My god I loved my Cav that's maybe why I like the B5 Passat they do look similar,
Good work man and yes Calibra trim does fit but only the 2wd as the 4x4 has a different floor pan..

Looks a good tidy cav that.
I love them .........and have a few of them myself.
Probably one of the best vauxhalls ever made..............in an all rounder kind of category.
I'm rebuilding my turbo 4x4 at the minute.
Good cars

Get Cavalier Turbo/Diplomat seats in there, they look much better. The Calibra ones aren't Recaro's and I found were too low.

great cars these run out Cavaliers - don't suffer from the rot problems the others do for a start.
That looks like a goodun you have there, and I like the GSi kit, always have. Are you gonna put the door strips and missing bits of sideskirt on?
I really must do something with my Mk3 Cav!
Ive got a Astra GSi leather interor that will fit the car here at the moment I might part with. Its a high quality re-trim job actually but its a few years old now. Its got grey leather in the middle and is embroided with the GSi logo. For door cards all you need to do is find some Diplomat/Turbo leather ones - shouldnt be hard. PM me if you want pics!

Nice gsi rep there! I had a black gsi2000 a few years ago but was rotten as hell sills gone and the rear chassis rails were well on their way. Apart from that i loved it. Keep up the good work!

Nice motor you have there mate..
Only one thing i would make some checks into.. the badge on the grill
As my son changed his badges from vauxhall to opel and got pulled
By the plod asking why it was registerd as vauxhall and badged as an opel..
He was made to change them back.. the sweeney round our area are curse word hot on motorists.

Never been a fan of Vauxhall/Opel but Cavalier is one of couple I always liked. Had Vectra A 10 years back and it was lovely. Guy I sold it to was complaining that after 3 years of owning he had to change handbrake cable. And that was it apart from usual service. Good cars these.
Yours look nice...and that engine.
