    well i bought this lot during the week

    so today i serviced it, cleaned and waxoyld the arches front and rear, inside rear quarters and wheel well inside.
    plan to get it on a ramp and do in sills, floor pan chassis rails etc.
    took a pic of one of the rear arches before cleaning and then after it had been waxoyld. camera was running out of batteries so only 2 picsw and sorry for the poor quality.:thumbs:

    little bit of progress
    re did my arches with underseal (the black stuff) does look alot tidier, would like to have them painted but i think this option is alot more practical.
    also took off the badges on the tailgate and the side strips looks alot better now in my opinion.
    gsi interior comes next weekend so i'll get an update when thats in
    also picked up some cavalier gsi rims. had them on my corsa and think they are so effective on subtley (sp) styled vauxs so going with them again and also having them painted vaux anthracite again without the laquer.
    they will be getting refurbed this week hopefully as theyre in a right state at the moment,
    just a few pics from my phone

    what is the waxoyl like? and how do you apply it? do you paint the underneith and wheel arches first then put it on, or just after youve cleand it?

    looks mint anyway mate, nice nova to start with.
