I might sound like a tool here, but whats an organic clutch? :/

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..

tidy looking bay there! did you have to do any corrective metal work?
Re: Troy's SRI 16V gsi replica W.I.P (rust wipeout time)
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.

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
Re: Troy's SRI 16V gsi replica W.I.P (rust wipeout time)
yes i believe it is.iangsi wrote:Is that the GSI boot panel I sold you on the back looks GOOD
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

Re: Troy's SRI 16V gsi replica W.I.P (rust wipeout time)
Congrats, really impressed with the work put into this one.
Re: Troy's SRI 16V gsi replica W.I.P (rust wipeout time)
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
