my nova project (volume 2)

[yayoboy]

hi all, ok, ive had my nova now for 10 years, and its been through a couple of transformations and yes unfortunately i had a bad girl racer stage with it and fitted barn doors to the front rear sides........ ugggh! but now ive grown up and decided to make her 'proper' ie i want a factory gsi look with a bonkers c20xe! its been in storage for the past four years but fortunately when i was younger and petrol was a halfpenny a litre i had the intelligence to get the the body sorted (it wasnt that bad to begin with but i wanted it spot on) so im hoping when go ahead and get it blasted it shouldnt find anything unexpected..... anyway heres how it last looked (sorry!!) and ill post some pics of how it looks now after i attacked it with spanners


how engine bay was:


ill also get some pics up of the bits ive bought so far for the 'restoration' (££££s on engine bits) wish me luck

is that candy red under the bonnet. looks ace

[philip]

dont like the kit or anything, but then again when you built it, it was all the rage. got to admit though the work thats gone into it looks mint fair play, under the bonnet looks awesome

You should definetly spray the outside of the car the same colour as the engine bay!!!The paint in there is mint
