ok well
long story il try to keep it short,
a local man had a gsi in 2001-2002 it was rotten
so rather than welding bits and pieces into it he heard of a local vauxhall dealers that had a few NEW cavalier shells
this GSI shell a few standard saloon shells and a 4x4 shell, so he bought the gsi she and started working on it,
he got as far as you see in the 1st pic, then due to a chance in his home life he had to sell so i bought it,
basically he had the whole engine rebuilt all new bits and pieces, brand new bilsten suspension and the car all primed and a lay on paint on the inside and the engine bay.

then i basically got the rest done,
i got the wheel well all stripped back to bare metal then treated and then got it sprayed with stone gaurd to give it a bit more protection
