I have been flat out getting the car ready for PVS as I only got the car back Wednesday afternoon and it had no interior and bodyshop dust everywhere. So I had a few long days getting it ready for Sat morning.

This when I collected it from the bodyshop

Headlining and seat belts refitted with the rest of the interior:

The most awesome Polar Sea Blue Cavalier you will ever see.

I have always loved this car - something for my Cavalier to aspire to.

Didn't realise it is Polar Sea Blue! My MK4 Astra Estate is that colour - gorgeous.

Damn cool - perhaps my turbo will look just as cool, once it grows up!

Loving the interior upgrade in the beast!

Superb!!!!!

Looks like Photobucket have played a dirty trick with everyone that used their service to display pictures on forums by suddenly stopping them working and asking for $399 per year to upgrade the account to allow the photos to be displayed! Obviously I am not going to pay this so I am shifting them to Flickr, but it will take some time to update the thread accordingly :(

I read somewhere that photobucket won't allow image hosting - they want peeps to pay for it and it ain't cheap.

Oops - sorry, so you did!
That seems a really stupid move by Photobucket, they have just committed business suicide - no-one is going to pay $400.

I have all of the images uploaded and I have amended all of the links on the same thread on another forum. So I can do the same on here if someone could kindly give me the ability to amend my posts? :thumb

Cheers

The Cavalier Turbos were asked to attend The Fast Car Festival, but unfortunately only 3 were able to make it. Never the less we enjoyed it :)

Then we attended the VBOA weekend, which was great for saying it was the first year of the show at this venue :)

OK not really done a lot since the VBOA weekend, but Performance Vauxhall Magazine with the 25th anniversary of Cavalier Turbo is out and there are some good compliments about my car made.

Also thought it was about time to clean the car properly ready for Retro Rides Gathering this weekend :)

Tracking done on the Cav at the weekend. Good job really as it was miles out after doing the ball joints and track rod ends. Thanks to my mate Jonathan. Before anyone says the car is fully polly bushed. So there would be no benefit changing the arms (other than them looking shiney).

It has taken me quite a few nights to do it, but the thread now has pictures again :) After Photobucket kindly left me thread looking like this :evil:

ImagePhotobucket 3rd Party Hosting by m33rkb, on Flickr

I do not want to have to be doing that again in a hurry :cry:

Luckily I had all of the pictures saved to my PC, but I still had to find all of the relevant ones via file name, upload them to flickr, edit the posts and find the picture name, find the relevant picture on flickr and change on each picture... :shock:


Had to get some pictures for the agreed value on my insurance so I thought I would share them, as the light was brilliant on the day that I took them :)

Looking polished as ever - very nice
