nice looking car... can i just ask what wheels are they? (the white ones?)

[General Baxter]

your steering wheel is on the wrong side lol

[zeifer33]

These are just a Speedline, but will not be the end. A small problem with the steering wheel.

[novalovingned]

Looks like a clean shell....... good start. Plans?

[zeifer33]

Firts rebuilt to a road car, finally performance into my toylol

After discovering that he had water inside the car and began to oxidize these days I decided to heat and sand and paint inside the funds, use the plastic paint used in homes.

[zeifer33]

Well, the car is already fixed and waiting for further improvements.

Good to see you got the car sorted :thumb:

[zeifer33]

Yeah, today I install the exhaust, its TERRIBLE:eek:

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8101/30112009001.th.jpg (http://img18.imageshack.us/i/30112009001.jpg/)

[let_nova]

whats wrong??

[nova_niek]

I may be wrong, but it looks like the fan is missing from the radiator..? Is the manifold too bulky? Looks ok to me.

[zeifer33]

is a small modification, but after testing the car I can see it really is much needed.

[nova_niek]

Tell us more mate! Despite you being in sunny Spain, we may be able to help you out.

[zeifer33]

Well now I'm looking for a piece of the exhaust line of a Nova 1.3 SR, the differences with the original of a GSi, I provide a better exit exhaust. Specifically, the party seeking is running from the exhaust manifold to the intermediate.

I already have ready 16V nova brakes and hope this week I get home the best of all parties needed to install the brakes, anyone knows it could be?

[zeifer33]

New Hella rally grill and finally the new exhaust.

http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/5876/01122009.th.jpg (http://img535.imageshack.us/i/01122009.jpg/)

The next day some more things that are not yet installed.

[zeifer33]

The coilovers are already installed, has been the best mod I've ever done before. They are sensational, the balance of the car has changed a lot, is much more stable, agile and has very good handly.

Now I'm looking for a rear strut bar to compensate a little the bodywork, and also good brakes at the height of the suspension.
