Hello I'm the best part of the way through a restoration after getting hold of a 1987 130 hatchback in White that had been sat in a garage for twenty odd years and there are a few parts I am having trouble locating. First off the decals for the doors and secondly the rear quarter lock panel vent. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, I live in the Dordogne in SW france and bought an LHD Opel Ascona GT 130 in September '12. I use the car regularly as it was MOT'd when I bought it - 2 years mot in france. It has had it's problems. Fuel pump relay, and just this last week lumpy idling and hesitation under acceleration. It has just had new bosch ventilated discs, pads and a set of softer compound tyres. The michelin energy savers I bought it with were useless. This has changed the car. I love it and despite my recent frustrations will continue to learn through the haynes on how to maintain and cherish this car. It's a two owner car, I'm the 3rd. Has 174,000kms on it. Original bill of sale and loads…

Hi all, I am a new member how has just registered here. I have just bought a Cavalier mk2 which I intend to have as my eveyday car. My first experience of these cars goes back to when I was a kid, my uncle Bill (not really an uncle but back then kids called most grown up friends of their parents uncle or aunt lol). He had an A reg blue one I remeber it being keptin what I believe was the old dairy room on his farm. My dad was promised it when he got his new car, but unfortunately it was written off just 6 weeks before he was due to get it .

Hi everyone, I am looking to restore 3 Calibres in various states of repair. I've had 2 for a number of years and just bought another which is running. I have finally the budget and a bit of time to do this so decided to call upon my fellow enthusiasts to make this happen with the intention of doing it properly. I need a good panel beater who knows there cavs to start of with plus need to know who supplies the best red colour match paint as well as where I can get the stripes redone properly. I want to do one to original spec and one to be heavily modded in terms of engine and suspension but all will look as they should. The other one will be a bit of both and am happy …

My is name by Alexander. I'm from Russia. I'm the owner of Opel Ascona C from July 2012 year. The car 1986 release. Was equipped with a carburetor engine 1.6 (16N), 236 mm front brakes and rear with drum. When this engine 1.6 crashed, I bought a donor with the 1.8 engine with a carburetor. Earlier this year, the car has been lowered by 50 mm - I did not like and I got stock spring. And also installed new Kayaba dampers. A little later I bought a brakes from Vectra A and engine c20ne from Astra F. But I removed the injector and installed the carburetor. Because I did not understand with the injector. pic

Hello everybody from Romania, I am Dan and this is my 1988 Opel Ascona C. The engine is a 1.8S E18NV, completely rebuilt in 2011 with polished ports and valve seats and few other minor mods. The gearbox is a standard F16CR with bigger clutch plate and disk. The car was lowerd with Eibach springs, completed with a classic set of 15"Zender Sport rims fitted with 195/50/15 Dunlop SP Sport Fastresponse. The car is rust free after rebuilding the quarter and back pannels this summer. It is a project far from done, hope you like it. Thanks!

Hello there folks... What's not to like about the Mk2 Cavalier(?), it's a great car! I had a C-reg (or maybe D-reg) base model hatch many moons ago that I bought for £40...! It lasted a week before over zealous jet-washing made light work of some of it's more 'crumbly' parts!!! It was a great car up until that point though... One day I'll have another, one day...

Evening, Just a general enquiry, How much would it be to replace (if written off) a 1988 CDi Saloon? Either a shell only or one in need of restoration. Many thanks!
