[Pistol Pete]

Your Nova looks good mate. I like the Softstars, but the Speedlines look better! Keep 'em. Interior retrim is very nice.

You may be better off moving this to the Projects section. You can veiw all the other Nova projects aswell!

[TIDGE]

i think it looks best on the gsi rims

Earliest pic I have is after it was std & I had done the 1st few mods. Lowered, 16v brakes & Team Dynamics Monzas.
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c323/turbocraig/HOT%20METAL/img034.jpg

A couple years later I began a resto on the bodywork as it had the turbo conversion & the faded paint wasnt upto scratch.
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c323/turbocraig/HOT%20METAL/img080.jpg

Afterwards it was in its prime, gleaming from a full exterior respray & under the bonnet was looking good.

Its since undergone another resto to rid it of rust.

1x Engine mount kit

Remove the foul tasting small block.

http://www.loggyboy.com/images/MeritMk2/EngineOut/EngineDown.jpg

Prepare your chassis for power of redtop. Failure to do this may result in the sheer mass of the ingredients to destroy your serving dish.

http://www.loggyboy.com/images/MeritMk2/Welding/FinalEngineBay2.jpg

For that little extra spice consider a sprinkling of more modern flavours from a later model.

These can include brake servos

and steering columns
http://www.loggyboy.com/images/MeritMk2/CorsaColumn/StraightColumn2.jpg

and gear linkages
http://www.loggyboy.com/images/MeritMk2/CavShifter/CavShifter7.jpg

Once these items are mixed and combined well together, its time to add the main course..

http://www.loggyboy.com/images/MeritMk2/EngineIn/EngineInAnim.gif

After carefully moulding and kneeding the ingredients till they perform harmoniously, its time to have a taste of the fruits of your labour.

If all the ingredients were added in the correct proportions and pepared to your best abbilities then you should find the results are most pleasing.
