That isn't even funny....

that was a joke btw.


you need to set yourself a budget and decide what you want from it. also is the car a daily driver?
as you wouldn't like it if it was a harsh and bumpy ride.

uprated shocks and lower stiffer springs for handeling. for looks get the grinder out.

i didn't have anywhere to do an oil change at the time. was a 1.6 8V engine. was quite nippy.

my sisters old cav didn't have a service in the 4+ years she had it, bar an air filter and a set of plugs i think?
still started every day!

pretty much the same as looking at a MK3 astra, look for rust every where, check service history,
when was the cambelt and water pump done last. don't forget it could be an 8V engine.

got an spare you can put in the post?
i need to do some work on both my cars, but can't be bothered!

decent spot weld drill bit.

because i can't get a reuild kit for it.

i have a shit carb thats getting worse, been thinking of putting a bigger engine in.

need pics of both cars.





btw welcome to the forum.

i bearly get 40 miles to a tenner in my 1.1 fiesta! (lots of short trips with the choke out)

it's only since i joined this forum though.

i would like to get hold of another wheel really, but haven't found a single one yet.

was out collecting a sofa and kept seeing MK3 cavs every where! must have been about 5 or 6 in the space of half an hour.

also have these to go when i've painted them: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/sp_69/03042010321.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/sp_69/03042010322.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/sp_69/03042010323.jpg i paid £40 for them with tyres but the tyres were past it. the damaged rim...

This is my sister's MK4 Astra. Was bought for £1200 with a new mot and 6 months tax in may of 2007. It's got a cat back stainless steel exhaust, de-restricted air box (thanks to getting a total vauxhall mag) with a green panel filter. Had been played with before it was bought as it's lost it's alloy...

1.6 L so base spec. got plans for it, have done a fair bit of welding to it. but have no money at the moment.

e reg MK2 fiesta. also have an f reg orion in the garage.

just joined the forum as i saw a link in someones sig on vxon. i'm a ford owner (don't shoot me yet!), but my sister likes vauxhalls. she had a chevette estate years ago but didn't have it on the road long, then a couple of other cars,then a G reg MK3 cav in gold. that lasted a few years but got too...
