Hello everyone, I've just joined as I have just bought one of these fine steeds for the second time in my life! I'm the proud new owner of a 1984 Cavalier 1.6L Saloon originally in Silver Green Metallic, I say originally because some nutter has brush painted it some horrid insipid shade of a snottery kind of green, but it bears the paint code for that colour and it is everywhere on the engine bay and boot area, but never mind as I intend to respray it later in the year back to it's original colour, it is however remarkably rust free with just a couple of small holes at the bottom of the rear inner arches, the rest of it appears to be solid and has done what would appear to be a genuine 30000 miles, it feels inkeeping with this mileage anyway, the interior however has suffered a lot of sun damage, cracked dash, seats with powdery foam inside them and lots of fading, even the rear view mirror is extremely brittle and wouldn't take much handling to crumble to dust in your hands. I don't mind saying the car is a bit of a project/rolling restoration, but I know I've got the skills to put it back together and make it a really nice car again. I've always loved MK2 Cavaliers, it goes back to when they were new, my dad had a MK1 Astra as a company car around 1985, and would always get this MK2 Cavalier GL as a loan car, I used to love it when he got this car, it was nicer than the Astra! I didn't get one of my own though until 2001 when I bought a last of the line 1988 2.0 SRi in Steel Grey, another car I adored, it was fast, comfy Recaro seats but sadly the battle against the onset of rust was a losing one and I sold it, I couldn't bear to scrap it! So I just got the notion again to have another and so here I'am! I own a few other classics as well so I'm no stranger to other forums relating to them, I've just finished respraying and partially restoring (didn't need much!) my 1973 Morris Marina Coupe and it looks marvellous now!
