sumpcracker Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) i have just bought a rusty cav coupe. Its a custard yellow 1976 GL. Its quite bad, ive done a manta and ascona before and im not sure this is worth saving tbh. How many are left?

Jason b Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 hi, it was I who commented on retro rides - lovely cars, how badly corroded is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumpcracker Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Lol, what are the chances... Its pretty bad, rear inners are gone, boot to wheel well, sills, ect... Worst thing is that its all been patched in the past so hard to see whats what.. Need to strip it realy, carpets out ect ... Was worth a risk for £100 with no collection expenses i think. Its a feb 76 car, so very early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 There aren't many left, and sadly a lot of the ones that are seem to be in similar condition to yours! I've got one, still in daily use but looking seriously ratty. Whereabouts in the country are you? If you decide it's not worth doing I might be interested in buying it for parts for mine!

sumpcracker Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Milton keynes, its bloody far away from you for a £100 car! You got any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBricknall Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Milton keynes, its bloody far away from you for a £100 car! You got any pics? I'm in Milton Keynes and I know the car. If you are thinking of selling it I know someone who would take the car as a whole project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Milton keynes, its bloody far away from you for a £100 car! You got any pics? You're right, that's much too far away from me! I haven't got any pics here as I'm at my Dad's place at the moment, but I'll try and post some here in the next few days. Not like my car's worth looking at though!

Fermanta Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've got two cav saloons. One that was originaly a browny colour but now orange and one the same colour as that. Will post some pics tomorrow if I can find them. That colour can look surprisingly good! Just found some in my email: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
