July 17, 200719 yr comment_62913 thanks mate where are u based ? ive also got a vec gsi thats my pride and joy but i have always wanted a mk2 cav sri in red and couldnt resist buying this when i saw it for sale I'm in Walsall in the West Midlands.Cavmad (owner before the chap who you brought it from) brought it around to me for a look and also for me to fit his rear seat belts for him.Theres a piccie of mine below. ;D Report
July 17, 200719 yr Author comment_62916 that looks fantastic mate have u any idea what the chassis is like on mine , just wondering how much welding ill be doing lol as it is going to be rebuilt Report
July 17, 200719 yr comment_62921 that looks fantastic mate have u any idea what the chassis is like on mine , just wondering how much welding ill be doing lol as it is going to be rebuilt I remember looking under the rear and seeing quite a bit of surface rust on the rails but that might be superficial as opposed to rot.When I saw it it was rather scruffy but seemed to look quite solid.I think Spleenless cleaned it up since then though.Are you taking it for an MOT soon?I'm so glad someone with an interest in these cars has brought it! ;D Report
July 17, 200719 yr comment_62924 Greetings and welcome to the site. I have one the same as yours and Matt's except mine is '83 (A). Just think, we could have a matching trio at Billing next year ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Report
July 17, 200719 yr Author comment_62926 yet mate first thing that will be done is take it for mot just to get an idea of what is needed and then it will be slowly stripped down and rebuilt but with a few small tweaks but i must state that anything changed will be completely reversable and any bits will be kept Report

Start a project thread on it ?! I would be most interested to follow your progress.Any help needed to start the thread just ask mate.Captain, thats a cracking idea about the trio thing. ;D Report
July 17, 200719 yr comment_62929 Good man. The only non-original bit about mine is the Radio/CD player. Still got the old one somewhere but it stopped working so got replaced. Might try to get it fixed sometime. Report
July 17, 200719 yr comment_62942 hello and welcome 8) good luck with your new toy ;D if i was you i'd ask the MOT inspector to go to town on the chassis legs,mine passed an mot a couple of years ago,three months later,found one of mine required welding Report
July 17, 200719 yr Author comment_62948 im going to mate well its stripped down i am going to go through everything so that there will be no rot anywere and then it will be coverd every where in waxoil /seam sealer so that there will be no chance of it happening again ;D i like the idea about billing if it is done by then as i will be doing most of the work (apart from the paint ) my self Report
