I now have the following cabbys.

E249 EAN White 87 1.8i Cabriolet and D34 TPP Carmine Red 1.8i Cabriolet(Jury still out as to what I am going to do with this one?)

We need photos especially as someone has given you detailed instructions on how to post pics  ;D ;D :-*

Try to get some up this weekend ;D

you cant beat a cabby in the summer  ;D

I totally agree

Now got this running right ;D,Repaired air meter hose,new plugs and leads.

Now beginning the deep clean and will now get some pics up ;D

Just spent most of the day driving it with a big grin as it now drives superb :D

Check for any air leaks and clean out all the throttle body etc. for a starter.

Had a good look over the engine bay last night and the air filter hose for starters will need replacing and the fuel filter looks as if it hasnt been changed for ages as well as the coolant which is a nice shade of mud brown!!! :-[

I know the car has done roughly a thousand miles in 2 yrs,It is in really good condition and once I do a bit of TLC on it I will be on to a winner ;D

Hi Guys

Picked up new cabby on saturday and was running fine until sunday morning when it started running a bit rough!!!(missing) 

Ticks over ok when sitting idle,any thoughts(and yes will get some pictures up soon 8))

Yes cant wait to get back home,wont take much to make mint,only 3 places on body work that need attention ; ;

But in the mean time a good clean and polish inside and out will do at the mo and will be ready for the shows!!!

At some point will be stripping whats left of my old cabby (wont take to long,only engine,gearbox,bonnet,both front wings,doors and dashboard  left to strip)and i need  to have a conversation with my sprayer to tell him Im pulling the plug on this project.

Between january and june this year he ha only welded on one wheel arch and n/s sill!!! at this rate my cabby may have been ready for 2025!!! > 

Yes she has a red roof

Thanks guys cant wait to pick it up!!!Just waiting for the 1st of July so that I can tax it!!Hate giving the government money for nothing

I am now the new owner of E276 EAN (white cabby on ebay) and will be collecting her in the first week of July.

This car is in really good nick with no rot at all and would not take a lot of effort to bring back to mint condition.

As soon as I get her back home I will posting a few pics up and now I will be able to come to events with a MK2CAV ;D

Sadly though I have decided to throw in the towel on the red cabby as my sprayer has taken a year to bring her up to spec!!!! (Long story,Originally told 4weeks to complete!!! >) and I have to say the car is in peices and is still rotten >

But she will live on as spares keeping my white cabby on the road.

Hi Guys, Cheers for all the comments, will post pics of the interior soon! The car was first registered 11/04/1988, original number plate was E948 WEP. I bought it from a chap in Stoke on Trent and it does have 4 previous owners. The car is a manual and is just coming up to 70,000 miles, with previous mots to verify this. The car itself is solid and has been waxoiled in all the common rust points, (underneath, door hinges, strut tops under the bonnet etc). I was actually amazed by how solid the underneath was - next time its on the ramps i will take some pics.

The badges were stolen from where i live in the ghetto! however i have managed to source a Cavalier badge courtesy of Tahir on this site and just looking for a Vauxhall badge. I also managed to find some proper chrome aluminium CD badges from an Areg cavalier my dad used to own so will be replacing the current faded plastic ones on the wings!

I have seen the CD emblem that sits on the tailgate on ebay from time to time so give them a try.

Looks Like a late spec CDI from 87,No Cavvy had the snow plough from 87 onwards.

No! that was VW's and i suspect they pissed many people off in that era¬!

I know!!It was mainly VWs but in South East London I remember Kids were taking any car emblem as I recall,I also remember my PE teachers Mk2 Golf GTi lost its VW badge in the school car park.

A very nice looking car,what happened to the badges on the rear?Or were they stolen by the Beastie Boys back in the eighties!!! ;D

If the CDI is a solid base then it will be worth restoring.

hopefully the cabby may be ready for billing!!Sprayer will be taking photos during prep and spray.

oh,and thanks to stevemc for the shout and for getting me to join the club.
