tidy mate good shell for a project by the looks!!
Nice purchase mate! Can't beat a suffix plate :) I haven't seen any pics of that Nova in question for ages!
yeh the shell is very good, was having a good look and poke around yesterday and im really happy with the shell itself! it could do with some bodywork attention but nothing major really, just a few niggly bits. and i love the fact its on a suffix plate with the one mirror etc, possibly one of the oldest on here?
Glad you like it mate. Deserves to be restorted a bit!
yeh it does, i'll get it minted up again eventually

looking good, XE it!
tidy the bump strip marking's and lower it 60mm all round job done,very nice colour,looks pretty much same as mine(calypso red)???there not markings, they are little studs which can only be removed by a grinder. so my advice would be to try and get hold of another set of bump strips, much easier said than done tho obviously.
gunny get a link up for you 309 aswell :thumb:

its not calypso red, its like a bronze colour.... already done the 60mm drop, alesios on the way, and i want some bump strips but so hard to find!
Burgo: i would put something up for the 309 but havent really had time to take some recent pics, and feel cheeky writing about it on here lol, i saved your number by the way mate incase i may ever need it in future:thumb:
get some recent pics sorted and pm me a link then bud
I like it, but bet you will xe it in time. so i guess people dont have to have the hands over the ears with this one then lol
ok will do burgo, the missus is cleaning it today so i'll sort it later ;)
no this ones staying nice and quiet... for now lol, if she gets a job and can afford to run it then i MIGHT xe it, but then she will be driving a car thats just that bit faster than me:confused: lol i cant have that
well, put a new fuel pump on today, got it running (its pretty loud actually) as there is no backbox thanks to the lil side exit lol, only to find that the head hadnt been pulled down propperly and it was pissing water out! all sorted now though
been too busy and my fones gone funny again, i will sort some i promise, hopefully tomorrow
pics ;)
