rear bumper support

No the only ones that are different is the hatch doesn't fit on a saloon which I discovered when I changed mine they are longer so the bumper sticks out a lot more.
Just straighten yours in a vice it's easy.

Re: Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone projec

Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone project.

Cavalier passed her mot again today with no advisories. I'm so happy the mot testers couldn't believe how clean she was and said there's nothing wrong with the old girl and she's immaculate. So another year of driving, well when I'm not stripping her that is lol. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...

Re: Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone projec

Well cavs big day is here, she's got her mot at 2:30 today. I really hope she's ok. The only problem I've found with the new front end full of parts is for some reason she's sitting higher than before can't figure out why? Think it might be her new shocks need to settle down abit but she's near stan...

Re: Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone projec

I've also got her back on all wheels today and looking good and ready for her mot. She's got new bearings,hubs,wishbones,track rod ends, droplinks and shocks. So hopefully she should pass. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/26/14f2c965b63160ce35d6dbf97906be54.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/...

Re: Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone projec

Well, whilst I'm impressed , I'm not sure why you painted the hub faces? That will possibly lead to the disc not sitting straight on the hub. Either way - hows things going back together? :) Cheers don't worry those hubs are now surplus to requirements I've got new ones now as the old ones a part o...

Re: Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone projec

Well after loads of struggling the other day I realised the legs that I had refurbed were useless the bearing hole was way to big and the hub from the 1600 wouldn't fit into a bigger bearing. So I've had to buy new bearings and hubs, don't mind though as that means everything is brand new now. Just ...

Re: Another vauxhall in the collection for now :)

Not bad. I'd have probably bought one to go with a Cavalier if only they didn't have such dreadful practicality. That's what my other half said and all I said was I'll use it as a work car that way the cavalier can go into dry storage and the Astra just becomes the family car entirely instead of an...

Another vauxhall in the collection for now :)

Just got this today off of a mate of mine Allan smith some may know him. It's a calibra 2.0 8v with only 10000 + Miles on the clock. No tax or test but she won't need much, Last moted in 2010. She has full mint leathers and two sets of nice looking clean alloys. Me and my m8 got her but he's thinkin...

Re: Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone projec

Started the rebuild on the front end. Three days worth of struggling to get the shocks out but done it in the end. And then I had to buy new wishbones as the balljoints wouldn't come off. Only thing left to do now is change the bearings and the hub over. All my new parts. http://images.tapatalk-cdn....
