Paul

Looks an interesting project, would be good to see more photos of the build and restoration

good to see its being saved and not scrapped, will be an interesting project to follow as you go along 

Welcome to the site Adam, it looks a very good purchase

my advise would be run it as it is at the moment then if you feel the need or want to modify it then at least you will know the areas you want to improve, be it performance, handling etc

cant go wrong with a cav with an XE, and agree on the LX interior, really nice seats

gives you another year to finish the white one then

The long term answer is one you have already come to, learning to weld, I have looked at a course down here to learn as always a handy skill to have especially with mk2 ownership 

Get it all done, drive it for a few months and see how you feel, if the enjoyment isn't there then you know it's the time to sell 

Good to know this cavalier is still around and in good condition still

What you got planned? Keep it standard or modify?

Welcome to the forum 

Good to see you are giving it some love

its like when you buy a car that hass never been raced or rallied and then find track day videos of it on youtube

Good base for a project, get some photos up when you get started

Should we launch a twitter account?  You may think that this is wrong place to raise it, but at shows it could help coordinate things on whats happening and when?  It could also bring in the appetite for immediate gratification that FB brings to bring people on to the stand and drum up some club support.....just a thought.

Would you be happy to run the clubs twitter account Greg?

Good shout starting this now John as we need to step things up for next year, some more modern flags, bunting etc were mentioned while at the show 

Looking good mate

Lock the thread then as obviously nobody else is going to reply to this thread

Eyes Paul.....use them.  Its has holes where they shouldn't be

It looks shot blasted (or painstakingly rust wheeled off)....and its come up well.  A few plates and all its good to go.

my iphone screen isnt big enough to see the details

well after being parked outside for some long that could be a long or could be a short list, my plan is get Paul to finish it and bang it in for an MOT and see what happens

thank god the floor still looks solid, if the floor had holes it would be back in the scrap yard by now!

*DISCLAIMER - there may well be holes i just haven't found them yet

is that a new floor or have you just blasted the paint off?
