    Ish, stop start More money means longer to wait though, but I'm out of uni now so even if I end up stacking shelves, which I doubt, I'll have enough cash around to get the nova going.

    Full cage is definitely going in, very very full

    Top work Benn, can only repeat whats been said previously, but it takes some bottle to start ripping the roof off any car, let alone yours.

    Would be like a classic Mini. Chop and inch, weld and inch, and repeat...

    I'm inclined to think it would look crap too. Not to mention, introduce possible leaks and visibility issues.

    Looking great Benn. Fair play, mate!

    As Edd says, it looks nasty and you'd be cutting a good inch out and re welding it in.. I think it would be bugger of a job, just cause of all the shapes..

    Thank you too
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
