just found the best way to make a cavalier model!!!!

[patate]

i just need an opel astra coupé is they exist in another form than the racing version, a bit of bondo, some styrene and im done (with an "interior conversion" )

[ATMDC]

can you post a picture of the astra?

[patate]

this is a stock astra



the racing version (i think)



and a cavalier (the upper part of the car is very look alike

[ATMDC]

hmm, seems like it would be a nice project to try

[weaponCIVIC]

hey does kinda look like it.

you know, in japan cavaliers are toyotas. it would be interesting to see that...

[patate]

i just need to find a model which is not priced higher than 50$ (it hurts a the wallet a bit),already got the imagination and the bondo lol!!!!!!!

and yeah i know in japan cavalier where toyota with some minor diffrences (like the fender flare up front,mirrors,taillight,leather steering wheel and the rhd) the Z24 was the 2.4Z over there and they were all automatic 2.4 (no convertible available)

too bad there aren't any stock Astra in kit form because I think those cars (cavalier, opel and vauxhaul) are all using the same chassis.

What about a Renault Megane?

[patate]

a renaud mégane as a j-body (chassis) or making a megane?

Use it to make a Cavalier. It might work, though I can't find a kit of it. I thought Fujimi made one, but I must have been mistaken.

You're correct but it's in 1/32 scale.

You can get a resin 2001-2002 Cavalier body from Slixx decals. It's a pro stock Cav, and it's just the body, no chassis or interior. They sell it for $30. The body is made by Competition resins, they have a real good rep. Slixx website is www.Slixx.com

The Prostock is much longer, this will be a street/tuner version.
