Just moved my nova to a new place where i can now start work on it, After 2 years of owning the car ive only put the wheels on and lowered it, Its been sat on someone elses drive and more and more battered but now after all this time ive got a new place to work on it. Ive been buying parts here and there to put on so here it is.

if you want seats etc, why dont you go posh and have leather seats from a calibra or a more modern flash vaux?
my mates got a striped out mk2 escort, and its well noisey. not realy what you want for any long period of time, we'r thinking of putting carpets in it and padding around the cage to deaden the sound a bit. Also going to be carpeting the roof, makes things much more comfy ;)
