    If this car goes back to standard form it will be very nice. Love these cars, have had absolutely loads of them!

    I thought 100times before buying, for the body work I need new bootlid as this ones rusty and had holes for a spoiler, new bonnet, new wheel arches, the gsi back panel and the bumper plastics have been colour coded which need to be replaced, then a respray in black

    Re: Cavalier GSI Project

    It had holes driiled as someone had a spoiler on it, it was rusted from the bootlock and also the black panel had been colour coded, I'm also changing the front and back bumpers due to the colour coding I want the black plastics to show
