Howdy All

Post by rp9524 »

Hi everyone :-)

Became the proud owner of a 92 Cavalier SRi this morning, its seen better days, and ive decided to put my all into getting it looking good again! Its my second one, the first was a 91 1.6 L which was my second car about 4 years ago.

Has some probs to sort, mainly bodywork, which needs lots of bits resprayed and replaced, then a few gaskets, and a new bettery and alternator, at least i think it does lol. Im not a mecanic at all, it has the battery light on the dash, and even after a 10 mile drive from being dead, was unable to start back up, just a really dead or broke battery? or could the alt be broke? Thanks for any input!! :scratch

Anywhoo, nice to meet you all!

Thanks for the welcomes :cool

Changed the battery as it was down to half its cells, when the engine in running now its all fine dashwise, untill i push the accelerator, then the alt light comes back on :wall

Looks like a trip to the salvage yard is on the books lol
