Although many people claim to build show cars, few truly succeed :)
Easily one of the best Novas in the country (I've seen best of the best) ;)

Starting price is £5000

But cars like this are only worth what someone will pay for them,
I'm not gonna let it go for £3k so don't bother asking, but feel free to make an offer :D

May even PX ;) :)

where did you get the front headlights from they dont look standerd? Read what it says, he custom made them.
what interior are you using ( seats ) ? Recaro fronts with a custom made/trimmed rear bench
how have you got the rear quater windows to open ? I cant see anywhere here it says or shows opening rear windows.. And looking at the pics they arnt.

and finally where the battery is you have a red cover goin all the way across how you done that mate cheers? Make a template, get it fitting right then make a good one.
