Great result, especially those rims, and that steering wheel! Here's one for the ideas box... Chrome door handles ?

hopefully the garage wont be empty for long... then its time to fill it with mk11 essentials, Mig welder, cv joints, headlamps, lock sets etc etc😄

Are they out of kiddie seats? My mk2 cav rear belts didnt go around the younger seats, and fitted in the front my daughter jumped out of her skin every time the wipers went...

slightly off topic... spotted an immaculate Chevane van on a trailer late Friday evening Nr Birmingham on the M6, and a driving HSR on the A14 Sat 5pm. Assumption made both at Sywell...

check for rot... old rot and badly repaired rot! Usual suspects include rear chassis, arches, inner & outer sills, floors sometimes bulkheads and around the front turret. Not much is unrepairable, theres a whole world of ongoing projects on these pages for inspiration😀

Hi Cole, The mk3 Expression was (if I recall from my days in sales) around J or K plate, so 1991/2, in a light metallic blue or red, had the Cavalier LX alloys and similar black/red striped seat trim to the Astra SX. A 1987 Cavalier could have been added with the expression graphics by a car dealer... We badged up some Corsa's as " Monaco " as we fitted aftermarket TSW monaco wheels and put the SRI spoiler on. Good luck with the viewing, be good to see the pics🙂

Dont forget Oxbow😄 if I recall, Oakley boasted Thermonobular protection...

looks amazing. Other than the Range Rover, pic could be summer 1991

Very interesting project. Put that motor in my shell, the engine and 'box would run off into the distance🤣 I see another VW rim being put to good use! I use a Golf 'R' rim to store my hosepipe...

Christ, Calibre's that move! Seems I need to get a catering pack of P40 and fire the welder up 😄

dont rule out an Astra "H", less prone to rotting for a start😎

if i recall, the 5 speed was optional at a cost of around £200...its amazing how many standard 4 speeds were sold!

very nice, just keep that Astra away from it, the gearbox self destruction mode is contagious...

That reminds me, where did I leave the mig welder...

that's some collection... bet you're never short of "stuff to do"🙂

always good to see a 2 door... make sure shes protected underneath for uk conditions

Hi Ron, I'm saying SNAP! Sad circumstances but you're lucky to have a low mileage one owner calibre... Keep us posted with the roll out!

looking good! i didnt know about the doors being different! found this for sale in Ireland

no denying the complexity but yes it can be trimmed, not something ive the skill or patience for though! 🙂

dont forget the dash board is likely to be cracked... excuse for a re-trim😁

theres a simple switch fitted on the drivers door, under where the mirror fits if I remember. You only need the actuator/servo motor when you fit remote locking

nice car, have to say great combination of engine, body and colour! and smoke side repeaters too...

A mate who owned E100HFE went to Litchfield 20 odd years back to collect the last rear box on the rack.... hens teeth then, let alone now!

very nice, almost standard too which makes a change

and me! I wonder, is she still called Ethel? Other than the Saab's year, that picture could be from 20 years ago!!
