Yeah, A real rusty 1 owner belmont 1.6 GL

I bet your rear ARB ends will need repairing. Just a heads up

There is a small difference to saloon rear lights and hatch ones.

Just a quick update to say all is well after the oil pump failed. Engine is fine. I've only this last few days been bothered to build it back up. I'm going to tax it for this month and then Sorn again for winter as I have a few plans I want to do over winter. Can't wait get it out the garage it's lo...

I would say that bulkhead rot has been festering for years before you had the rear inner and outer arch's done. How are the repairs holding up that were done by turbo tom? Also it looks like rust buster went a bit mad with the spray gun

The noise only when the engine is warm?

I had the same noise when i first got my SRi, Turned out to be the cambelt was way too tight.

The 28th came and we had a pass.. :o Insured the car for £112 with footman James, Cheaper than both my Cavaliers. I've been running the car a few weeks now and found a few more things that want sorting. First off is the car seems to lack power under 3000 RPM, A quick search online and it seems my ca...

Next day, I took the car to the local garage, basically to see what was needed for the mot. I was expecting a few 100 quids worth of suspension stuff and maybe some welding because these car's do like to rust just like our lovely Cavaliers. I was very shocked indeed, No welding needed at all and loo...

Started to clean up really nice, Only lacquer peel is on the boot and a small patch on the o/s front wing. Only thing on the car not working was the heater, £25 used heater blower motor and that was sorted. http://i68.tinypic.com/24do6bn.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/f2r29y.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/1...

I got the car towed back to a friends house, I had no room. The running problem was the in-tank fuel pump £29 later and the car was running. http://i67.tinypic.com/mae879.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/158b7m0.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/24v4s9i.jpg http://i64.tinypic.com/1zof6on.jpg http://i67.tinypic.c...

So i was at that farm again.. Same one the blue Cavalier came from. Ended up buying a non running kashmir beige BMW e34, I must be mad..

Its been sitting here since 2009 not long after its mot..

The drop links look like the ones my diesel cavalier had fitted. Ball joint type.

Same as above, 10w40 GM oil.

Yes in the ford world i would be looking for alot more but its the vauxhall world we live in are people dont want to pay!

Sale for on eBay. I would like £100 for it, Owes me double that price easy with the exhaust/ buying the car in the first place.

Nearly sounds like a range rover add.

Just drop the car off with btcctroy if he is willing to do the work.

Looks like the black bumper bits have been sprayed in the past.

z20let/h oil pump, Seems to be the best upgrade over the std pump. Everything has been ordered so just waiting now.

Oil pump failed. Looking into the Z20let/h upgrade..

Lost all pressure at idle until the revs picked up. Main & big end shells seem to have survived.

Mk3 Cavalier Rust Buster..

Have you not seen his work Sam, Maybe worth the trip and buy a cheap run around while your car is been sorted?

Cant be that bad it needs a reshell!?

Just remember not all the mk2 2.0 8v engines were the 20SEH 130bhp, Most are 20NE 115.

They no longer want a 'SRi' They want a turbo 4x4.. Very strange to compare the turbo with a xr4x4 LOL
