3 weeks and 2,017miles later

Post by Adamw5433 »

Well i've had the Cavalier MOT'd and Taxed for (just over) 3 weeks now, and covered 2,017miles.

I think its about time for some (rather road salty) pics of the cavalier.
Below pics are all low res, highres shots can be found here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adam.wood1 ... ier_shots/


I'll let the pics describe themselves...

Me too Dave, but cash flow isn't great right now. So trims will have to do for now :(
Still waiting on the alloys, probally going to be Tuesday now :(
Custom back box in Feb as well no doubt, yummy.

I've been grabbing some interior parts off a scrapped Cav with a black interior.
So the grey pieces are going, bit by bit.
I'd do the dash as well, bit from expirance with my mates corsa, its a total ball ach.

(one was buckled, long story short... found 1 exactly the same sitting in a tyre shop, it was going to be wieghed in. But i bought it there and then and now have a complete set of white alloys again.... after resraying the new alloys)

I've also interchanged some of the grey interior trim for some black :)

Hello all.

I remmebered the camera, took the Cavalier for a wash.
She was stunning when i had finnished polishing her up (great some decent clean pics)
10mins of driving to where i take the photos, she was pitted again :mad:

Any ways the good news is, the white alloys have been put back onto the cavalier again.
So here is the fruit of my efforts:

I'll hopefully get some night shots, when she's been cleaned AGAIN!

As per usual, high res shots are available to view: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adam.wood1 ... 09/hi_res/

Slightly washed is better than not washed. It looks good.
