Flame Red Luxe + FTW

[bmw156]

i picked up this nova the other day, from a guy on here.

is gonna be kelbelles car when it has an MOT.

didnt pay much for it, win win

plans are just to get it MOT worthy and then let kelly drive it.

Pics from when i got it can be found here:



and then i started to investigate and take some bits off.

[bmw156]

[bmw156]

cheers, wil the doors be alright to pass an MOT there are a few small holes on the bottom corner as show in the pic.

would black tape over them get it through?

[Pistol Pete]

Doors should be ok i guess. But thats the least of your worries!!

the underseal was holding it together!!!

[bmw156]

ok so investigated some more today, the other splash guard is fooked as well, excatly the same as the one pictured above.

it needs a new set of wings.

there is a hole in the lower front panel.

that hole pictured above in the headlight panel, got a bit bigger.

the passenger sill i put the hammer through it!

not good times

i think the reg plate shoudl be FTL

[vaughanmc]

You'll get there with it though ? :)

[bmw156]

lol, im not sure what to do yet vaughan, might break it and then scrap it.

im 100% gonna claim back the tax. as its about 50 quid worth so.

and then i might see if i can make the money back breaking it. or see if kelly wants me to do the work etc.

[vaughanmc]

Would be worth it mate - Make it a good shell :)

[jbird2009]

thinking of selling it mate?
