Newby saying hello

[rob 18]

Hi all finally got myself a Mk 2 cavalier its not standard it has the calibre bodykit  it needs some love and attention but still looks the part 

[Paul]

Hello and welcome, interesting project you have there, be good to see some more photos of it 

[Blitz]

What’s the plan for it? 

[rob 18]

Hi well I hope to use it everyday once I've done a bit of welding on rear chassis and fixed the fuel leak needs a real good going over .It is testes till next year but I'd rather sort it out first before using it .Need some bits for it that are missing ie interior light and a rear parcel shelf I guess its going to be a long project but I'll get there 

[Paul]

How much rust is on it?

[GreyDJ2]

Could have the parcel shelf. Where are you?

[rob 18]

Paul the rust is on the rear chassis and front screen pillars at the very bottom and various bubbles here and there .Greydj2

I'm in Leeds west Yorkshire 

[GreyDJ2]

I'll get the camera out in the morning,

[rob 18]

OK cheers 

[andy]

As Paul says interesting project. Hopefully the chassis rust isn't on the rear legs!

What's the plans for it style-wise?

[rob 18]

Style wise keep it as it is and the rear chassis has already been done near the rear springs it needs both box sections welding right on the end doesn't look too bad apart from that

Hello Rob, welcome to the site.  Is it a 1.3?  I only ask as I remember seeing a red one fully kitted up on ebay over the years.

[rob 18]

Hi thanks for the welcome  no its a 1800 lxi .

[Greg]

I see, not the one I have seen then.  You have one of the rarest models (LX / LXi) and the best ;¬)

[rob 18]

Cheers Greg slowly repairing and replacing things on it 

[Greg]

Nice......I am a massive LX fan....if you hadn't guessed already

Maybe.....was a while ago, it was red with a full kit on it.  Maybe it had more kit than this one.
