Well, its not been out the garage since the snow and ice started back in December. Needed to move some stuff in the garage so when it was out, thought i'd get a couple of pictures.

Still to be cleaned and polished:

Bonnet release handle needs replaced hence the bonnet looking slightly open. The battery is disconnected when its in the garage to stop the alarm from draining it when its just sitting. One of a couple minor jobs to be done.

thanks for the comments! :)

Looking forward to getting it on the road and to getting the odd jobs sorted out. Got a couple of ideas for it but this year will be concentrating on enjoying it!


Cheers, Jamie

Stunning!!!

I'm assuming those headlamp washers were never a factory option on a MK2 Nova though?
