My 84 Cavalier
Thursday, February 15, 2007 4:13 PM
Hi, this is my first post, I found the site looking for information about
my car, it's been my car since 94, and, well I'm refusing to let it go,
now I see it a little retro and I like it, it's my every day car.
Originally it was red, with 13" aluminiun wheels, then in 2000, I painted
it yellow, and bought 15" wheels, I thought that a bigger wheel coulnd't
fit on the space, but now I see the cars here with 17".
Last year I changed the interior, and, now is time to paint it again, I'm
not sure if I'll keep the yellow, but I'll modell it on 3d to visualize it and play
with materials and colors.

here's a link to some fotos

and here, to a commercial from the car that ,,comforts your very soul"

Thanks =)
Birdboy, I saw your car, and I though I couldn't get sideskirts
for a 4 door, where did you get yours?, and, were your handle doors chrome?
mine were, and the rails over the windows also, I painted them, but, the
paint doesn't stay, it's very easy to peel, any advice?

Nice first gen sedan you have there. Good luck with the 'refreshening' job you plan on doing. I dig the yellow / black trim combo.

Keep us posted on what you decide to go with!

it and it has to make you better.......it has to.......

I started modelling my car, I'll be playing with the colors to make my decision.
It's still a W.I.P. I need to model the headlights, detail the rims, and
rear lights.

I love the white one. I had a brand new white four in 84, kept it for 4yrs. Then I got a Fiero.

Dude.
I dont know how much I'd have to PAY YOU but can you Model my 87 Chevrolet Cavy RS Wagon?
I need a model like this so I too can experiment with Paint COlors, Body Kits, etc...

Please help my poor soul out LOL. I refuse to let my Wagon go, just as much as you refuse to let your Cavy go heh.

Hi =), I haven't had time to keep the modelling, I just made 2 more renders, but, does anyone knows how to
edit old posts? I want to take out the first renders because there are many images on this page,
and some are not loading without pressing refresh more than once.
To Shiin: Hey, thanks, but I'm doing this on my freetime andsStill haven't finish,
I don't think you should spend your money on this, with that money you could buy
more accesories to you real car, but, let me finish mine, and then I can work on the rear
part to create a wagon, and you can just tell me what color you would like to see.
I already went to the shop, and they made me an estimate on the work, It'll cost about $900.
well, here are the new renders:

im not feeling the off center hood scoop

but it would look good if ya center it



Re: My 84 Cavalier

Center the hood scoop.I am not much on the strips on the hood to rear,but feel with the white with maybe a blue strip down towards the bottom would be a more appealing looking and not so gawdy.The strip should be small and more at the edge of the bottom of the door and go front to rear nothing flashy just a compliment and add some chrome plated star wheels original size 13 in with the chrome center caps.Plain simple and clean and very appealing,that's just my take being a stock owner sticking to it.Nice design overall tho!



Re: My 84 Cavalier

I still vote for the white one with blue stripes down the center of the car.
