that looks nice and solid mate. hope you enjoy it. sort the dodgy bumpers out with a heat gun. there's a how to, on here somewhere. seems a a pity to strip out a 33k engine.

Try a heat gun on the bumpers it will bring them back to life mate

lookin good there mate nice find ;D

An what a defference you've made already to the looks very nice!

im also considering respraying the cav in either helious blue or carnelian met red?

also gona slam it by 60mm if i can, and probably fit some sri teardrop alloys, and sri boot spoiler. maybe few other bits not sure yet.

Great cavalier mate and good luck with the future mod's

But how about first spend £15 and become a member and get a proper project thread

i'dthink twice about slamming it 60mm as well. most people on here....well the old gits couldn't stand it and have gone for a lesser drop

im only 20 so its ok for me lol. my daily runner is a Vectra Gsi V6, so im used to lowered cars as mines dropped 40mm.

i'l probs just drop mine 40mm, shall see what i can lay my hands on in the way of lowering springs

Very nice and welcome 

ive got a set of brand new spax -50mm springs want them?

go for -60mm looks beat ride comfort everytime

Nice moter.I'd keep the engine in if it's only done 33,000.

Keep up the good work
