to prepare her for showing and this included an engine transplant i made it with a week to spare ;D ;D ;D

you can get a cd with ascona/cavalier photos off ebay here is the link to it http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Cavalier-Ascona-C-Photo-Collection-CD-450_W0QQitemZ270473686100QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Vehicles_Manuals_Litterature_ET?hash=item3ef97cec54 nice to hear from another ascona owner she looks very smart here's a couple of photos of my ascona sr/e

a Y reg runs from 1st august 1982 to 31 july 1983 :D

welcome back to the site you are right to say the sr's are rare I'm sure there are only 8 sr's left 5 hatches and 3 saloons if you need any advice on restoring her engine wise talk to teaser as he got an Sr like yours good luck with your project ;D ;D ;D

and me ;D ;D ;D

in Rosco's case i think pink would be more appropriate ;D ;D ;D

that looks fantastic 8) 8) 8) 8)
