well shes having the rear arches done as we speak. and in the process iv purchased some parts for a c20let coversion. iv got to hand over some wedge when i get the car back because he also has a f28 with quaife fitted that i cant turn down :eek: iv got a engine lined up off a friend of mine,so its just a case of spending more money lol you only live once :thumb:

[Tommy_nova]

Good man i was toying with the idea to fit a let to the red gsi but i cant do it lol its staying 1600 theres not many left now.. i have the white turbo to use my ideas up on now so its not so bad.

hpe you get it all sorted tho dude

Looks tidy mate, sure you will have it back to its best.

how much the slabs going for i'm looking for something for the van..

[NOVA_LEE]

i like the look of this car but i dont like the idea of chrome with a nova but still its each to there own. thought of doin a 5 stud conversion an getting some supertouring hoops?

[Tommy_nova]

Thanks dude yea each to there own.. i just see the car how it was before with the speedlines i may just fit my white comps and be done with it as moneys abit tight for now..

i have was thought about 5 stud but was unsure what you would need to do as im still running small block and its finding a full set up at a good price.

[Tommy_nova]

message me on facebook fella we can have a chat.

you know , i miss haveing a nova to just go for a drive in:(

When i got it off Tommy it had coilovers in the front which knocked like fook and standard springs and shocks in the back, so i just put a set of springs i had lying around in it. Personally i think it looks better on the slabs than on the speedlines. Each to there own when it comes to chrome bits, although ive never been a fan of it.

This is what it looked like back in the summer..

I bought a Vectra back in November to run around in while this was in the garage over the winter.
But i ended up selling both of them and buying this..

Cheers Si :thumb:

[Tommy_nova]

To be honest i prefered it before its mega harsh and bouncy now but as sai each to there own i prefer it in my pics with the black boot vinyl and speedlines or the 3spokes .. shame it needs arch all round now.. was mint over the 4 years i had her.
