Re: Hi everyone I've a cav 4x4 16v gsi
Welcome mate Sorry to hear about your illness - hope all is well now. Congrats on the car. Great car in the day, I had one (okay a few...) Parts are still available but you’ll have to search for them, often high and low. For cav turbo it’s even harder. I’m restoring my cav turbo... Hope to see some ...

Re: Cavalier restoration
I was hoping to get the car back on the road, but realistically don’t see happening this part of the year. Here’s a quick commercial update... Shell has returned from the chemical dippers. Well it’s still one piece, but some repairs are required. Engine wise, completely stripped and some specialists...

Question is : what is a classification of a “dealer / trader”? Do you run a business, registered / company house, have dealer insurance, business receipt,...

Re: Cavalier restoration
Trust me mate, it’s hard and I work away.
Dare I say it, I should have kept one of the gsi’s ... for parts.
Hopefully I will get some response in a few days from one of my contacts - fingers crossed.

Re: Cavalier restoration
If you got a template, try getting them 3D printed.... if you know someone
I did check locally, but one offs are toooo expensive, cheaper buying originals (but no longer available)

Re: Cavalier restoration
Yes ... in fact two, a replacement for my car and a spare - very hard to get.
Plus cavalier gsi and standard air bag steering wheels.
They all have some wear but perfectly useable
And lots of fuel display, including German ones!

Re: cavalier GSI restore
I suggest to get the car on the lift and check the underneath of the car, sills and critical areas. I’ll be surprised if there’s nothing hiding behind the body kit panels - generally it’s area where water gets trapped. However saying that you’re in hot area of the world so might be lucky. What’s the...

Re: Cavalier restoration
Makes big difference and also items have gone to good causes...
Still have lots to check thru and organise the parts ... lucky most are boxed original parts.
I’ve got about 3-4 very large boxes full of trim and fittings / mixture of steering wheels... including some original turbo parts.

Re: Cavalier restoration
Spent the weekend with a major clear out of the garage... had the bigger items collected with booking.
Several visits to the charity shop and recycle depot, I can see the other side of the garage... hurray!!
Now I have better access to my boxed parts.

Re: Cavalier restoration
Did you drill out the steering gear mounts? If not, do so. Everytime lots of corrosion inside. I’ll have to check, but most parts will be replaced. I’m looking to get some new window and center window console switches. The existing ones work fine, but I want new all round as old have marks or scrat...
