Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Sorry, i couldnt resist, just been nosing on pistonheads dreaming of what Cav i cant afford (some nice SRi's on there ) and came across this, has to be THE worst paint fade EVER!!!

seen worse water based paints i assume . i personal prefer to shave than wax those parts .

Dear god....it's Pinky!

how come its got shiny front wings and a shiny lip spoiler but the rest is that bad???

worse than that is someone paid £350 for it

its looking a bit sorry for its self.it wouldnt be hard to bring it all back though

Bet craig could polish all that up, make it look mint

without a doubt,he would do a mighty fine job

i saw this on pistonheads aswell and i thought hmmmmm, lol mechanically it sounded like it had been looked after, just not body wise, some bits would come back but some of it is beyond repair really.

If its sound, £350is a fair price, flame red is difficult to keep right and it is very demoralising when your hard work is ruined by the first tosser on the motorway..

If it has arches, floors and sils.. even with a fooked engine I'd pay reasonable money for an SRi.

Calm down Gary, was just saying the paint is a disgrace, that only happens when someone cant be arsed looking after it. Theres a lovely cav dippy on VXON now thats nicer than that and its only £350. That red cav is going to need a respray thats more money on top of the £350!!!

i wasn't having a go if i ws you'd have gotten it via pm
just saying that a little work is whats scrapping cavs off day in day out these days is all.

OK then
i wasnt saying scrap it, if its sound why do that?? Just saying that isnt gonna be a £350 car for anyone, if they want it to look nice its gonna need a respray, which will add another £500 minimum maybe more on top of it. Unless the bloke who bought can spray in which case he's laughing his ass off

thats the worst case of paint fade iv ever seen

bit of G3 and that would be worth alot more than 350

give it a mop and it will likely be back to new gleaming red although you have to keep on top of it and foxy it would be polish you would need to try get colour back no wax
