Hey hi its me with john's (G88KAG's) old shell, well car really.
As most of you know it was (about 2 years ago) a finished, mag featured example, half interior, caged, 1.4 16v. John kept and/or sold some of the bits over time so I bought it like this..

I normally buy standard, as nice/new as poss cars if I'm planning to treasure/project it. (This car has barely any history, or originality with it) But I couldn't ignore this with its 'as if its just been painted' appearance, so it was just a matter of finishing it off, rather than start from scratch. Plus I want a car to go to nurburgring next year, get into tracking/sprints a bit too so it should do an ok job, its up the right street.
I'm not a mechanic, have little space and tools; so progress has been slow considering there's not really much it needs.. Also I used to have loads of nova spares, but spent '06 selling all of it off, so having to kinda re-stock up there too..
Anyway, heres a few project pics as its gone along.. just a shortened 'catch-up' to today..
Got it home..
Stuck some lights on it..
Interior, as it was/is...
had barely any wing bolts holding it, so..
no clocks, so fitted these..
