    Perhaps you should get a SR/GTE front bumper on it. That way you can get rid of the rust on the bottom of the wings and front panel, without having to worry about getting an exact paint match since it will be hidden.

    Oh and black novas are awesome ;-)

    I've been having bare trouble with it at the moment; poor thing was choking to death thanks to previous owners neglect: just paid out £120 to have major service: new plugs, points, dizzy cap, rotor arm, leads, oil filter (Unipart decided to give me the wrong air filter).

    However I'm still struggling to get it to start first time from cold. Help?

    Also, couple more pictures to whore out



    How it looked when my other half owned it and when I first got it:

    For the Eastern PNGers who saw JB last week, I apologise - I felt so embarrassed at how much of a dirty, unloved jalopy he looked compared to the immaculate cars everyone else turned up in!

    Anyway, as today marked one year exactly since my other half bought him I gave him a much needed brush-up, ie what I should have done Sunday morning if I'd been more organised:
