MK1 Daily

[_Jake]

Cant seem to find my old thread i started for the daily So heres a new one
Bog standard 1.2L on Cav slabs. Love it! apart from the 4speed box on motorways

Gave it a wash/clean/good going over today so took a few sneaky pics:

Thought it came up well for a 26year old car.





Also had a go at making some euro rear lights too




Got some pressed metal plates for it too, UK legal ones not the german ones as the coppers are getting pretty hot on that sort of stuff about here now. Only other plans for it are banded SR steelies and get it low low but that will be after it comes out of winter storage. thinking about flocking my MK2 dash and putting it in with the calibra leathers i won off Ebay but im not sure? Any opinions appreciated

Did a few things today:

Gonna take it off the road for a few days to sort the rust bubbles on the front panel coming through, want to catch it before it gets too bad!

Mk2 dash and leathers is an option of win for sure. I do prefer the Recaro leathers I found for mine (astra, manta etc) but they were a bit of a find to be fair and at a bargain price. Might be worth looking into other marques options though as it'll be the same cut and weld onto GSI Subframes job as calibra leathers.

Nice car, good to see an almost standard early Nova used as an every day car.

Well i bought some cally heated ones off ebay a few weeks ago, the bloke went on holiday and i aint heard from him since

Looks very tidy.

Cheers, havent found any nasty surprises yet

Youll be glad to here ive decided to keep it for the time being

Bought some Uprated Jamex Shocks for it off ebay too, £80 delivered brand new! so they will be going on with the 40mm springs ive got, dont want it silly low as yet because its still my daily.

Also toying with the idea of a Fiat turbo engine, either the one out of the GT punto or the 20v out of a coupe, but need to get my other nova done first
