Tatty in areas but considering the milage it's not done too bad. At least you've gone and sorted all the rusty areas and the floor looks clean.

Good start :thumb:

You sure there no Nova SX doors ? Doesn't have the SX interior and the SX should have rev-counter clocks and a 'time' clock and spoiler

before i got it, it was broken into so me mate replaced the door with an sx door that was white an had it spreyed red but i dont think they took off the badge when they spreyed it. sure its a flair or fun or summit along those lines, ill find me log book an update yas soon:thumb:

Its only a badge.........

Looks like its borderline worth saving, but credit given for giving it a go. Burn all the nasty old trim though!
