I've not been on here for a while and was having a little look round my old posts and I can't believe it's been 3 years since starting the conversion project,
i finally got there (well apart from the occasional alternator rubbing the chassis leg which can be really annoying) but its driveable hense seems why there hasn't been any update recently, in the last 6 months it's become my daily work horse, doing 40miles a day so nicely run in now ,
But is starting to show a few signs of age now though, don't get me wrong it's still tidy and regularly gets passing comments and the occasional offer of buying it which gets turned down every time, (I've become attached to it after 7-8 years of owning her) but when you look closely there are a few bubbles coming through the paint on near enough ever panel and I think it's getting time to decide what to do with it come the end of summer, the decision being do I have the small bits of body work painted to tidy it up and prolong it a little while longer maybe a couple of years or do I get myself a garage and another workhorse to replace it something cheaper to run (I've toyed with the idea of a cheap base model nova so I don't get nova withdrawal symptoms ,)and sorn it so I can do a full restoration on it, I know this option would take a lot of time and effort not to mention money and would be a slow process doing jobs as and when I could afford. but I have always wanted the perfect nova as just a weekend/show car.
Hmm toughy
i will see this summer out though I think before making a final decision
