WELCOME TO MY CAVALIER GSI

Post by chrisvectra »

Picked her up in the week and fallen in love she's a 1991/H with 83k on the clock 4 previous owners and a wad of service history just a shame she's white and not grey lol ( might save up and have her sprayed grey) pics are from the advert that attracted me to her

She's totally standard except for a stainless steel exhaust the wheels have never even been refurbed and the inside is almost immaculate needs a gear stick surround

The guy I bought it from explained that one headlight had a crack in the glass and couldn't get 1 headlight and had to buy a pair so that's what's in it and the old ones are in the boot.. I wanna use it as a daily driver( as I have a Vectra Vxr ) but gotta rust proof the underneath 1st and maybe spray it grey.

Very honest looking Gsi, fancy one myself when funds allow....

Know what you mean about white though, had a white astra and the minute you go out it looks filthy..

That looks very nice.

I think spraying it grey is a stupid idea, leave it white, white cars are the future.

Saw this on Pistonheads a while back, Why paint it grey, keep it original, get rid of them headlights though

Very nice looking GSI, I was going to use mine as a daily but then members on here changed my mind so I've put her away until summer, like many have said mint ones are hard to find

Its up to you but I'd like to keep it original, the lines are different if you compare prefacelift and facelift headlights.
