Welcome Gordon, looks a cracker. Look forward to updates.

Thank andyf21, looks like a cracking site loads of info to keep me busy

Is this the one that was on eBay in Swansea?

Welcome to the site mate

Welcome mate was this the cav on eBay a couple weeks back I saw it thought it was was watching it

Yes it was the one from Swansea.810mile round trip,that was a long day

i was gonna say thats a bloody long trip from Newcastle, glad to hear it was worth the miles thou

Its was a bit rougher than he described on the phone but knocked him down on price

iF you don't mind me asking how much you get it for mate looks good I like it keep us all posted on it

No problem it was £1400 like I say body work is close to mint there was no interior just 2 vectra b gsi front seats with no runners on and the engine is a bit rough

Shouldn't be to much to sort out then hopefully that's alright

The only thing I'm finding daunting is there's no head lining not to sure how it goes up its been 20 years since I've been in a mk2 can't remember what it looks like, I've nothing to work from

Someone will have a rough one to use as a template and people have them made up brand new from that. Brett on here had just that done and I think I'll need one for the Ched.

Its not so much getting the head lining it's the fitting it from the torn little bits left around the windscreen it looks like it tucks right under windscreen seal, thats the only bit left I've no clue how it attaches to the back there nothing there at all

Hello Gordon, the car looks good.  Welcome to the mad house 8)
