Got my powder coating back so can hopefully continue rebuilding the LET up. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04088_zps9915accf.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04090_zps223805eb.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04091_zps2672f131.jpg http://i3.photobucke...

As already stated there is no maximum distance to travel to a pre booked MOT station. If you bought the car 100 miles away and MOT'd it down there. If it failed what would you do then? Just make sure the car is visibly road worthy as in tyres etc, And that you do have a pre booked slot at an MOT st...

No real updates as such. Managed to push the 500kg shell onto my trailer for weighing in. Got £60 for it....Well happy

I've got one for when i'm in the wagon. No point in the car as i'm usually the bell end racing off

Whenever i've had the camera in my truck nothing ever happens, The one day I leave it at home and I get cut up half dozen times

It's been like 5 Christmas's all in one opening everything.

That's just transit oil off the bag. The w/pump is new.

I'm hoping so Kirsty.

Got a few goodies for the project. A smaller intercooler and pipework. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04073_zps7b1e62e4.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04074_zps6ed65b13.jpg Bilstein B8 rear shoocks. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04075_zps277540cd.jpg...

Few more pics taken today. Got the discs back from being skimmed, Also had the sump cleaned. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04052_zpse2bb672b.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04056_zps3dd33bbb.jpg Received my arch repair panels http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/elt...

Looks a clean car mate.

Reg is really close to my old Cav.

Engine completely stripped down now. The head, Sump and pick up pipe are all at the engine builders to be cleaned, head will have a light skim, Pressure test and new oil stem seals fitted. I'm waiting on my piston rings, Big end bearing and main bearings to be delivered so I can rebuild the bottom e...

Cams and caps look in good shape. Not had chance to check turbo or get the sump off. Monday the head will come off ready to go to the engine builders to have it pressure tested cleaned and new oil stem seals fitted. Also be pulling the sump off to replace big end bearings and piston rings and fit AR...

I got bored last night. So went down to the unit for a few hours. I got so into stripping the engine I didn't realise it was 11pm. Ready for the head to come off and go to the engine shop. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04026_zps54daed9d.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/...

No didn't give a lot really. What bits you needing?

Pics will keep on coming

tbh it looks worse than it is.

As you can see the bonnet has 2 massive holes so water has been allowed over the rocker etc. The oil and coolant was fresh. It turns over on the crank.
I'll be taking head and sump off, Replacing oil stem seals and Piston rings and possibly shells if they require it.

Got a bit done today, Thanks to Gaz for lending a hand. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04014_zps51696d06.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04015_zps6b5a4d56.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC04018_zps6c9a7b6e.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/elt...

The donor is an k reg gli. I prefer the SRi anyway. Plus if the blue one was a turbo it would take a lot to make it mint

Not updated for a few weeks.
The plan was to fit a B204 but stumbled across a bargain of a LET.

I'll have it Mot'd next month. Just got loads of other cars on for now so the Cav will wait.

Yea smoke grey.
tbh I wasn't expecting it to be a dog really. Drove it back 100 miles and the ecotec didn't miss a beat, No crap out of the exhaust either.
It is a really tidy original Cav.

Depends what you got mate.
PM me a list of bits you have if you can.

Not too bad. Both rear quarters have bubbled on the bit where the door shut is. I'll get that sorted soon.
Underneath there's some surface rust. I'll wire brush it all off and underseal it. The copper fuel lines are starting to rust which I'll also change.

After a while without a 90's Vauxhall on the road I had to get myself another to stop the itch so to speak lol. Here she is. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC03996_zps580c2fa0.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/DSC03995_zps8925c82d.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/el...
