    I think the clear rear lights suit it.

    As i said on facebook mate its one of my favorite novas around! i think front half carpet and a black flocked dash would really finish it off and bring all the black together the grey looks a little lost in there. other than that mate its bloody awesome.

    p.s where do all the bitches sit with no back seat?
    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”

    ive took the carpet out because i prefer the proper striped out look, i do think i need to clean the front floor up and paint it properly though.

    im thinking about flocking the gte door cappings in black, and maybe the a pillar trims and eventually dashboard if i can be bothered to rip it all back out

    oh, im also busy building a rear disc conversion axle, and i really want some big alloy billet front brakes, like Hi Spec or something.

    Don't buy Hi-spec mate, useless calipers!!

    Can't comment on Willwood as I've not owned them, if you can go with AP or Alcon.

    Cage looks good, flocked dash will work nicely!!

    Bought some Rose jointed front tie rod mounts from Marc Hedleys turbo nova,



    cleaned them up


    coated them with POR-15 Rust prevention paint, ive heard good things about this stuff, some people have said its tougher than powdercoating, im going to do all of my running gear with this and we will see how well it performs.


    and here they are all finished with my GTE/GSi tie rods.
