Pic Whore - White Mk1 Nova's

[vaughanmc]

Could you please post up some pictures of any white Mk1 Nova

Preferrably a base model one like a Sport with no stickers

Not wanting an SR with the vinyl at the bottom etc but it would do for ideas

Cheers in advance; Vaughan :)

Intresting to see that centre caps fit. Do you know if he had to do any modification to fit them to the cesaros or just straight on?

[vaughanmc]

[L14MNP]

C20 TBO 'nuff said.

[vaughanmc]

[novalovingned]

C20 TBO 'nuff said.

how come hes put the original stuff back on?

[Southie]

how come hes put the original stuff back on? From Matts wip. :thumb: I feel like a ventriloquist, gottle of gear lol


Yeah, it has turned out rather oddly lol I did have plans to do a bit more with the car this year but things didn't quite work out. I've got big plans for it yeah and it's going to turn into more of long term project hopefully. Decided the car isn't practical to use as a daily so I'm taking it off the road and I'm looking to get a newer car at some point. Just wanted to get everything tidied up on the Ski so I can put it away for a while and know it'll be ready when I want to start on it. I'm planning on stripping it down to a bare shell and totally re-building it. It's something I've wanted to do for a while and if I didn't completely re-build it I don't think it'd ever be happy with it and there'd always be something not quite right with it.

Don't expect anything to happen over night, it's going to be a full over-haul if all goes to plan :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

E278 SCS - I'm sure I've seen that in Cumnock once or twice before...Used to be driven by an old couple if I remember rightly

yea a old dear used it for years doing mobile hairdressing lol its now in ayr my mates got it in garage doing it up, and ive got first refusal if he ever sells:d

[Matt]

lol @ Ben

Cheers for posting the pics of mine Southie, and thanks for the nice comments!

Here's a pic of how I want mine to look after the rebuild (excuse the poor 'shoppery)...

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff60/mattmdavies/4.jpg

As for the Ski decals, I'm going to carefully remove them all and have exact replicas made by a graphics company (someone like DMB). Then I'll have a set I can put back on the car at any point to turn it back into a Ski. I have also just aquired a new 80's brochure for the Nova and Astra Ski editions which has some good pics of the graphics. I'll scan it and post it up at some point!

That looks awesome! As you already have the wheels it would be easy to accomplish that look for billing 2010!!! ;)

[Matt]

Cheers Nick, would love to see it looking like that for Billing 2010. Gonna start stripping it all down soon ready for new paint.

Matt when you get a price on them let me know and then get 2 sets printed, apart from ur ski man, hes too big compared to mine :P id like another set so i can still keep the stickers but get the "slag" a re-spray :thumb:
