Lefty

A 2007 ford fusion 💪

Indeed, trouble was she became another “ modifying money pit “ at least the replacement I’ve bought is a non modifier lol

Failed MOT miserably on welding amongst a few other simple fixes. I sold her on the weekend 🥹

“ Next month hey? “ Well due to the Vectra and Carlton constantly swapping places at the mechanics’ it never happened lol The Vectra is now dead though ( MOT failure ) so I did actually pop around to the garage other day to fire her up and possibly fit the 4 to 5 stud adapters to put the newly refurbished Vectra GSi rims on now that they’re not going on said dead Vectra. Nope, told me to f**k off! Just turning over, maybe have another look on the weekend, or maybe have myself an early bonfire 🔥 🔥 🔥 😄

Usually in January kid lol

The estate was down the other end by the food trucks

Great to see you all again, albeit briefly over the weekend. Big thanks to Jason and Tony for fixing my water leak, got home with no further problems 💪💪💪 Here’s some pics of MK2’s 😎

I’ll be there with East Side Vauxhall, probably in the Vectra 😎

So still not done much tbh, but now I’ve spent money on my Vectra B, some essential maintenance and upgrades, and I finally have my Carlton MOT’d after finding some ABS sensors 🤗 this one’s next in line for a visit to my mechanic, probably next month due to funds / time 💪

Been trying to copy and paste a link but it’s not having it 🤷‍♂️

Yes it’s 23rd until the 27th. It is on the website, I’ve just been on 👍

Thanks, the pics don’t do them justice, very happy 👌 One day they’ll be fitted lol

Some green bits 😎

East Side Vauxhall Owners’. They used to be East Side Vectra Owners’ but obviously that was a bit limited. Based in the Peterborough area, really friendly club, I showed with them last year with Carly

Not sure if they’re contacted you Tony or not, but early bird weekender tickets now available ( around 400 ) through a member code. The more you sell the bigger stand you get. I’ve bought mine through ESVO as I’m planning on fleeting between the two of you 👍

In a word slow! Due to motivation ( lack of ) and a dodgy knee ( which is slowly getting better 👍 ) Fix the fuel leak then I can send her to have the steering rack changed, timing belt kit / water pump and lowering springs fitted. I did drop off the power cap, timing belt cover and rocker cover to be powder coated green yesterday 😎

Home about an hour or so ago, hope all make / made it home safe 💪 Brilliant weekend, nice to see old faces and meet new ones too. Roll on next year in a CAVALIER not #SpiritoDePunto 😂

Gates close at 9pm

Rather than try and find an original air box and pipe for the engine ( and the ECU’s current position will foul it anyway, which eventually will move inside the car ) which are rare and expensive, I thought I’d go down the “ boy racer “ route lol Got to have the steel pipe cut down but you get the jist 👍

Slow progress with juggling work, two other projects, a dodgy knee and trying to chill too! lol Popped round earlier in a huff after the £70 flex plate bolts I bought from America for my MK3 were the wrong thread stopping me from refitting the engine! 😣 Fitted new plugs / colour coded ( almost! 🤩 ) leads and 20 litres of fresh fuel to see if it would cure the backfiring, it’s better 👍 Tightened gear selector, I now have all gears it seems. Fitted the plug cover I got from GreyDJ too. Fuel pipe is leaking on the inlet so have to sort that another day. Oil flush / change next and maybe trial fit the turbo rims with the 15mm 4 to 5 stud adapters 👍

Hello 👋 Welcome to the group 😎

Yes, very familiar 👍 Yh quite a few despite my love of a saloon, my very first cav was a Y reg white hatch 1.6L 😎

Indeed I am 😎 Feels weird owning one again after all this time lol

Thanks ☺️ On first early inspection both arches, standard lol which he had and I paid £20 for ( I’d have got them for free if his wife wasn’t there, she didn’t miss a trick 😂 ) front of both inner arches where they meet the sill, and at least one lower rear corner. Not had a good delve but early impressions are good tbh, we shall see 👍

Hello 👋 So, here we are again, a MK2 Cavalier owner once more after stupidly selling my mint Black SRi saloon “ The Bomber “ to Blitz in August 2013, who I know has looked after her very well 💪 I was bidding on the Green A plate 1.3L the other day, but I changed my mind and Charlie Cavalier won it instead to go with A32LTM 👍 The very next day this popped up in my eBay, so I messaged the seller for some info, owned by her dad for 10 yrs who is now ill of health, been parked for 3., so I made an offer and collected it on Saturday to go with my 1989 Opel Vectra A LHD, and my 1993 Carlton Diplomat 😎 A few holes / rusty bits here and there, but in general a good shell to build on. Redtop engine Chipped ECU apparently Recent ( ish ) rear brakes New rear shocks New stainless middle section Keep you updated with progress, Abo 👋
