Hello everyone, I finally after 6 years of looking at it bought a Mk1 Vauxhall cavalier sports hatch that's been sat on a local garages forcourt for ages ;D so thought here was probably the best place for it it needs a bit of welding to the sill ends but is pretty good really, 2 owners and 52K from new. be better once the lowering stick has worked its magic mind, and the rover V8 thats planned for it is fitted i'll post some pics up when i manage to resize them Mike

hello mike! we're not usually this slack at welcoming people, only it was the retro cars show today so everyone's either on their way home or too sunburned to type the cavalier sounds nice (words i never thought i'd say in the same sentance.... cavalier and nice! but then it is a mk1) so get some pics up in the readers rides section and get busy with it welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the board, I've got a Haynes manual and some factory training manuals for the MK1 Cav, PM me if you're interested...

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.

cheers for the welcome folks springs should have arrived today, but they're going to be -60 all round as apparently the -80 don't exist managed to remove most of the chrome trim and source some new front wings, on the look out for some 6" front and 7 or 8" rear steels now Mike

Welcome Looking good mate. You gonna keep the Rostyle wheels when you slam it? That'll look cool after some slightly wider rims dude, depends what turns up though, the thought of some deep dish re-rimmed rostyles is quite appealing ;D
