cavalier project b204

[belmont_dazz]

I got a loom adaptor from another member on migweb. Involves wiring up the lives, but you have to wire up your own auxilary loom. But to do it neatly your chasing wires and got alot of taping to do ha.

Couple more pics. Most of the work done was under the car or wiring.




Today was mostly making stuff fit.

[Lowrider Dave]

Superb effort!

[belmont_dazz]

Thanks!

Quick pic of the 3" exhaust iv made for the old girl before i weld it up properly.

[belmont_dazz]

After a weeks use with no problems iv fit 5stud and some ilstein shockers.
Got a couple pics
Saab wheels only on for now untill i get some more

[TurboDan]

That looks mint, really neat conversion.

Do you not have the tophat cover to put on too?

[Stoater85]

Thanks, i do have a cover but its on my saab! Going to pinch it

[belmont_dazz]

nice, keep it sleeper spec

Im tempted to but id like some nicer wheels. I have been known for my sleeper specs ha

[cavaliersri130]

Nice one m8.
She's looking good, how easy was this conversion was there much fiddling involved?.

[belmont_dazz]

Its actuall quite easy, its only fiddly with where to put everything.
Mine took abit longer than the last one i did but it looks so much more original.wirings abit of a nightmare though!
Engine itself bolts straight in

[cavaliersri130]

Sounds the same as when i done the Arh conversion bits are fiddly drops straight in but wiring got me and made my job longer.
I would love to do this conversion but I'm too lazy now with all that sort of stuff lol.
Maybe one day.

[belmont_dazz]

Its worth it definatly!

The saab wheels look OK to me different to everyone else, would be better if refurbed.

I did consider ru bing them down and repainting but wasnt sure if they would be staying on and i was short of time today. Ill probably pai t them a darker grey, thats if i keep them.

Plenty of room left over for an AF20


Must admit, the engine seems to look at home in there, i.e. not too cramped. Very well done on the project so far, I may get to your skill level one day, never know.

Thanks. I like to make things look at home, ive always been an oem look person. I hate things looking out of place/modified.
As for skill level, its peices of metal, can always be changed/fixed. See the good parts not the bad if you get what i mean
I dont know of anyone putting an auto in, i think the saab auto box is very similar to af20. You could be th first to do it ha!!

[HAIRIBO]

Very impressed, would you ever consider being paid to do this conversion on someones car? (IE mine) lol

Really want to stick a turbo in my v6auto cesaro.

[gsi pie]

love it dude

Id consider it, done plenty of conversions for and with friends! Starting the same one for my brother next week.
The only problems or worries i have is no matter what theres always a few teething problems which the distance between us would make it awkward!

Cover my fuel and abit of beer/food money ill come up and help you do it!

[belmont_dazz]

love it dude

Thanks mate

[HAIRIBO]

Good stuff! I'm thinking of trying to find a Envoy saloon as a base car now. As its already manual, and has no sunfoof and manual window doors. Idea for a BTCC replica, Plus Enoy insurance is cheaper than a V6. Means I can sell the V6 on, once I've tidied it up.



Great sleeper, I'd get some 5 stud steel wheels for it!

[Chip Pan Dan]

awesome, get some videos up when you're driving it dude

[belmont_dazz]

Ye that would be good! What engine would you be using for the rep?

Steel wheels - it has crossed my mind but i think it needs to be abit faster first to scare off a few exotic cars
An old cav with steelies beating an r8, now thats my liking!

[belmont_dazz]

Cheers bud. Ill try get some in nicer weather as grip is non existent till endvof 4th gear in this weather!
It does drive really smooth though! Much nicer than when it was in my mk2 astra! Just not as fast thats all.
