Don't look too bad :)

Get rid of that horrid numberplate on the front also get some good shocks and springs to lower it a little.

Is your misses happy now you have power steering lol

Hopefully in the near distant future a ZLET conversion but will have to see about costs and check my insurance first;)

I've just took that numberplate off mate, i'm not too sure whether to lower it or not i dont want to ruin the practicality of it you see.

Im not too sure yet mate as its a Nova stand isn't it? It'll look a bit daft . . . I may still come up as a spectator but might have to sell on my spot:(

Hahaha that was me a few weeks back, it does make a big difference to the looks of the car, but they are expensive to pick up:eek:

Hmm aye but I'm sure you could still come on the stand

VXandy

Hmm aye but I'm sure you could still come on the stand

I really would like to bud, but dont you think it wouldn't look right?

vaughanmc

06-02-09, 06:05 PM

Would be OK as theres more Nova's going to be there anyway so one or 2 cars out of the 15 wouldn't make much difference

You've paid up, you might as well come to it :)

I like my G coupe, there good cars out the box, however springs are a big plus point to the drive. I reccomend Eibach springs! I had them and they were great, now got Gaz coilovers though!

No offence fella, but a full zlet conversion for £160 delivered sounds well suspect to me.

Non-taken buddy it does to me but he did offer for me to go pick it up, i've also seen it running . . . and im only paying £20 upfront until i've give the engine a complete look over:thumb:
