Few new interior bits including a smooth gloss back mdf piece to cover the boot release motor instead of the one with the bulge in it.
Getting there slowly

Cheers for the comments.
Got some final under bonnet pictures before the engine bay is stripped of the 1.2 over the winter and sprayed black.
Jamsport will have the task of rebuilding my 1.6 8v and installing it which im looking forward to

Also some pictures of my bonnet with the underside sprayed black

Done a few bits here and there.
Fitted my new fk springs and spring seats.
Also sorted the underside out with abit of underseal in places ready for the winter months.

One Saturday morning i decided to do my cavalier 'winter wheels' matt black.


Got them on the car and was suprisingly very happy with how cool they looked,thinking about 'maybe' selling my speedlines now to raise money for my engine swap.
Ill just keep my euro style wheels for shows etc...





All i can say is im looking forward to getting my freshly rebuilt engine fitted by Jamsport,which should be going in around Christmas time

Danny: Just abit of elbo grease with some polish on the body coloured areas in the bay. I wet flatted the engine top with some fine sandpaper and polished it up with Autosole about 3 years ago.I just keep it polished up every few months or so.

A front strut brace on a 1.2!

Car looks amazing anyway

FFS Mark, Every time you top this thread and see the pics of the car I almost feel my bank balance cringe

I just want to spend money when I see it. Love the interior and Under the Bonnet! Any news of when the engine work is going to start? It will be amazing!!
