Re: The Colorado Story
Looking good . Are you going to cut holes in your bumper for the fog lights or change the bumper for one with the holes all ready in it?

Re: The Colorado Story
Looking good, did you lower it? I can't remember reading so.
Re: The Colorado Story
My bodyshop up the road are going to do the holes for me. And i will do the rest as they have the better tools. It has been lowered but not too much i got one of those spring and shock packages from online autosport the mega gas package budget priced but it made so much difference. Glad you like it.Its getting a bit of a collection of bits now. Sri sideskirts, Sri foglights, prefacelift sri boot spoiler, now Gsi alloys.!

Re: The Colorado Story
That is a beautiful cav. Would love to get mine looking like that. Shows you've worked hard on it. Nice one.
Re: The Colorado Story
Thanks. It is a lot of hard work but its nice when people appreciate that. It does get polished a lot..
Re: The Colorado Story
It does look really nice. Very mint!

Re: The Colorado Story
great to see the cavalier featured in the total vaux-hall of fame this month! shame youre getting rid of it. and you've already sold the turbo... so are you leaving cav ownership altogether?!
Re: The Colorado Story
Never saw the picture of it. But for the moment the Cavalier is safe i have managed to sort the finances side of things without having to sell it. But it will remain in the garage for the forseeable future. It has not been a good year financially.

keep it secret... keep it safe....
and I'm glad to hear this mate... I may have had to redesign your sig

Re: The Colorado Story
Thanks i would have hated to sell her after 10 years together. Am just dissapointed it will not be on the road this year. I am just pottering about cleaning things up on it. At least its under cover now and wont deteriorate.

Re: The Colorado Story
After a break in use the Colorado has been bought back into use once more. It has had a few running problems which have cleared up following a new coolant temperature sensor and a new thermostat. The interior was replaced with a prefacelift sri interior but that will be going soon as the door cards are splitting. Also with my knee problems I am having trouble getting in and out over the bolsters.

Re: The Colorado Story
Nice when it's a simple fix like that.
Sorry to hear about your knee, hope it's not too serious.
