Gteman Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 1.9 GL bought today. It's heartbreaking but I think this one is beyond sensible repair. Inner wings aren't to bad The chassis rails are all but none existint and as usual the pic's hide a multitude of sins she is a total rot box . I bought her in hope of bits for my manta coupe project which I posted up here about a year ago but has been mucked up with the site upgrade I hope to make a serious attempt at the manta now my mk2 astra project is finally finished after 3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CavCoupe Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Being an anorak, I belieive that all the first batch of Cavalier Coupe's were that colour. I have a December 75 one, the one on ebay which was December 75 was one, yours was and I have seen another. In about Feb 76 the other colours start to show up.

keith1200 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 WoW thats an auld one!! If I had the space! I would make you a offer for it! Mind it's needing alot of replacement panels and welding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gteman Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm not sure what to do with her, I may yet sell her on. I was hoping for some spares for my manta .... but that's not looking like much at the moment. The engine apparently runs sweet though I've still to here it.

keith1200 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Yeah I looks as tho it needs a fair bit of work It's a shame really as cav coupes are really head-turners. http://www.beeversautopanels.co.uk/ I've order Manta/Mk1 cav panels from this site before, they suppy full sills and replacement archs, cheaper then my local motor factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
