No matter what I do, it's still a Cavalier.

Are you fucking kidding me...


ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?

Jeff, just stop. This is an unhealthy amount of work for a Cavalier.



Fuck game over.

I also got a PM the other day stating "you should buy my RHD clip".....


So, I did.



Shit just got out of hand.



Again.

You have got to be kidding me :0 I've been wanting to do a RHD conversion but was never crazy enough to do it!

You'll be my hero for doing it, kudos to you

[aLaFleur]

<- me

carry on.

Looks like a cage is going to be in the near future....

You are correct, Andy.

Loving all of the progress. I was wondering, where did you buy your moroso dzus fastener's and brackets and do you have any more pictures of the inner mount that it screws into?

Haven't worked on the car in a few days, dealt with some issues on the S10 I've been putting off for a while.

Not a very exciting update, but I spent most of the night pulling what interior was left out, and began also removing the rest of the wiring from the car.

After staring at the firewall from the inside, I gained a couple new ideas and improved on a few previous ones. I'm not going to elaborate on anything just yet, it might be letting certain cats out of bags that they shouldn't be let out of yet.

Anyways, here's what I left it looking like tonight.





I'll finish tearing the rest of the body harness out tomorrow as well as any remaining interior.

Here we go again.

Just did.. gotta support the locals .

Great work though man. Cavalier or not, the amount of work, effort and your own vision in this car, is gangster.

I also wish i had the work space you had, for my car ... lol.

Thank you, sir. Truthfully, I wish the shop was about 8 times the size that it is. I've got a couple other projects I'd love to be tackling at the same time.

What color are planing on doing the engine bay?

Read through the whole thread now, I'm very impressed I liked how it came out with the Corvette wheels, but the new wheels are more awesome I also noticed your gearbox is a F23, so that reminds me that the Cavalier is very much alike as the european Opel Vectra/Signum platform But it's cool Keep up the good work

Thank you, man. I know this drivetrain is used all over the world in multiple platforms. It's a pretty tough little engine/tranny combo. I threw 15psi at this engine for a couple years now and it's never let me down yet.

Man, that's a nice car! Never heard of it though! Just noticed but, as Modlendingen says above about it using Vectra platform, original Vectras in the UK were called Cavaliers...coincidence? Known in Europe as the Vectra A.... Anyway, nice looking car! You're doing great work on it, you got skills!!

Thank you, sir!

Went to the shop late last night with some motivation and intent on starting and finishing part two of my engine mount re-design. I almost immediately fucked it up, but all was not lost. I decided it was a good chance to make it work and just to verify that this was going to work and look decently.

I'm happy to say that it will. I preach constantly about measuring three-thousand times and cutting once, but I got jumpy last night and now I get to start over. Regardless, the few hours I spent last night were not a total waste.

Started with this:





Which turned into this (you can see that I cut the vertical height too short, poop):





And mocked up in the bay:







I'm very happy with how it turned out, it pleases me to see that it is very tucked in to the engine.

I'll get it redone this week. We're getting closer! Soon enough I'll be able to build a new downpipe and charge pipes, and start doing the fun stuff again.
