Satin red 1.2 8v.
I had another project thread on here but it was all muddled up and the stuff I had previously done to it has all been removed or improved on so thought I'd start another
This is how it started..
Then I had my rear arches, and rear bumper done at the body shop.
Rev counter clocks.
New door and wing as mine had rust and huge dents.. Also tigra wheels and coilovers fitted at this point.
Side view
All the underside has been under sealed now.. Springs and rear shocks are next to be cleaned up.
Depos.
Front bumper and front arches colour coded by the body shop.. Also badge less grille too.
Pressed plate on the fron with Velcro so nice and clean finish..
Back plate is going on after the boots been smoothed.. Just keeping the plate recess.
New wheels.. Cavalier expression being painted with silver lip and body coloured centers.
Side view on the drive
Sits high at the back definitely going lower when I have my other wheels on!
Still more to add yet

Car looks awesome mate, you have done a top job
Dont thiink the wheels will suit it, look to old school imo

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Satin red 1.2 8v.
Second part...
I now have a full black interior bar the dashboard but I'm not changing that.. Here's the vectra handles:) I have an electric window kit to go in but that's not going in yet.
Smoked astra repeaters
Found a dash mat in the scrappy
New fan and radiator
New battery tray
Painted a few expressions
The car has a full sport interior and also a gsi wheel now
I trail fitted my expressions I've still got 3 more to do but I think they should look great
I did this bad photoshop of how I'm having my boot too
I've done some engine bay tidying on my 1.2 and also some paint splattering I know most people wouldn't like it but I thought I'd have a go and I like it tbh.

Also did some loom hiding
Fitted some wind deflectors [/URL]
Still got loads more to do to the car.. Wing mirrors and handles painted along with the spoiler painted and boot smoothed.
I'll also get the expressions on and lower the car a lot more!

Re: Satin red 1.2 8v.
Finally finished painting 4 cav wheels after having them since last march lol, also picked myself up a set of 110mm springs to go on the back, I'll have these on by the weekend!
Should hopefully have the rest done at the end of April and have it insured and on the road!
