nova track/autotest project

[greg1.4]

thought i would start a topic about my new project. i owned this nova 6 months ago and i used it for autotesting. i then wanted more power and i bought a civic gt, but i dont like it. its unreliable and rotten. so..

the nova is a 1400 spi just now,
it has a K&N bolt on filter, stainless steel powerflow exhuast, omp harnesses and bucket seats, bonnet pins, boot clips, gte wrap around spoiler, mesh grille and a nice coat of bright blue paint.

i plan on taking the engine out, welding the bad bits up, re-spray the engine bay then fit a 1600 gsi with twin 40's and a higlift cam, get rid of the sound protection stuff inside, fit a full roll cage, i have already welded bucket seat mounts in, then spray the inside blue to match the car.

i plan on welding the rear arches/doors and re-spraying the car blue again. i also want to put some big raly mudflaps on, door squares and stickers etc.

i want to find two matching bucket seats and fit them, put a panel from the exhaust tunnel to the dash with a master switch, start button, fan switch and whatever else i need. i want to put some gsi 6 dial clocks in too.

pics coming soon and i will update the progress as often as i can..
