More excellent progress as usuall..

looking forward to seeing your engine rework..

Looking nice and white, especially with all the bulk-head insulation material removed..

i had to do a little. it was more surface rust which i sand blasted clean.

the biggest job was repairing the strut through to A pillar

Thanks for all the kind remarks guys

my engine as it is at the moment

looks great. chrome oil filler/dipstick is a nice touch.

this week i got some second hand 18 inch bk 299 alloys. there simular to the wheels on the 92' btcc cavalier which is the look im trying to achieve.

here is a pic of one of the wheels i have refurbished

Those gold alloys look just like the alloys on my mate's TT. I think he said they were BK too.

Looks ace mate, do like those rims too. I used to dream of doing something similar with a Belmont.

Is that the GSI boot panel I sold you on the back looks GOOD

yes i believe it is.

i cant believe i have done it. im very proud, long live the cavalier

still to do list

replace rev counter
paint sills and inner wings
clean boot remove surface rust and repaint.
definately gonna fit throttle bodies and do head work to increase the power output.
190 - 200bhp would be adequate for me
gonna build a megasquirt ms2 v3 to control engine. gonna fit all the parts into a stripped motronic ecu and wire it so standard loom and plug can be used

That looks amazing - impressive job!

Post by **Robsey** » Tue Jun 14, 2011 11:46 pm

Brilliant job as usual Troy.

Looks fantastic, and I can understand how proud you are...

Cannot think of suitable words to provide an adequate post reply..

Post by **Envoy CDX** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 1:10 am

Congrats, really impressed with the work put into this one.

Like I said in my own WIP,

After meeting Troy today, and his trusty steed in the metal,
I can honestly say that the photos just do not do the work any justice.

Really handsome car - especially when adorning the space next to mine on our car park..

Also - after referring to the Halfords Owners Manual, - my strut tops are the correct way, up.. I will show you when you pop back round again at the weekend
