bought this wee gem in october,ebay impulse buy!shes a 1980 mk1 cavalier 1600gl in jamaca yellow.has covered 49k miles from brand new,been ziebarted,has every mot and tax disc from spanking new!
when i got her she was faded,had a peco big bore two exhaust,needed a new wing,and a new boot lid,and generaly scabby spots fixed.
so i fitted the new wing and boot lid,some lower rear arches,done alot of repair work(dents etc)full respray in her own colour.has a custom exhaust made,so that it looks standard.also refurbed the wheels to black and silver.
comments and opinions always welcome

Very nice purchase mate, was this original front in UK? Looks a bit exotic to me

its tiny sitting next to the modern day family saloon.
road tax in 1980 when it was brand new was £50 for a year!!!
