OK, so just picked up a 1987 Rover 213s from a local old boy farmer and noticed that he's got a 1983 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6L Saloon in his field. His own car from brand new, 88k on clock. Not moved in 7 years and paint is v.poor with coating of surface rust (not rotten) and dash top is totally knacked from heat. Given me first dibs on it. What do you guys reckon its worth as is?

Scrap money, maybe £200 - 250 max. You'll easily spend that again getting it back on the road!
Check the sills and rear arches, if solid in these areas (particularly sills) then a good project to learn to paint etc. on I'd say (wouldn't be worth paying someone else though)

Check rear spring seats and the chassis rails if these are solid then it could be savable, rear inner arches, open fuel cap and see if theres any metal left holding the fuel filler pipe in place, ideally you need it up on hard standing or ramp then re check chassis rails also try and check the lower bulkhead near the footwells as water tends to hang in the sound deadening, mk2 cavs can and do rust pretty much everywhere (ive had 7 of them) they are always worth grabbing and stipping for bits if they are way beyond repair as some interior trim parts are becoming scarce and some of the metal work could be salvagable for another car, www.mk2cav.com is the owners club |
