Cavalier! I got a mark 3 recently and i love it

Steve, that round of applause when you opened the bonnet cracked me up mate 🤣🤣. I was an XR2 man myself 👍💯

My favourite 90s car was a saab 99 turbo it was so ahead of its time and went on to do over 175 thousands miles..

Loving Dougie,s Cavalier Diplomat, a great save that

oh well. its all good fun and content. looking foward to the next video.

Have to agree, I loved a 90s Cav and had a few SRIs back in the late 90s. Great cars back then. Had a mint mk2 LXi all lowered on 15 inch TSWs back in 1998 which I loved. Still miss that car!

My friend, I feel your pain when you realise that the project car is beyond repair. I've bought a couple of cars and they would cost more to repair than they are worth or the amount of time would mean that you will be working on it for years. I have meny cars from the 90's but I always liked the Cavalier GSi 16V, the BMW M5, Carlton 3.0 24V and the Jaguar XJ12 6.0. All of them great fun cars and I wish I could have them again. Keep up the great videos and well done.

Mk2 carlton was my favourite, was a decent drive,good on fuel and very comfortable. Closely followed by the v6 omega,went well but liked a drink or 2!

My favourite 90's Vauxhall is probably the first Vectra. I didn't think much to the mk2. When the Viva started up it sounded gorgeous 😍

Once driven forever smitten great channel hi bob

At least you gave it a go Steve, and yes she’ll be good to keep other griffins on the road..! My favourite 90’s cars? Probably my cavalier GSi or cavalier 4x4 turbo..or maybe my calibra turbo. .🤷🏻‍♂️Hard to decide which one but at least I can say I owned em at some point ..wished I had em now 😩. Looking forward to the continuation of the Viva and next week’s video mate ❤️👍🏻

😂 my favourite was the eBay ad I’d never buy a car from you like never ever 😂

Love the channel, very brave even considering a second fixer up, not sure that Cavalier will fit in the garage. Good luck with the garage/ house hunt 😉Favourite 90’s E30 325

I was working this out ..and it struck me I have owned every model of Astra up till the Astra J ( I have an 08 sportshatch Astra H at the mo) .. also had a green N reg Corsa exactly like that one ..fab car..used it for pizza del ..never missed a beat.

You have done the right thing there, even my polish friend wouldn't buy that one 😂, I had a couple of those Cav 1.7 turbos huge turbo lag but as soon as the turbo cuts in they go like hell. I remember keeping up with my mates GSI Nova -he sold it after that as he was embarrassed a diesel Cav kept up with it on the motorway 😂

Another great vid. my 1990.s fave car is a Rover 220 Tomcat 👍

1996 Towncar was my favorite 90s(had one so Im biased haha) 6 or 7 ashtrays in that bad boy, and I dont smoke! Haha Watching you in that tiny garage makes me anxious! I have a two story double width barn and I feel cramped, if I had your spot I may not even bother! Good on ya for pursuing your passion!

Diesel and power steering fluid mixed together and a little in each cylinder every few days, I feel your pain, I had to change front lower arms, with the same room you have, I spent most of the time crawling in or out squeezed against the wall, the Viva started up a bit rough, soon as you finish it seems to get jealous and want more work.

I had one of these cars..1.4 16 v that thing was a stick of dynomite. Good car. I drove it to Bulgaria. Solid underneath.

For my favorite 90s car has to be the Astra GTE in fade away red and I quite liked the Cavalier SRI . My other fancy was the Ford Escort RS with the picnic table spoiler on the boot . Oh those were the days!

You had a lucky escape there Steve that thing was just a money pit mate 😮I watch once driven as well and I do exactly the same mate looking at cavaliers there's a nice one for sale in Stanley sri replica but no good for you mate doesn't look like there's much rust for you to get ya teeth into 😆I really like them old three litre senator's as well Steve only problem is we've got two cars to start with! if I turned up with another one our lass will think I'm taking the piss 😂

I bought an old mk3 cav for 200 quid about 15 years ago as a run around. It was brilliant. Had to drive 100 miles to collect it. A pully for the alternator broke on the way home and we had to steal 4 batteries from my friends work on the way home so we didn't run out of electricity. It looked like a piece of crap, but fixed the pully and it never missed a beat after that.

Nice one!. More rust and corrosion on that one than the Viva!.... 🤣🤣

Steve - I think you need to check out the bulbs, earthing and wiring on the Viva rear lights.

Fav 90 car ether Renault Clio Williams or ford fiesta rs turbo Keep up the good work Steve love ya channel all way be a fan

I'd be concentrating on the Viva. Had a mk3 Cavalier. No power steering. One heavy brute. Next was a 96 Vectra 1.8 LS. Loved that car.

Citroen Xantia Activa was my fave 90s car.

Had quite a few cavaliers as private hire cabs, bullet proof x

Hey fella I watch Dougie from once driven forever smitten, you should message him to see if he wants any corsa parts. I do like the cavi's i had a mk3 cav sri wish I had the turbo 4x4 👍

You can do a lot with a Astra and a red top 16v but I love a good old Carlton dropped and 3L 🎉

Vauxhall tigra was a fun looking car but not many left of them now

Hard one to answer as had few 90s cars lol was fond of the citreon ax GT when was a lad also had a MK2 Uno turbo and few Vectra Sri

I had a mark one Laguna from about 95 if i remember rightly bloody lovely car to drive and really comfortable. never had a problems with it in two years. the only thing that let it down was the bloody heater matrix failed (comon fault on the mark 1's) and it's a bastard of a job to get them out so i scrapped it as it was during winter and i was freezing me knackers off getting to work. 🤣

Rusty Vauxhalls in the North watch out.. Retro Rebuilds going to hunt you down and bring you in😂

You never know til you try - favourite 90’s car…….Volvo T5, though I love dougies mk3 cavaliers and remember them well from the day. Also mk 1 Laguna, celica, supra, 200 sx etc 🤣

Plenty of nice things from the 90's, bit hard to choose what a favorite one of mine would be from the time. Will say i do like some 90's Rovers (like those 800 series ones), look like some nice ones will say & wouldn't mind giving them a go. Myself i daily a 1997 Mitsubishi Magna (called the Diamante in other countries), which i picked up for $2400AUD in late 2012 or so, and still goes great to this day. Got it from some old bloke, who kept it nice & clean, nice amount of k's on it for something of it's age back the, a smidge under 180,000 at the time. Rather have something like that from the 90's, than some new crossover thing that's tech this & hybrid/ev that, just stuffed right up the backside, as many do nowdays. Like some have said, card kind of reached their peak around the end of the 90's in some aspects, and are just nicer than whatever new ones these days.

90's car? Had to be my Toyota MR2 mkII. Bloody lovely 😂😂😂

My favourite 90's car? Ford Mondeo MK1.

Hello,shame about the Corsa,I thought it would start but it wouldn't 😔,I do like the Vauxhall Cavalier,they are nice cars.i do like the Astra GTE in white for a 90s car for me.

Straight to EMR 🤣 NEXT!! 😂 The'll be a Nova dude crying for those wheels mate 🤔 you definitely need to keep watch on the WB catalogue, few weeks ago there was a Mk3 diesel Cav.. No reserve! Looked a tidy thing. Can't really recall a fav 90s thing... As long as it made a profit 😉🤣👍

Win some ,lose some. at least you tried and a few bits will keep others going. Favourite car of the 90s . Fiat panda 4x4 Sisley which i wish I'd kept cos theyre silly money nowadays.

Awww, and I'd just got the cash together to part ex... Can't believe I was too slow!

The best 90's car to go for are Astra G coupé, still going cheap but are future classics, and the best bit is they are Galvanized bodies so unless it's been repaired or heavy stone chipped they survive

5:41 Every ebay ad ever. 97% crooks.

never leave your kids alone in the garage, i welded my dads carlton to the workbench with some box section lol

Bin the 1200 for a 1600 spi from an Astra or vectra with the szr engine code. Engines look exactly alike but you get a bit more punch & it’s a straight forward swap.

Any 90s Merc. Bullet proof in a way no modern Merc could ever hope to be.

I've had cavaliers from 2000 to 2021 but after that I got the Peugeot 405 sri to do. Since then I have got a vectra b sri recommended by Dougie

I wish they sold them in my country. Very interesting! Is this the top trim level?

90s favourite? 24 valve Senator was a real rocket ship..

Thought you might keep the electric power steering off the corsa for the viva? That would have been great content.

It's a Mk 2 Cavalier i want, preferably the SRi 130 edition. I had a Mk 2 and a Mk 3 both just 1.6L. I would also like a Mk 3 golf, I have had a Mk 1 and Mk 2 but have wanted the Mk 3 for a few years

I live in 70s & 80s so this is a hard one 😂😂 uh after googling it me thinks it would be a Trueno or Levin AE101/AE111. Not sure if Uk had or not, maybe not 😂 bye bye 👋 little Red 😂 oh well on to the next one 🎉

Funny you should have mentioned Mk3 Cavs.....I've got a Mk3 Cav saloon to restore if the Viva stops giving me work (ha! 😏 ) . The Cav is a bit like the Viva , used to see them everywhere back in their day, but hardly see them in the classic car world today...shame.

Favourite 90’s car has to be the EK9 Civic Type R or something simple like an XJ220

How did that car look ‘so modern’. Obviously a 1930s car used for ten years, abandoned in a field during the war until found by your good self. Thank god the little viva is so much more solid.

Please get the Cavalier MK3👍💯

Shame it seized - would have been fun to try and start it without the key by turning the hazard warning switch upside down. Mk3 Cav would be good choice for a 90's car - pretty economical in the day for what they were.

Great you had time to look at a second car 🚗 what year was that Corsa ?

Vauxhall cars were metric from the RWD Chevette onward.

I reckon if you'd of carried on with the rest of that Elton John record it would have broken free. And ran!

lol.. best video ever , have car, seized engine ... rather then blah on for weeks doing science stuff to unseize is ,,, sell the thing !,,, good shot ... lol

One good thing though 🤔 the car is 40lbs lighter than when you got it having knocked all the rust off it 😂, Time to concentrate on Viva 👍🏻 oh and my dad had a great way of stopping us kids messing in his car ? Locked us in the boot every trip 😁 I was 16 before I knew what a seat was and a wind up window was so hi tech .

Love the mk 3 cavs sreve had one 16gl beautiful car ran brilliant and like 2dr mk 3 astras. I think the corsa b do rot underneath, t sitting up didn't help it.

hi my favourite 90s car is a vauxhall cavalier mk3 1988 to 1992

"Kate" the Ford Capri on the KZfaq Rusty Love channel.

Where have you gone? Missing your vids...

Corsa B is a great car, the yellow one sounds like a lawnmower 😂

I'd go for a mk3 Cav.

Always had vans back then. Vauxhall Midi lwb with the 2.2 Isusu diesel. Loved it but rotted like hell.

Right decision, too far gone, there'll be another. Now back to the Viva...

shame its rotten really! i hope you didnt have to pay too much. got mine for £600 and its clean as a whsitle but the rear arches got a bit of bubbling! i hope you get a minter sometime and get to work

offside brake light out on the viva steve

Hammerite great to keep underbody rusty free but thirty pound paint can but seven years it last

drove past that corsa every day for years, planned to knock on the door years ago and see if i could buy it then realised i know nowt about cars LOL

saudações ... from Brasil

Probably a wise choice to bin the Corsa,could have turned into a money pit.

Put some oil in the spa plugs and let it sit overnight

90s Cars: Anything RS Turbo or a mk2 nova

I had a rover 216 from the 80s faster than doodoo off a shovel.

My son had an amazing metallic black Calibra with a Redtop engine. Flying machine, and luxurious with leather. He only kept it for a few months, be worth a bit now! Sorry about your Corsa, but based on your investigation of the rust, I don't think it was a keeper.

Axgt, Nova sr and xr2/xr3i

Mk 3 Cav SRI in white

Go upmarket and get an Opel Manta

Mk 3 Cavalier

With it been 8v slap a 2.0 8v in

God Almighty, was the Corsa parked near the North Sea for years? Very few '90s cars stand out for me, mainly because this is the decade where cars began to turn a bit bland and unremarkable. There's the BMW E31 8-series, but you definitely can't run that on a Knoppers budget. Likewise the Subaru SVX - a proper concept car for the road, but not cheap to run and the automatic gearbox can be fragile. At the cheaper end, possibly the Mazda 626 of the very early 1990's with 4-wheel steer, or the mid-1990s Mazda 323F 5-door, but can you actually find any these days?

The engine might have freed it's self if it was rocked in gear.

Canny rusty that thing. 90s. Cars. Got to be a mk3 cavalier. 🤔💭💭💭. I need another. 🤣🫣

Ford Escorts.+ cortines

Change the engine put a 2 L in it turbo

Fuel pump was most problem with corsa B they go at anytime they get weak blue light come die on road need spare pump in boot

Be honest the wife said it’s the corsa or me

Petrol petrol petrol okay Spa plugs do you spell Birth’s dirty needles so if there’s water check the transmission oil service spoke freshen the oil do a service the service about the transmission check the brakes checked this but good service good service and the transmission

Shame about the Corsa, would loved to have a Lotus Carlton or a TVR Cerbera, unfortunately I had neither lol.

It’s scrap let’s face it.

Why block your garage with such a piece of crap???!!!!

Thats a shame that corsa died but its onto the next hope you check the engines ok on the next rot box favourite 90s car mk2 volkswagon scirocco.

you got rid of a corsa for that pile of crap yellow stain viva i could tell you what i did to the viva`s back in the day wow
