Deeks GSi 2000

[Deeksin]

My aim is to keep it as standard and clean as possible so aint to much to do as its pretty mint only 86k on the clock everything works just certain bits need freshend up!

First day i picked it up from my mate who is the best person to buy a car from!



home



he put a new magnex system on it




Some beed shots of how clean it is

[Deeksin]

Gave the engine we clean up but the covers need painting!



Changed the bulb so the light now works


won a brand new set of astra flaps off ebay for 4.60



Number plates off still waiting on privite plate swaping more bloody hassle than its worth

[Deeksin]

Update: mud flaps are on pic to follow got a new back plinth from stevie as the old one had a bad mark on it

Old plinth mark is on the right above vauxhall



New one


Went to replace it and found the usual bits where they go only bit of rust i have found not bad for a 20 year old slag



Thought might as well sort it



rubbed down


primer started

[Deeksin]

Also thought i would freshing up the window wipers as they where starting to fade

[Deeksin]

Its getting there poor quality due to ipod



could use another coat wee bit lighter which i will do but its totally hiden behind plinth



The wipers done came up braw


Its now sitting like this covers came off for my mate to spray same colour





Thats it so far going to stop using my ipod for pics quality is crap!

lovely example, good shout with the astra mk4 mudflaps , first thing i put on mine.

Good to see a std example , dont think id be able to resist the urge to lower it myself though!

[Deeksin]

Cheers for the good comments makes me appretiate it even more

Yeah scott I would normally lower it but iv only drove it twice and it drive brilliant you'd never think it's 20 year old and see the heads it turns probs due to disbelief there's a cavalier still going think standard looks is what made me love the car so that it is

[scotty GSI]

Dont blame you bud, cant mind the last time i seen a GSI let alone a standard one.

You should bring it to Total Vauxhall day at crail. Im frantically tidying up mine for it as we speak.

Whole troop of folk of migweb going, top notch banter and a night out in Edinburgh afterwards to boot, lol

Cheers mate thought you and your bro would like it lol

Will be updating at weekend got lots more goodies just need to fit them

[Deeksin]

Update:

some new Goodies!

First thanks to Mr Reid for the new side light


Ridiculously priced GM gasket!


Nice freshly painted timing belt cover and rocker cover timing belt cover is a bastard to get off and on Grrrh




New Fog lamps bought from scott


Which will replace these!


First up was to get the head and timing belt cover back on rocker is braw easy job timing cover is a bit fiddly

Heres the cold gasket was like plastic came off in bits no wonder it was leaking


New one which fitted perfect so it should!


About an hour later and some help from my dad job done much easyer to get someone to push timing cover down at the top to get that bottom bolt to line up.



Still need to get a new heat shield

[Deeksin]

Next job was to replace cracked indicator side light which dave kindly gave me

the crack is above the vauxhall badge


old one next to new may 1991 old one is stamped


New one in nice easy job





couple of pics with the mudflaps on





next was number plates seen as they have been changed over. fired her up for the first time in weeks dragged it out the garage
