hi peeps i bought a bog standard Gsi nova last year stolen recovered with 28,000 gen miles on it for a very cheep £1500 BUT it was summer time and i just got my licence back and totally thrashed it and clipped a crash barrier needless to say the car wasnt looking good at all.

i now have decided to remove the car from use in the winter months and use the winter as project time.

we are in the middle of smoothing the bumpers, side skirts and rear bumper next is full respray in FOCUS ST FROZEN WHITE with the side skirts, door handles and boot grab handle going a nice CUSTOM RAGE BLACK. the car has been de-locked with an izuzu trooper vent and 2 astra gsi vents in the bonnet, CUSTOM COSWORTH EXHAUST EXIT will be going on it next week and white 16'' speedline allesios with red griffin center caps, big brakes from 2.0 16v, fully ajustable fk super-tech coilovers and hoping but next week full car poly bushed.

this coming winter i am hoping to drop a 2.0 130 SEH engine with a F16 box in it, better coilovers, roll cage and front strut brace.

will keep you all posted on whats happning heres some pictures to have a swatch sorry theres not many most of them didnt turn out, will get better pictures up asap. thanks for lookin!

looks good who painted it?

it was a young lad in carluke called ross allan, who is trying to start his own wee buisness up. he gave me loads of ideas and tips on what paint would turn out the best he wanted me to go for white with a red pearl but focus st frozen white was the choice of colour. he done a full respray, vents in the bonnet, smooth out bumpers, door locks, wiper motor and a repair on my offside headlight all for £500 + a 6 month garentee. i had an old tigra i was going to send to the scrap but he offered me £300 off the price of the paint job. good deal if you ask me! :thumb:

:wtf: whats wrong with the alloys? speedlines look much better than cav slabs, i was going to keep the original wheels but there to skinny and cant hold the road, 1.2 maybe? everyone has there own tastes bud i was going to keep it all original but modding got the better of me lol , just thank god im not putting a big bodykit on it because bodykits on novas are terrible look chav-ish lol as for the seats i hate them myself and will be upgrading them to much nicer, tidyer seats soon.

:wtf: whats wrong with the alloys? speedlines look much better than cav slabs, i was going to keep the original wheels but there to skinny and cant hold the road, 1.2 maybe? everyone has there own tastes bud i was going to keep it all original but modding got the better of me lol , just thank god im not putting a big bodykit on it because bodykits on novas are terrible look chav-ish lol as for the seats i hate them myself and will be upgrading them to much nicer, tidyer seats soon.

thanks for your comments :thumb:

Spot on! Wheels = Fookin amazing
Seats = Fookin ****
Bumpers = Fookin slick!
Keep up the good work!:thumb:
