Little Blue nova project :)
Here is my nova! just a small project nothing major. A mrk2 1.2carb merit Given to me by my Nanny and Poppy for flowers and a bottle of plonk. When i got it it had some rust not much was in good condition just needed a clean. It had done just over 21000 miles this now stands just under 30000 as its my daily drive.
and so the work commenced.
First things First after a good clean was lowering, got some fk coilovers.
Next thing was it to pass its MOT test, i left in in the hands of my trusty mechanical boyfried ( an mot tester ) where some mild work needed to be done
it started with some rust which turned into a hole made by sam ( he hid the car away from me ... well tried to)
and was a bit concerd. But Sam was actually pretty awsom at this!!!!
Tah dah!!!!!
Since this its been fitted with a peko exhaust system with four branch manifold, clearish rear lights and bigger better breaks. There was discussion on how to have the bumpers but i have now decided to leave them as they are. Its had color coordinated alloys on before which turned out to be a fail...loverly wheels not on nova tho.
wheels above = fail
wheel below (cesaros) = success
Wheels looked lush and got some vauxhall stickers to go on the centercaps (trying to find some nice badges now to replace the stickers). Sat and polish the whole thing inside and out, hooverd, washed and burgo even got mr muscle with the jet wash to give my engine a clean. I then sat an tcutted the whole car including under the bonnet, used back to black on some of the pipe work and classic peanut butter on the bumpers. Hairdryerd the black plastic between the windows and pulled it off, more polish.
Next step i think will be the interior although i am undecided on what shape and form it will take, have a feeling it will be a trial and error approch like much of the work done before hand. Athough i try to do the work theres no way i could do it without Sam so thanks sam
