Well the car is back from the body shop so the unwrapping and rebuild starts tomorrow,Well hopefully!! as there is the day job to deal with lol.

I did unwrap the bumpers though!! Couldn't resist even though as you can see it was dark and i think i should have wiped the camera as you can see.

[Gaz]

should look really good. The quality of the prep looks great will be good to see it built up.

You have been busy and the Cav looking very good. I cant wait till I get to the stage you are at, i.e. putting it all back together.

[Squig]

Been reserving judgement on this because some of the mods weren't too my tastes (but as you said...) still not sure about some of the choices (skirts, spoiler and vents on the side of the front bumper). I love the front splitter choice and may poach that idea , I take my hat off the the work involved in the rear bumper and I have to admit I'm waiting with baited breath to see the outcome...

[Colorado]

Looking better and better keep us updated.

[C4V V6]

Not updated for a while as not made that much progress and most that has been made is err.....lets say a surprise may even wait till pvs lol.
Anyway thought i best put a update up as it goes back to the bodyshop this weekend to sort out a few bits.

First up is the upper boot spoiler





Front bumper





Lights and grill



Ignore my old man in the pic lol



ALLOYS
Not lowered the car yet as cant get it out of the yard due to pot holes if lowered so suspension and breaks come after the trip to the bodyshop, o and alloys not staying on while going to paint, not about to make that mistake!

[Gaz]

is that one of the ebay roof tip spoilers? i had one on the vectra but it was a bit more compact than that one, id love another.

Are you going to lower it?

[FoxyCav]

i love that . cant ignore your old man he's helping you

its coming along really well now mate.

Ye lowering it mate only 35mm tho as front already low due to the splitter. Shouldnt matter to much tho as all car is at same height all way from front bumper across skirt to back so gives the illusion that its lower, Spoiler is off my old cav and is a ultra upper boot spoiler dont no if they still make them!

[C4V V6]

Been busy uprating suspension and brakes

BEFORE!!

SPRINGS!!

HALFWAY THROUGH!!



And well here it is in full(well still few little details to sort but nothin ye would notice)

[RatCav]

Well done fella. Some good work gone into that, and a really tidy job done in the end.

[Colorado]

Yeah looks a lot better

[humbucker]

i've been away from the forum for a little while but was really pleased to see the progress you've made with this (saw it rubbed back in the bodyshop last time i was on here). top marks for your efforts.

[C4V V6]

Well been ducking between the rain and got a bit more done well tried!!

LETS START WITH THE DOOR CARDS



Decided that the wood trim nice as it is just didn't go with the rest of the styling



SPEAKERS IN



AND DOOR CARD BACK ON



As Ive now acknowledged that Ive got no chance of finishing the boot i decided that it was better to just put in the back seat and have boot standard rather than a half finished mess at PVS

SO HERE IT IS






Starting to look like a car again hey

[humbucker]

looks fab. who re-upholstered the seats and door cards?

[C4V V6]

Had the seats done by a company who did the purple cavs seats only last time i used them they were a 1man show working from home and now he's some what bigger with a contract with a company who deals with all the pro footballers cars. BUT!! and it is a big but were as because of this the craftsmanship and quality has improved, being a poor working class lad wanting a one off job and not really getting a trim every other week like the footballers do, i was treated like a ****.They had the seats 7month in total 6month with nothing happening just excuse after excuse then once they did something it took just 3days 2 complete. so as you can guess because of this i wont be recommending them 2 anyone even tho the quality speaks for its self
