I say go for it. Consider all expenses at first, but at the end of the day she's a Cavalier and a GSi trim One of the wonders of this world

Just have a good look some always have more rust than others. Get a good one and that shouldnt be a problem.

[Cavalier342]

good to hear mate I recommend Waxoyl for most of it, make sure to get as much rusted loose bits off as possible, and for tight spots just use some filler and spray her back up

Well done! If you can get a body shop to underseal it when they do the repaint and arch all you have to do is get it cleaned up underneath.

Id be getting the bodyshop to fit them myself, its really easy to warp panels if you dont know what your doing.

Outer Arches are cheap £20 at most a side, full quarters arnt cheap about £200 or so.
