cavalier cdx v6 saloon
well it didnt take long for me to get another cav. I really miss my old cav and since getting a place to work on a car I though its a good time to get another.
its a blue cdx saloon so it has all the goodies, 4 electric windows, electric sunroof, leather ect...
here is the ebay advert for the car if anyone hasn't seen it:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Future-Classi ... true&rt=nc
was up early so i could have a look around and take some bits off, boot floor, battery tray well most of the car seems solid. bar the drivers rear arch witch isnt too bad really and a small hole in the corner of the boot.
plans for the car, well im keeping the astra as a daily and this will be my project. but i want to get as much irmscher stuff as i can lights bumpers ect.. doubt i will stick with the v6 even though it seems a mint engine.

Knew it wouldn't be long before we saw you with another Cav...
Automatic not my preference but be interested in this build, especially if its anything as good as your last Cav.

Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: cavalier cdx v6 saloon
Saab Turbo in one of these would be a nice touch. Either way, manual box is the way to go!

Re: cavalier cdx v6 saloon
Seen this on eBay & fancied it myself . Too far away though for me to venture. I fancy a v6 auto myself tbh as I'm a hack driver & up n down gears all day . Think I'm getting lazy in my old age good luck with it matey
Re: cavalier cdx v6 saloon
I'd fit the F20 box if it were mine, irmscher kit, GSi Veccy rims, job done

Re: cavalier cdx v6 saloon
rear end is mint, inner wings need some attention but nothing that a flapper wheel, krust and seam sealer wont sort out and a good coat of underseal.
good buy Dan that, a solid base to work from

Press the "S" button on the stick and boot the kick down switch.
You here it changing gear then you get thrown into your seat.
Auto's are great fun, But Do a step by step guild in how to swap an auto v6 to a manual saab lump.
As I want to do this, and would be handy if you do it first :-p
