This is all I have for now as the car is partially ripped apart, but enjoy!

Looking good 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) I like the style differences of the Catera :) :) Especially that brake light across the boot (trunk) :y :y :y
-
Looks good :y

Yeah I like it as well, but the LEDs in it are dead, so I heave to send it off to get repaired, as well as the 3rd eye brake LED bar. My headlights are also loose and broken on the inside, they rattle like crazy and have little plastic shards inside.

That's a shame on the head lights, because we more than enough over here, but they're the wrong beam pattern for you :(
Can't you change the LED's your self :-?
-
I could, but it's taking a huge chance. They are the type of lights that are hotglued closed, and they easily break when you try to open them. I tried opening one at the junkyard and it shattered in my hands.
How much different are the headlights?

The beam pattern will be for driving on the correct side of the road :D Kidding mate ;)
Exactly for that reason matey, we drive on the left. Though Germany, France etc drive on your side. Have a look on their ebay sites :y
Can the glass be removed from your lights? I would've thought that the reflectors would be the same :-/ & maybe you could change just the reflectors (if it's those at fault).

Not sure what is broken, most likely the piece that allows the adjustments, lots of little white plastic pieces rattling around in there though. I know here in the US they want WAY too much for replacement headlights, I may have to search on a German site for new ones.
Example of how much USED ones are here -

I thought the pre facelift catera had the same dash as the preface lift omega?
-
Like it! Especially the boot lid.
Thanks for posting-interesting photos :y
-
Interesting pics W. I rather fancy that 8-) - will look forward to seeing some more. :y :y

Basically the same, but why don't we have the oil pressure & volt meter?

What's that under the interior door handle on your passenger side door?

Power door lock switch.
I'm really glad I got this car as well... the car is so clean, there was only one speck of rust on a seam, and it was promptly fixed when I got the car. The bolts, screws and brake lines don't even have a speck of rust on them.

Nice Car W,
I like the centre console and the fact that the trim actually looks like wood. :)
More pics when you can..............

Hopefully it won't be long. Right now it's sitting under a car cover with the engine half ripped apart... hopefully it will be done soon.

Hi , which engine and size in the Catera? Like the rear!

USA Cateras only had a V6 3.0 ;) ;)

Wot no Tractors ;D ;D

I wish they offered a diesel over here... of course no one does except VW and our big pickup trucks.
Yeah, all we got here was the lower compression X30SE which makes 200hp. I think if GM offered different engines and a optional manual transmission the Catera would have sold far better.

Perhaps a 3.2L swap with a manual from the Catera Touring Sedan also known as the CTS?
