I've owned this car since December and never drove it once till yesterday :) I was working on it the whole time and its 90% done now.

Was a bit neglected when I bought it with lots of bodge jobs, Its had everything replaced or refurbished pretty much!

And zlet management can be live mapped so its cheaper than going standalone, that was the whole purpose.

Looks nice other than the gsi bumper on a mk 1 just doesn't look right IMO

What's she running?

Edit: see the baby xe in the indicator piccy ;)

looks like a rallycross car for the road!! love it. i know why youve gone for the mishmash of mk1 and mk2 front ends, but expect a bit of flak for that! ive tried to convert my wings to allow mk2 lights but tbh i wish i hadnt started, its just for a rally car so doesnt really matter.

you got any pics of whats behind your fuel filler? thats the only bit of mine im not sure on yet, standard filler neck chopped and extended with hose??

At first glance i thought it was Dan's car! Very similar, which isn't a bad thing :)

Not a fan of no indiactors and would look better with mk2 grill and lamps imo, looks stunning from the rear though

Thanks for the feedback

And i've seen Novas with wide arches fitted with mk2 headlights without indicators and just look wrong imo, plus I wouldn't wana cut the wings for indicators

No pics but the bit that bolts to the car is been cut off and joined to that new aluminum one by a hose

Love it! Makes me want to get my wide arched finished... Ironically I was looking to do a similar colour, vw nimbus grey.

Looking good dude, unsure on the mk2/mk1/widearch face but then im turning into a purist these days :eek:


Lomas' nova looks even more of a weapon than the last time i saw it, total h'animal :d
