just started doing the bodywork on my nova, trying to keep it standard but with a couple off one offs, just after some inspiration from you guys, stuff like vents or smoothing pics would be great
i had a folder full of ideas then my pc died on me grrrrrrrr

Smoothed aerial, side repeaters, locks and maybe fuel filler cap is always a good start

true lol as iain says smoothed side reapeters, aerial looks good, smoothed grab handle, trooper bonnet vent looks good.

was looking at vents not really a fan of the trooper ones, but one day thinking of changing it to carbs so working vents would be good, thinking of some lourvered (is that how you spell it) vents on the wings

to be honest, i think all youll find are been and done tweeks/modifications in the gallery and so on.
Best bet is look outside of the nova circles, vauxhall circles even.
Sites like www.cleaned.be (http://www.cleaned.be), speedhunters, edition38, there are many more.

ive not seen it, but gutter removal, smooth out the boxy bits on the arches so theres no big fold in the metal, flare the arches?

yeah flaring the archs i was thinking of but i do like the boxy archs think it would lose its character if i got rid, i did have a pic of a nova with no gutters sure the guy said it was really hard to do, something about thats where the roof is held on from
