mk1 nova saloon

[saloon chris]

well here is my mk1 nova saloon 1.2 ,was owned by 101 year old lady who had owned it from new , its done 34000 miles since 1989 , hope you enjoy

here it is when i bought it , bit tired looking i must admit


i cleaned it up a little


i then had a play with the exhaust :

centre section out scafold in


i then swapped the back box with a fiat cinquento centre section , gives a really nice old school rumble

a nice burn too :D


lowered it down 100mm all round and put 13x7 and 13x9 banded steels on it





i had to hammer the arches out to cover the wheels a bi better , skimmed with filler and awaiting paint :





and thats it so far hope you like it

[pikey1986]

it looks very nice, IMHO the rear steelies are a touch ott but the fronts look spot on

[Iain]

Agreed the rears are a bit wide but looks pretty cool Fronts getting flared a bit too?

[saloon chris]

thanks ,the rears are pretty wide but i like them , im unsure about flaring the front because i want it done well and i dont have the tool you bolt on to roll it really nice

[Matty Winslade]

i really like it mate , really retro cool

[saloon chris]

gald you like it

[Spudly]

Looks like your regplate has fallen off, i hope youre going to put it back, as it looks silly there

[Edd]

Looks good, not something I'd do mind

Agreed on the number plate tho, looks a little silly there IMO
