Very nice looking clean car! Are you keeping it as an auto?

Only 9 times, I've had the green cab for about 16 years I think, long long before Vicki. And she knows if it came to it which would go first! >

Thought it was just me that did this! phew >

Very good ;D ;D ;D

And I thought it was just me that had the leaf collection! ;D

I meant in relation to the existing plastic door pocket. If I remove it I would be left with indentations and holes. If I left it I suspect it would look silly.

Cheers, photos would be great. Not sure how I would make them work with the existing door cards but maybe something will come to mind when I see then!

I agree, I look out of my front door and I think their breeding.......... ;D ;D ;D

The complete door cards in brown? Any pics? I could be very interested. ;D

Hi Looks very nice, very similar to mine ;D. Has the better interior with the wallet door pockets, I'm jealous >

Sounds like you had a good car there! Likewise all mine have been pretty reliable, its just the bodywork! ;D I have 2 cdi's, a 1.8 hatch 86 and a 2.0 saloon 87. I need to sell one but do not know which one as I like both!

Thought I'd update with a picture of my latest cav. Probably be recognised by a few of you! Nice looking car in pretty good condition. It makes me appreciate that the gold CDi I have up for sale is actually in excellent condition save for the wheel arches!

Sorry been busy Don't think they are in a very good condition though. 1 tyre stays up the other has hole in it and wall has perished!

I'm in erith in kent, just on the outskirts of london. I will take pictures of them if you wish and post them here.

It is a bit of a waste of what could be a nice car but the parts will be usefull. It has 2 of them. if you want them they will be available.

Hi My 4th convertible! Not sure it is anything to shout about. Just for spares obviously. Sorry about the poor picture but I don't think a good picture will make it look any better! Rob

Thanks If you ever fancy a change to a hatchback let me know.... I was going to take a look at the one identified in bristol but could not get there that weekend and someone else on this site I believe has bought it since. Oh well I shall wait for the next one to appear.

According to my ex and most of my friends, most definitely hell!! My daughter likes it though!

Unfortunately the cdi is not mint but it is clean! It has a little body work to do. But it does drive really nice. Debating whether to do anything like brakes suspension modding to it or whether to hold out the saloon I really want! I assume you mean the green convertible, I have four of them! The green is my favorite, I parked it up a number years ago down the side of the house after a mate hit a central reservation in northern spain. He only put to 2 grooves down the side but I parked it up and never got round to getting it sorted. I'm hoping next year will see it back on the road. The other convertibles are in various states of disrepair, although I am hoping to have the silver one (zxcurts formerly) on the road for the end of the summer. Another subject but does anyone have insurance companies they can recommend for insuring these cavaliers cheaply?

Yes it is a nice car, needs a little work but is lovely to drive. Still going to keep an eye out for a later plate saloon as, I dont know why, but I prefer them. Then sell this one on.

Pics of new toy Another 2 pics of my favorite toy Still on the look out for an 87 or 88 cd saloon but the hatchback will do till that is found!

Hi Just bought a gold c plate cd 1.8 cavalier hatchback. Has 1 owner since new. less than 93K. Full service history. All electrics on it working. Interior spotless! Exterior very clean but has had welding done in the past and will need some in the future. Has a strange place going rusty, the post by top hinge on the passengers side front door! I've never had one go rusty here before.

Hi again thanks for the help. Below are the pics of my current mk2's. Green one is the one I have had the longest.Has been resprayed, lowered, different wheels and exhaust. Blue bought a few years ago but has now been smashed up so will just be for spares. The red one is available if any one wants it. It has no engine and gearbox, the body is rotten and has a knock from the rear. Generally the outside is not pretty. The interior was very clean when it was parked up about 3 years ago. It is the L model. I am interested in zxcurts convertible if anyone knows how to get in touch with him as he has not responded to my response to his post. Thanks Rob

Hi again I was going to put a couple of pics of my cars up on this post but can't work out how to do it! Can anyone give me a brief lesson in how to do this? thanks Rob

Hi New to this forum. Have been a fan of this car for a long time, first one I owed would have been a GLSI around 1990. Followed by a 1.6L around 1992 that I tried to kill myself in! (accident honest). Then in 1993 I bought my 1st convertible (that I had wanted since seeing one at the earls court motor show as a kid). I still have this car and intend to fit a V6 to it. This project has so far taken 6years and hasn't started yet, just took the car of the road!. I then bought another convertible of ebay around 3 years ago but this turned out to be rotten and wasn't worth putting back on the road then was hit and had the back caved in in my front garden! I have responded to zxcurt re his convertible as I would be interested but have yet to receive a response, heres hoping..... Once I have a working MK11 again I hope to join you and attend a show or two so look forward to those times maybe. Rob
