Re: my cav turbo 4x4 work in progress
I am keeping the Vectra wheels, and fit them for shows and meets etc, but for every day driving the turbo alloys will be on, it only takes 10 mins to change them over. Ads

Re: my cav turbo 4x4 work in progress
fitted the top hat cover that my dad carbon fibre hydro dipped, it looks really good I think, still to fit the plug cover he did, as the allen bolt I had were not big enough http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll184/andysri/WP_20160407_002_zpskhvznx5z.jpg http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll184/andy...

Re: humbucker's 1994 Vauxhall Cavalier Turbo 4x4 (Turbo #2)
