Always loved this. It's a minter of a car be even better with the let in there.

Nice spec and the car looks very clean. I love the rl7 alloys one of my favourites on a Nova.

I did wonder where this car went! Looks amazing. Looking forward to see it progressing.

The start of november it was time to pull the 1.0L engine out to make way for the c20let and do a few changes to the bay re route the wiring loom behind the passenger side wing and do a mock up of were everything will go once engines in

Seams a shame to ruin the bay for stitch welding. Looks factory fresh in there.

You've done absolutely the right thing there on the driveshafts - body looks superb. Don't even hesitate to fully strengthen the shell; once done there's no looking back.
