Hi Jake welcome to the site. We really need more info on the cars e.g hatch or saloon, and photos are a great place to start, can you post some please? Also where are you and do you have a price in mind.

A very warm welcome Leon. Very pleased you took my advice and posted over here. Looking forward to the photos of your progress. In case you have not spotted it they are hi res so with a reasonable screen they can be pretty good. If you enjoy the experience here please consider joining the Club and we will move the thread to Members Garage. Hope you have taken a look at some of the other construction threads for a bit of inspiration. Oh, and where are you?

Probably Saturday as its a full day. As you are a member you are entitled, subject to space, to put your non Cav in the back of our stand.

Had the reply. "Yes, dogs are allowed as we are separate from the airfield, however, they are not allowed inside the buildings and must be kept under control."

I'll ask. But probably not as its an operational airfield.

Would be good to see you again.

This is the gathering information on who is coming thread. As in previous years please do not amend the initial master summary post. Please add your own post with the information requested and a Mod will add it to the master list before deleting it. Again, do not put chat here as it will be deleted. Put it in the chat thread. VBOA want to know 1. How many vehicles on the stand per day. We want to know how many are Mk2 Cavaliers and how many are others, Vauxhall or not. 2. How many tents and their approx size e.g. 2, 3 , 4 person etc 3. Any caravans/motorhomes/trailers if any, as space may be limited. So, when you say you are coming please state - name (handle and real), what car, which day(s) - if overnight your tent size (people capacity), motorhome, caravan etc Thanks

Hi Mark, welcome to the Forum. Where are you?

Thread now live. This year is the 40th anniversary of our Cavalier's introduction. Yes, and it doesn't seem long since the 30th does it? We got over 30 then, how close to 40 can we get this year?

Thought they had 5 holes.

In some ways Cavalier ownership needs to be seen as an addiction. A decent SRi is probably around £5k.

Its the Gen GM battery tray test tool.

Welcome to the site Kieran. We need 'before' photos John

Good to see you around. From another Cavweb oldie

VBOA meeting this morning announced that the show is still on. Subject to Government guidelines etc.

Sounds a plan. Shouldn't be seized unless the water has gone. I'd take the plugs out and see if it turns by hand, if it does put a battery on and see. You could be pleasantly surprised, the tappets will rattle a bit before the oil gets up properly. Could put a smile on your face, at that mileage the engine/gearbox shouldn't need rebuilding. Are you going to upgrade the front brakes with the 256mm 2.0 Mk3 brakes? Its the best and easiest mod on the car.

Given its mileage and where its been there is a very good chance its in good nick underneath. I'm with Greg on this, before you start restoring it get it going and put it through an MoT test. If you let you daughter do much of the work, firing it up and passing the test will give her a huge boost at the start of the project. Rather than just facing an endless stream of jobs with no idea of what will be the end result. She will then experience the Cavalier happiness bubble that it generates in most people who see one on the road.
