Re: my gsi cavalier
Whatever happened to this car / project?
Re: my gsi cavalier
Think he fancied a change and went impreza
....with a brew and my favourite biscuits.
Re: my gsi cavalier
According to Direct.gov, it has been on SORN since September 2012.
Probably a rot box by now unless it has been stored somewhere out of the elements for nearly three years.

It was on his drive when I bought a bottom end of him, probably 3 years ago

Re: my gsi cavalier
It's a shame if it has been allowed to suffer due to disinterest
It looks like it was a really nice car...

Re: my gsi cavalier
Looks amazing!
Glad you have decided to keep her, you probably wouldn't have found a better one for a long time.
By the way, what happened to the headlamp wipers?

Re: my gsi cavalier
It was a new gsi shell. And it didnt have the wholes drilled out. So i didnt drill them out.
If u see a pic of the engine bay aswell. Iv also fitted a standard cavalier window washer bottle as the hole was not drilled out 4 the gsi bottle.
I havethe parts there incase i change my mind in the future

Re: my gsi cavalier
Don't blame you I'd never sell this car if I were you, not with the amount of work you've put in & you'd never find a better GSI anyway, if that's what you wanted to replace it with.dingdongbells wrote:Backed out and kept her. Cants find a good enf replacement
