Bought this at the end of last year with the idea of dropping a B204 SAAB turbo lump in it. However the mrs has decided that she wants to be a part of my next project, which is a VW Camper, so the Chevette has to go.
Its an ex show / feature car and is known on this forum (see here :- http://retrorides.pr...ay&thread=64086 )
and was sold for around £2000 in 2009.
There is also a build thread here : - http://racer86.com/c...oject-chevette/ of everything the previous owner did to it.
Heres its advert from being sold previously :- http://www.carandcla....uk/car/C103003
I STRONGLY reccomend you read both of these sites of you are interested as this car has genuinely had alot of work done to it.

Its no longer in as good condition, hence the price. However it would be REALLY easy to get it back there. Its had a bump on the NSF corner, it has knocked the wing and bent the front valance. I believe the front wing is repairable. The windscreen is also cracked (EDIT/NOTE, this is not as a result of the bump it has had, it was simply an incident involving a football) The paint work is still spot on everywhere else, few little carpark dinks. The car starts and drives really well, I drove it back from London to Leicestershire (around 100miles) quite happily and it did really well on fuel. The tappets are a bit noisy but they're simple to adjust on these and will more than likely do them during this week. There doesnt appear to be any rot on the car, as it has been very well maintained in the past and appears to have been waxoyled from head to toe.
The interior could do with a clean. The drivers carpet is torn.
It has no tax or MOT (EDIT! HAVE FOUND AN MOT CERTIFICATE IN THE CAR, WHICH IS VALID UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2012), though I 100% genuinely believe that if it were to go for an MOT the only things it would fail on would be the windscreen and the fact the NSF indicator unit is missing.
Any questions, just ask. I'm after £750o.n.o for it. I'm not open to any p/x unless its VW Camper related.
Mobile is 07920772486
Home phone is 01530 260254
Text me during the day (8-6) as I don't get signal at work and ring me after 6 on the home phone.
If anymore pictures are wanted, let me know and I will pull it out the garage.
Lee

EDIT : Forgot, engine is a 1.3. And its RWD, obviously ha ha
+ It will need a front bumper
