Health to enjoy!

Love it. Had a couple of sri’s back in the day but never the holy grail of a red top gsi.

 

[Alexmck]

Yeah was only car i ever regret selling is the sri,
Not very many genuine gsi cavaliers about now

Im not bothered about milage anyway its near 30 year old, it was off road 8 years and came from south, its a mates and i done most work to it to get it to the standard it is, he mentioned selling it and i jumped lol
Hard got genuine whats milage lol

 

[m00k]

Happy days nice to see one that’s not a td too

Def getting scarce and getting hard to source certain bits?

What’s the plans for it?

I’ve a satin red 93 turbo 4x4 too

 

[AMG]

Nice to see a GSi surviving, although I think if it were mine, I would raise it up a little if running the standard wheels, should only be that height if you have the 17" Speedline Mistrals, or these Detroits:

Cavalier doesn't suit Alessios if you ask me!

 

[Gaz]

Always loved GSi's, rare sight these days. Hard to beat these wheels imo

 

[m00k]

Turbos are great but hassle of changing over to a 5 stud setup

Would love a set of mistrals for my own if I could find a set

 

[Alexmck]

Plans are speedlines as in one of the pictures. Other than that just keep it for odd weekend, altho saying that il likely drive it as much as my daily x5

 

[Alexmck]

The fella spent fortune on it and i done all the work bar bodywork,
New clutch timing belt water pump alternator and 4 window regulators and floor carpet,
Like a child at christmas waiting to get it and will be out for easter

Mileage uncertainty wouldn't put me off, most have been toyed about with and just like retro Fords at 30 years of age they are a bit like Trigger's broom. You're buying with your eyes at that money so ignore the critic's opinions.

Nice colour, health to burble around town. Is this the one from Limavady that a girl sometimes drives or is that MOK ?

Totally agree with you there. A car like that you just buy what is in front of you at the time. I'd much prefer a solid mechanically sound car with no or an uncertain history, than one with every receipt etc and needing a brush and shovel to take it home with you.

 

[Woodcutter]

Very cool. A rare sight these days for sure.

I'd jack it up a bit personally, but either way it's a nice looking old yoke.

[southsky sunrise]

Lovely. Iv had a couple and mileage wouldn’t be an issue to me either. Hte

 

[southsky sunrise]

would love to get my hands on them speedlines

4x100?

 

[richie_mck]

Great project, I’d love one myself but the way that’s sitting does nothing for it.

Up a bit on the standard wheels or turbos for me.

I’d love a spectral blue one

 

[m00k]

Friend owns a stunning spectral blue turbo... absolutely immaculate inside and out won best standard car at vboa show last summer
