Ecofire into CavEcofire
Wednesday, November 03, 2010 4:47 PM
Hey everyone got some news to share seeing as I am very excitied about the new pile of parts that are sitting in my garage I thought I would share. I don't know if anyone on here saw my swap thread but i havn't done much since that work took place. I have just been enjoying the car and have been really busy with work. Now that I am in between jobs I have too much time on my hands and have been thinking of a new look for the car. Hence the 04 Cavecofire!!! So here are the pics of the parts. I am planning on tearing into the car next week seeing as I have a bunch of other stuff going on and I will have the whole garage to myself I was lucky enough to find a cav that was smucked in the rear end so I get everything!! Also the doors are mint! Not a spec of rust. The whole car was like that I think the guy that had it oil sprayed it every year !!!











I will be taking lots of pics so get the popcorn out!! Hope you enjoy!

True, but rust free was mentioned, other doors may be showing wear/rust

Nice job, and good find!! But Now I know u took those doors off of a coupe, but for some reason they look like sedan doors. Am I missing something. I see the car in ur sig, and thats a coupe, but those doors look like sedan doors. But either way, yeah finding clean doors are hard as hell lol

the side moldings on the door look like coupe moldings to me.

rk sport or lss is the only way to go for the 03+ bumper. still need to find one.......

Blucavvy and slvrblit, yeah thats what I figured, its just the pic. I would hope nobody would grab sedan doors for a coupe

Yes sunfire rear end and cav front. And yes they are coupe doors!! I would love to have the Lss front but hey take what you can get. And for 500 for everything!! can't complain. I also just got all the wiring and switches for the power windows today!! So no more cranking those windows up. I figure I'll prob break down and buy an rk sport one. Just a question about colour, I was thinking of going with the blue for the whole car seeing as it needs a paint job next year. What do you guys think??

and another plus is you wont have to spend hours sanding that spray paint off of those old doors.

Thanks, I still have a bit of work to do to make the hood line up nicely when latched. It seems to want to sit lower than the fenders. I moved the latch up as far as I can and I put five washers behind the striker on the hood and it still is not exactly flush. Its close but not there. Any ideas how to fix??
