Keiths Nova Turbo build

[krobinson]

It's been nearly 2 years since I stripped the Nova for its rebuild. It's been a long tough time and I couldn't have done it without the support from friends, family and my Mrs Terri-ann.

From the outset, the goal was to build it even better than before. To ensure it felt new to me, a decision was made to change the colour. Months of searching for something yielding nothing, until I found some old photos of a car I absolutely love - a Rubystone Red 964 911.

Choosing this colour meant selling off my interior and more and more cost, but I felt it was worth it.

The car isn't finished yet, but it's looking pretty complete. Wheel refurb is the next big cost and should happen next month, along with some nice touches like orange indicators. The rocker cover, strut brace and header tank are all going the same colour as the cage.

















Few more months and I'll be able to get the car out and enjoy it!

As I said on facebook, I think the colour is beautiful, have you decided what you're going to do with the wheels yet? I'm not sure what colour I would do them, so interested to know where your going with them.

Looks good mate, was wondering for ages what the colour was going to be haha

Paint looks immaculate, but I'm not keen on the colour. Doing the wheels same grey as the cage could be a way forward

Well that looks pretty awesome! Reminds me of one from the late 90's that eventually went pink(ish) / blue / white.

Still undecided, with the paint being bold they need to remain subtle to keep the overall look toned down. Thats why the cage is blue/grey as is all the trim

Cheers Ian, yeah that was Martin Hill's car, it was a bright metallic pink - awesome car

Wheels could end up remaining silver, Will see how the engine bay turns out first as it's all going that grey (rocker / header tank and fearless brace)
