Christ she's a beauty! Slabs suit it an absolute treat.

:thumb: :cool:

[GTE TURBZ]

Sorry about the pics, i used the wrong link when posting the images, all sorted now....

Yeah its 55mmF and 40mmR

[Rysee]

Love it!! very nice, the slabs are a nice substitute for wheel trims

[valvercorsa]

looks well sexy that mate :P

[vaughanmc]

Yeah its 55mmF and 40mmR

Cheers fella :) Mines must be -60mm at the back then :)

[Pistol Pete]

Top resto job. Car looks bloody great!

[mike-turbo]

looks very nice mate

[7ova]

nice looking gte mate
looks great on the cav rims but the original trims do it for me ;)

[AlexW]

Looking Gooooood.

Exhaust tip suits the bumper perfect IMO.

Any under bonnet/interior pics?

[Benn]

Not a fan of the gsim wheels, but that is a stunner.

[novait]

that looks great.. nice job.

[Spudly]

Thats stunning, was it not for sale not too long ago?

I hope its going to be staying put now though as its clearly loved where it is, im strange cos im thinking single wiper parked to one side and an izuzu trooper bonnet vent with the slats in it would suit it lots:thumb:

[Leeboo]

Thats brilliant looking.

Put a set of mudflaps on though so as not to stonechip your nice new paint.

[twistysnovagte]

wow what a beauty,im so jelous lol
can i ask you how much it cost to do the restoration as in the body/paintwork? pm me if you want.

[novaa]

Stunning.

Good to see them still kept alive in std condition after all this time.

[dj_wudgey]

top motor that matey!!

[Mazz]

simply stunning..

hoping mine will turn out similar to that, but with a hint of track-slag..

[GTE TURBZ]

Thank you all for your generous comments, didn't realise so many peep on here don't like cav slabs but yeah after all that time and effort spent think i'll be holding on to it...just hope i dont get bored and attempt to sell it again. But no dont think this time, think i may have got bored when it was on the standard supension and wheels didn't really stand out..

The engine bay and interior is preety much standard as previous posts have showed but once again thanks all glad it was appreciated.

I dont get bored looking at it let me tell you!!!lol

If there was gonna be an alternative to the slabs, i was looking at a recent post on here and the comp th's look f-ing awesome they would look a treat on the nova even they were in white, but preb standard silver. But as i wanted to achieve a factory look, slabs were the best option!!

Cheers all ......:thumb:
