Ken4165 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi, is your Cavalier still for sale? I did look at it when it was on ebay a while back. My first car was a 1977 cavalier 1900 GL, sapphire blue met. with black vinyl roof. Could be mid life crisis, but can't stop looking at picks of the cavvy, I will have to try and persuade the other half that we need another motor! Regards, Ken.

stradacab Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I converted my Manta to 5 speed and removed a perfect box. Advertised it here for 12 months free to collector them dumped it. Broke my heart binnig good spares but needed the room. That doen't help you thoughI'm afraid. Try a wanted ad here, bet someone might have one.
