hello and welcome to the site is the interior yellow/beige and what model is it

put a carb wanted ad in the parts wanted section of the forum i'm sure someone has a spare carb to get you back on the road ps nice looking cav cav you've got

if i remember right they are secured by press type studs you should be able to source some from somewhere

i'm not sure if they are gray or brown but they are only the door pockets no door cards i will take some photos and email them to you

ive got a pair of door pockets for a cdi if you want some

hi mate did you sell you cav or did you win the battle of the sexes and get to keep her

sell it to maat orm he will look after it and give it a good home

there is a slight difference between fitting an engine that except from a couple of small details looks identical to the original engine fitting as standard its a hugh change from original to convert a front wheel drive to rear wheel drive i am trying to keep my ascona as close to the original factory specification as i possably can im only fitting non original parts as i have to used whatever parts i can get with the limited funds i have available

i agree with matt she should kept as vauxhall made her

when i said "common" i mean't there is a higher number of L spec models left in existance compaired to the sr/sri/sri 130 models

if your going to do a r/w/d converstion on a mk2 cav please do it on a more common model like an "L" spec it would be a shame to chop up such a rare model like an sr

Please please please don't do that to her such a rare model deserves to be kept original the boss of the company i used to work for owns a mint 1961 Chevrolet corvette convertable and i was gobsmacked when he took an industrial size angle grinder to it just so he could fit an independent suspension rear axle to it It completely ruined what was a beautiful car sell it to matt orm he will cherish it and will give it a loving home

if your cav is only 2 inches off the ground after fitting the lowering kit it might just give the game away

hi mate and welcome to the site no its no joke all the names listed refer to the title given to this model by general motors as the J car here in england its known as a vauxhall cavalier mk2 where you live its known as an opel ascona c

i am sure you will be made very welcome to this site from one opel ascona owner to another

hi mate welcome to the site what sort of mk2 cav have you got any pictures ?

never mind mate im sure you will own another mk2 cav again sometime as the vauxhall slogan says once bitten forever smitten

if i were you i would tipex over the lad you brought it off details and put your own details in saves a lot of messing about ive done it before and got v5 back with my details on it ok ken

hi mate when you brought the car did you get the large blue part of the v5 or just the small green part if you have big bit just fill in new keeper section and send it to dvla with a note explaining last owner did.nt send it off when he borght it if you have just have green part go to local dvla office explaining last owner did,nt change it they should then take down your details and issue new v5 in your name get them to date stamp green part and keep it until new v5 arrives also do you have any kind of recipt from when you brought the car to prove you have legal title to car ps thanks for info on seh ken
