[Will F]

Nice car - I am not a fan of 'ploughs, but this has changed my mind.

Whats happening with the suspension and when are you going to sort the interior? lol

[C7LJN]

Looking for some rear coilovers just now and the interior i hated to start with but now i like the sleeper look lol

Walking past it when you look inside it looks bog standard bar the gearstick. doesnt even have a rev counter and just has the standard radio thats it not even a tape deck :eek:

[vx kev]

[NOV4_SPORT]

Very very nice mate.

[nova*bitch]

Dont want to keep sayin the word retro but its retro!

I agree,keeping it nice and simple,looks good.its inspiration all right :)

[CrAzY_kAyLL]

Old skool stealth with new skool detailing love it :thumb:

How do you put up with the radio though ? lol are you going to hide some upto date touches on the inside like an ipod and some upto date speakers ? as that would make it the ultimate old skool nova stealth nova around imo

Dont think I could put up with that massive steering wheel though fair play to you

[Cle]

Dont need a radio in that the engine noise will be good enough :)

I think it would be pointless putting another radio in the car as it's never on the sound of the carbs is more than enough entertainment as you drive. The steering wheel is a killer tho I'm going to look for something still standard looking but chunky as you loose that one in your hands lol

[CrAzY_kAyLL]

Fiar enough i can't live with out tunes while I drive myself lol

SR steering wheel would blend in

[Nick J]

Looks real well that fella ;)

Nick.
