Hopefully I get it back from the bodyshop in 2 weeks as promised, as I have got to re-assemble it too and the PVS countdown has started...

The paint work looked top in the pics before. I'm sure it will be beautiful after
....with a brew and my favourite biscuits.

Starting to look more like a car 7 litres of paint and 4 coats of lacquer later. This is going to be close...

I have also smoked the headlights and de-tango'd the rear lights while it has been away and not had a lot to do:

Re: Markb's 94 Polar Sea Blue Cavalier 4x4 Turbo WIP
Few more subtle bits done.
My Momo steering wheel had yellow Momo logos so I carefully removed the paint and re-did it in Polar Sea Blue lol:
IMG_4107 by m33rkb, on Flickr
IMG_4124 by m33rkb, on Flickr
IMG_4116 by m33rkb, on Flickr
Also got a brand new grill badge and because you can no longer get them from Vauxhall I have cut out a piece of stone chip shield to cover it perfectly (cannot be seen in the picture, but that is the point!) so that I can peel it off when it gets stone chipped and recover it, but keep it mint
IMG_4123 by m33rkb, on Flickr
Finally managed to get a drivers mirror glass with blind curved blind spot. Look at the old Vauxhall badge on the instructions lol:

Looks proper clean mate. I must admit, standard Cavaliers look perfect with black bumper strips but modified ones like yours look awesome with color-coded ones..... That tailpipe is huge also

BOOM! Awesome. It shows what time and effort can produce. Congratulations on a superb looking Cav - I didn't recognise it when Dan put a photo of it on FB! That paint looks amazing, you must be very chuffed with it!

Thanks I think the colour coding really works on the car Also it has got a 3" system so it needs a big tail pipe I think it looks awesome though.Cavalier342 wrote:Looks proper clean mate.

Is that dave955's old bonnet and modded turbo boot spoiler? Looks good mate, but then your cars always do.

Re: Markb's 94 Polar Sea Blue Cavalier 4x4 Turbo WIP
After a lot of messing and modifying I finally got the baby wheel to fit properly as well getting the horn button to fit flush and work
A lot better than the old wheel I think

Re: Markb's 94 Polar Sea Blue Cavalier 4x4 Turbo WIP
A few small attention to detail jobs done.
Firstly I went over to my custom exhaust man and had the rear pipe extended by roughly 1.5 / 2CM to bring the tail pipe out out of the bumper as it was sitting too far in
IMG_4313 by m33rkb, on Flickr
IMG_4214 by m33rkb, on Flickr
I also dropped my Momo steering wheel off at Classic Car Services to have the inside re-trimmed in perforated blue leather. Will hopefully get it back on Fri at Billing

Finally got round to fitting my splitter and I think it finishes the front end off
IMG_4381 by m33rkb, on Flickr
IMG_4379 by m33rkb, on Flickr
Also fitted new leather gaitors to match the interior

Along with Cavalier Turbo sill protectors

And finally Cavalier Turbo owner stickers
