looks like its sagging in the middle.

looks like its sagging in the middle.

That's what I thought...

[blue_peg_16v]

is it still running a let?

[L14MNP]

is it still running a let?
I'd be running scared if my name was on the V5.
Certainly looks like a broken back lol

[Jack]

Its not sagging, thats just how it looks due to the back not being chopped straight. Plus the rear suspension is lower than the front, so that makes the sills appear to slant backwards whilst the top of the pickup area appears to slant upwards.

[Rysee]

I love it, that's awesome, more pics?

It would have cracked the filler/paint etc also, plus it really shouldn't fall apart where the maximum bracing is - but who knows.

I always thought the square rear window cut out spoiled this one.

you dont need wheels, you can drive it straight to the scrappers on those steelies

HTH

FCUKING LOL mate!
Feel my green love x

[L33 LEG]

Recognise this a few months ago off here i think. absolutly love it, if you don't buy it let me know!

Not sure which wheels would suit it the most, i may be tempted to get 17s for it. something modern aswell, ie. off new vxr's or whatever are 4 stud.

[Ben]

i think its a dog tbh, seen much better ones.

The lines just sway to much imo

[blue_peg_16v]

imo loons need 16s or 17s due to the rounded arches

[kc_08]

[brake-dust]

you cant see the lines arent straight in the flesh tbh i never noticed it untill that pic, im thinking bbs wheels like what they use on golfs, think some fella on here has a set on his red loon, like it or hate it i couldnt give a toss i love it, its been well built and i have no doubt that its structually sound, a new back window is something i will look into, its running a 'let' at the moment but that will be pulled out and im gonna throw a v6 in the front, its all seam welded and strengthend so ready to roll, going leather recaro's, gsi dash, black carpets etc, i need something to use every day, thats comfy, reliable and practicle

[Rysee]

Meeeeee

Do it dude you have taste

lol got any pics of one of your project cars damper? they sound amazing....

why you buying a nova then

[brake-dust]

why you buying a nova then

cause there cheap and fun, decent suspension and nice interior will be good enough :thumb:

[Ben]

why you buying a nova then

rofl took the words right out of my mouth.

For the money your throwing at this you could have a 4-5 year old reliable car with all modern extras.

[L14MNP]

nice interior

I hope you stick to your Recaro plan and not Calibra leather then mate!

[brake-dust]

yep a 4-5 year old car i cant afford to insure lol i can insure a 2.5 v6 nova for just over a grand, anything like a forus 1.8 etc is well over that, i'll be more than happy if the project owes me under a grand, which tbh it should do easy, shell wasnt mega expensive

[brake-dust]

I hope you stick to your Recaro plan and not Calibra leather then mate!
calibra leather **** then?

[Ben]

you can insure a modified nova pick up with v6 with all mods declared cheaper than a standard focus!

Thats impossible!

[L14MNP]

calibra leather **** then?
Its foul IMO. Horrible shaped seats with no side support and covered in nasty cheap plastic cows. Each to their own though.

[brake-dust]

will take your word on that then, recaro's it is

[L33 LEG]

100% agree. Have never liked them, such a ****e interior.

[L14MNP]

I heard the painter broke his arm/was admitted to hospital/moved/doesn't return calls and texts. :(

Is your car being built up alongside his pile of lies in that barn too then?

[draper]

it may aswell be lol

didnt help i raided the nova fund to buy the vectra either :roll:

[L14MNP]

I thought it was sagging too but im pretty sure its the light because if you hold a straight edge up against the top left rear of the pickup and the right hand bottom of the mirror it all seems ok to me lol thats my theory anyway :roll:
