Have ordered all parts for the cav so can get it though the mot. Only £40 for the lot. So just got to get it back home so can start doing some of the work.

As far as welding goes not shore what to do yet. Gotta ask around see who I know who can weld and is willing to do the work cheap, if not I'll be paying garage to do it.

[jeffjeff450]

While at the garage today to get full brake down of job list and prices, there was a mobile car electrician he found my alarm problem and sorted it in ten minutes all for £20. . It was the alarm ecu its go a doggy connection. He said its been a while seens he's worked on a cavalier so hat to have abit of a think lol. Weldings come in at £70 plus £10 for material.

[jeffjeff450]

Got the cav back from the garage two days ago weldings been done just got to fit new parts now to pass mot. but after a quick was this afternoon the car now looks like this

[Mikebmth]

Nice work, remember seeing it on the bay of e...

Good to see one saved from the scrappers for a change, too many good cavs being broken down for bits nowadays.

[Lowrider Dave]

Good work, another V6 saved! I really like your alloys.

Good work, another V6 saved! I really like your alloys.

Up close they look dreadfully pitted and bubbling all over look good from a distance. I know there not stranded on my car normaly on calibra's. The spare is the right alloy lol and I have 5 spare center caps for the original alloys.

[jeffjeff450]

I know its not good news but mite be breaking the cav as have to get rid and can't seem to sell it whole Don't want to do this. So am really just seeing what intrest I have for parts? Everything's there and everything works.

[jeffjeff450]

Started stripping the car today and have uncovered a lot of rust on the rear rear beam nearly gone and both rails have gone at the end so am nosing thinking I have done the right thing in breaking it. Will get pictures in morning.

[jeffjeff450]

Started the strip Down and found this

[jeffjeff450]

And the found a matching bit

[jeffjeff450]

how far I got so far

[jeffjeff450]

Back end

[jeffjeff450]

This is why the seat wasn't sitting right the drivers floor pan is all over the place and full of rust.

[Lowrider Dave]

Blimey, that is a bit of rust! Did you save the hinged ashtray section, I'll have that as well!

[Lowrider Dave]

What's happening to the engine?

[jeffjeff450]

Have saved everything that I can. But have broken the drivers side floor trim bit that covers the wiring loom and sound deadering was drenched so hat to go in the bin. . Everything else is still ok. Would like to sell the engine whole but would split it if could sell most of it quickly.

[jeffjeff450]

right any more parts wanted before i waigh the rest in for scrap? still waiting for humbuckers list.

[humbucker]

it's on its way just finishing a quick job then i'll get it to you within the next hour or two, abs sensors are definite though.

looking at the pic of the floor above it looks like youre missing the drain hole plug which has meant that water has blown in and has been sitting in the channel under the floor soundproofing. i had a similar problem with turbo #2 when i ripped the flooring out, although wasn't quite as bad as yours. you can't win as the water gets sponged into the flooring if the scuttle/matrix die and sits there, or flicks up through the floor holes if the bung is missing!

time to get cutting and welding! haha!

[jeffjeff450]

haha abit late for that nothing left on back of car apart from fuel tank and bootnd if i had the right tools front of car would be fully striped by now aswell.
