Some steady progress - Very nice!

Your parts list is a bit familiar to mine, made me laugh!

Nice transformation so far.

... and I see a gsi & cosworth in the back

[RonanPCX]

Yes slowly but surely lol
The gsi is a rep I used for parts to far gone to fix
And the cossy is a full rep one of my other 4 projects lol

A lot of good work going on there.

Wow first post and it is a full blown restoration - excellent.
Plenty to sink your teeth into.

Good to see another Cav being brought back to rude health.

I had hundreds of pictures taken during my restoration. Amazing the transformations from 'before' to 'after'.

Very useful for evidence to potential insurers to get a better valuation for the car.
