Nova Ski

[Pete]

Well i bought my Nova Ski on September 15th.
i havent done much to it since then
becuase im skint but im goin to get as many parts as i can today seen as its payday.
Theres alot of rust on my slag at the minute...
but heres a few pics of the car and after having a big look over it dosent actually seem that bad, i need a new front bumper and a new panel. Still havent got round to fittin the Cd player becuase im C**P at wiring "/

Heres a few pics and ill upload some more pics of the slag as soon as i start on some work,

(++ How much is it on average for a full spray paint?)

You don't appear to need a new front bumper mate - Just 2 wings by the looks of it

The front panel doesn't look too bad either

[Pete]

Hmm maybe so, think it would work with a wet and dry pad and filler it?
saves buying a new bumper...

[vaughanmc]

You don't need a new bumper - The bumper is the grey plastic bit that goes over the top of the front panel...

Looking at they pictures you need 2 front wings

got to agree with you there it only needs 2 wings from pics and a bit of tlc on the front panel

[Nick]

Once you take the wings off, i think you'l find the front panel is probably past it's best.

Very cheap to do, Just have the panel tacked in at a bodyshop and paint it yourself, it's mostly covered by trim/headlamps and the exposed section at the bottom wont really be noticeable if its not painted perfectly.

Few pics, nothing major done on it as im short for money because of christmas, but heres some little things.

My new parcel shelf speakers for the parcel shelf i havent got.

[Rysee]

Haha yeah i am too, pushrod lack of power ftl

Looks savable what's the boot floor like?

[L33 LEG]

has potential. id get the bodywork sorted asap though :)

[Rysee]

Lucky you got some plugs, i've just been for service parts and they don't stock anything other then the oil filter at Halfrauds or my trusty independent motorfactors

[Pete]

yeah i know, ive had some of the major things body work sorted, i bought a new door and whilst i was coming out to take it for a spin over private roads, some numpty on a bike was wheelying down a road and went into the side of me. so like i said when i have more money then im goin to start some "proper" work,
Plans for it,
All new panels,
Lowering kit ( coilovers )
window tints? ( thats a maybe )
2L engine ( which i have just not fitted )
some compomotive alloys
Calibra Leather seats

If anyone has any other ideas about some things that will make it look better, please tell me your thorts and maybe some pictures, im open to any ideas;

[Pete]

Sorry didnt see this post, boot floor is in "mint" condition, which i was happy about, its "apparently" never had a spare tyre in the boot, so there hasnt been alot of pressure on there which i suppose helps the boot floor stay solid?

[c19letboy]

looking good man, should throw a cool kit on it, would cover the rust up nicely, kindom developments make sum nice 1s

[supernova.629]

sounds good

[Pete]

well mowgli seen the **** peice today lol
was embarising to let him see it but nothing i could do :(

[pikey1986]

your exhaust is a mk2 item bud, thats why it isnt sitting in the cut-out

i wouldnt be emarrased(sp?) its only cosmetic and shouldnt cost much to put right and the plans you got sound good, good choice on the helfrauds £50 head-unit, i got one of them and for the price i was quite impressed

yeah i know about the exhaust, im goin to get another as soon as i find a cheap one, and the head unit was amazing for £50
cant complain saying it was from halfrauds:thumb:

[Pete]

got a parcel shelf today :) which im happy about, my grandad who use to be an engineer is coming down in a few weeks and were taking the engine out and welding the bay, puttin it on a toppler and welding the underneath and any other places that needs welding lol
will post pics when it happens but i thort id share it :)
+ whilst the engine is out i think ill jet wash it and spray some things white? for e.g. the air box, gearbox etc....

watcha guys think?
