    Default My C20XE Nova WORK IN PROGRESS

    just thought id let you have a look at my Nova, these first few pics were mainly taken in august/sept 2008 but i will update as i go!
    It started life as a white Luxe+ 1200cc SPi

    Its been fully respayed inside and out in a newish Vauxhall Blue (2004)and all underneath has been shot blasted and re protected , MPI tank and axle in gloss black (will be completely waxoyld when finished) had a C20XE dizzy engine fitted from a MK2 GTE astra, F20 gearbox,

    GSi bumpers, novadose skirts and BATmotorsport rear spoiler, Jazz rear wiper arm, delocked, Digidash

    Classic Recaros have been retrimmed along with the rest of the interior and the roof lining

    all cables, gaskets, seals,brakes are new from the dealer

    Poly bushes are fitted along with Harry Hockley strengthening kit, engine bay was welded up also

    it now runs and is getting ever closer to my every day run about

    let me know what you think

    The doors are complerley blue, had a proper respray inside as much as poss to

    only white bits are the a anc c post and under the front carpet

    the only dodgy bit is a bit of surface rust near the pedal section where it meets the bulck head, hammerite and waxoyl will sort that
