    As some of you may know the feature will not be happening now
    Was working this morning niped out for 5 mins ta got to the petrol station and while i was stoped waiting to turn in a guy run up the **** of me @ about 30/40mph... what a sore head ive got & the whole of my back is killing me to... Its so depressing for me, Scott & everyone else that helped build the car as Fast car were getin back to me in the next couple of days with a date for the feature.

    http://public.fotki.com/rs-styling/m...of-the-nova!!/

    As you can see from the pics the whole back is in & both quarter panels are ****ed, the floor is all bend, the ross cage has been pushed forward even my sub frame of my seat is sitin sqint the drivers door doesn't close prop as the B piller is bent.
    Goin to see if i can buy if back off the insurance, but not gonna re-shell just sell all the bits as ive lost interst in re-building it & i'm gonna buy a newer car
