Those arches are going to look perfect when they are done; when your neighbour's see the finished result they'll see it was all worth it.

Thanks for everyone's kind comments, They all help to motivate me in to spending every spare minute on the car to get it back on the road

I'll be getting the Roof and Engine Bay sprayed blue to match all of the panels that are already done in the next few weeks, and I'm hoping to get a lot more done on the car throughout August as i've booked the whole month off of work 

Weather permitting i'll be able to make a start on stripping off the underside stone chip coating, and hopefully get some new paint on it before the winter

what blue is it going? nordic? I do like nordic blue lx's  , original plan for my blue saloon was to lx it.

I think it’s called Vauxhall Ceramic Blue? but I can find out for sure when I get home.

I had loads left from my last car which was a 1996 Vectra so I used the paint up on the Cav.

Have to agree with you though Nordic blue does look really nice on the car  . It was that colour that made me consider changing mine in the first place…..but at the time I didn’t realise the name Nordic Blue  .

Suppose it could always be changed back to a genuine Cav colour in another 20years time … my main intention at the moment is to try and keep the car rot free

nice work mate but aren't the blue panels on the car monaco blue 

monaco blue is a little lighter. Roscos cav is monaco

Ceramic blue is a sort of purply blue isn't it? Mines not stayed nordic was pretty well faded! decided on tahitti blue in the end. It was seeing that nordic blue door in one of your pics that made me ask.

Yeah, all of the blue bits that you can see in the pic's are the original panels sprayed in ceramic blue, it has a purple/blue colour when the sun hits it at the right angle  .

Its a funny colour, the camera doesn't seem to show the purpleness up all that well  ??? I did take all of the pic's on my phone though  . perhaps a proper camera would show it up better
