[Nova_Tek]

Nice Nova mate, really liking it. MK1 coolness. That grey stone chip looks quality too, actually looks very nice.

That hole in the cross member (bit under the rad). Mine started to go but I was lucky to catch it early, cut it out, plate it and plate over that whole area.


get the expressions polished!

Exactly what I was thinking. They'd look good and suit the retroness. And I'd actually like to see how they come out as I'm looking for wheel ideas ;)

[Nova_Tek]

Looking good with them Cesaro's mate. Still looked real nice on the expressions as well

[Southie]

Loving what your doing with this, cracking progress. :)

Prefer the Expression alloys tbh because they are more suited to the early mk1 front end, the cesaros will be more suited to your mk1.5 front end IMO.

Looks nice though with the interior in. ;)

[bakerznova]

cheers for comments guys !

decided to try Sr bumper on today to see what it would look like anyways here's pics....

http://i52.tinypic.com/2a75wcm.jpg

i'm undecided which grille to use... "Sr" or the "hella twin fog"

http://i53.tinypic.com/143zwuq.jpg

[Connor]

Looks awesome with the sr bumper tbh, both grills need to be colourcoded with the bumper properly to see whats the best one

Nice car mate - Looked 100x better with the early front end and the black wheels kill the car IMO

Silver all the way :)

[corsamalaga]

Hello that such a bakerznova I wanted to say something to you personally on your it nongoes costs, good 1 º congratulations for your nongoes and the truth is that this marvellously very well.

2 º the seats in bey and they him give black a very special toke and not because sera, and it is because probably it gives him game to your it nongoes.

3 º The paragolpes I would paint it his color close to a red stripe and him a special toke would give if not already sides.

4 º The rims identical with negress also give him a charming game with the bey and to my this tone I like it.

And 5 º would try to look also for the taloneras of it nongoes gsi originally and sides like you it is going to change the vehicle completely and on the gridiron with the very nice antinieblas to without a greeting and I will follow attentivly your post ok.

This dude really needs some English lessons lol

well i've got the spax coilovers on the front and the gmax red springs i brought with me i have put them in the back so i recon they are 60mm because it sits a nice height the springs that i had of you i tried in they sit just on top of the tyre but i like the way it sits, its just the right height
:thumb:

[bakerznova]

tempted to put the expressions back on as got some tyres now or leave ceasaro's on and repaint them ?

[Nova_Tek]

I'd personally keep with the Cesaros in the current colour.

[bakerznova]

I'd personally keep with the Cesaros in the current colour.

i do like the ceasaro's in gloss black, but they need repainting anyways because only did five minute job on them so might sand them back down and then choice a colour to repaint them, i like ceasaro's in the silver just not sure how well they will go with the beige

[Nova_Tek]

Hence why I'm saying to keep them in black. I know others won't quite like black but in this case they suit the beige very well imo.

got nova back to the floor on all four wheels to see what it was sitting like on the suspension set-up not too happy as the back sits at a nice height but the front is to high its on bilstein 60'S but doesnt sit very well at all
so think im going to find me some coilovers so i can wind them down to match the back

[Nobby]

gna be ready for pvs? you gona 1/4 mile it?

[TonySR]

Just read through the thread, love the colour and the expressions you had on it. You still got them?

Won't the front shocks need to settle before they drop fully?
