not much of a update but the car has been in my garage for about 5 months had a cover on it and everything closed it had alook inside the other day and found soome mould on the streeing wheel so off with the cover windows down about and sunroof open abit as well and i gave it a good quck clean some pics

http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o585/novadave24/IMG_1505.jpg?t=1361644265
and then all tucked away with the cover off ;)
http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o585/novadave24/IMG_1506.jpg?t=1361644369
Id definately refit the cover tbf if its in an old garage, youve got wind deflectors so you can happily leave the windows down about an inch and have no worries of any (leaked) water getting in :d
novadave24
23-02-13, 07:03 PM
iam going to leave it off a few days and see how it is on monday the garage is ok no leaks is nice and dry bit of a gap with the door and the roof but iam going to get some off that foam stuff for it but yeah the windows are down about a ich and the sunroof ;)
Id leave the sunroof closed tbf, as it stands the windows are open but covered, whereas the sunroof isnt, so anything could drop onto and into the car through the sunroof, if your roof is good on the garage then it should be fine, i personally wouldnt leave it open lol
novadave24
23-02-13, 07:16 PM
oh no you got me thinking i should close it now :confused: but the roof dont leak and plus i got the nova as close to the rear to the garage as i can and i got the sunroof slider closed its got its little vents lol so it do for now :)
Should be alright then i reckon, but id close it next time youre down there though, thats just my personal feeling on it, but its up to you mate lol
GTE's look stunning in that colour

23-02-13, 07:38 PM

Don't break it mate,it's worth fixing ;)
novadave24
27-08-13, 09:14 PM
I was just thinking about it but its going to be fixed I want it as good as new like yours :)

It's sore on your pocket at the time mate..but if you get it done right it will be worth it in the long run & it will only go up in value as well,so if you do decide to hang on to it for a few more years you will probably get more back on it than you put out just now :)
novadave24
07-12-13, 03:18 PM
