Thank you very much.


Superb.

Thank you Sir. Pure luck till this point.. Last time i was pulled i thought it would be over the front plate.. Turns out the lettering on my rear plate was 5mm to small, how you see that from 8 cars back is beyond me. I did have plans to mount it on a quick release system.. Just never did.


Awesome pics. As said before defs one of my favourite novas

Thank you x2 means alot to hear that, as i remember saying the same to people..


handbrake comes up a bit high. lol

haha funny after i took them, i adjusted it. As it wasn't working really. Now locks on 3 clicks.

Looks as clean as always, never noticed it doesn't have skirts until now. Looks perfect!

Was never a fan of those wheels on your car but these new pics have changed my mind, in sure they look much better in person as well. Well done, you've built a perfect nova!

Edd
19-02-13, 04:33 PM
Red looks nice, but so does the blue, white would be awesome tho lol

Moving the air filter /afm would be a good idea IMO, in to the front arch?

Southie
19-02-13, 04:48 PM
Ironically I did one in white Edd lol

Just out of curiosity though, did you do a black one southie?

Behind the bumper/in the arch corner with a cheeky air scoop around tow eye kind of location would be my choice, not sure if that's smooooth enough for Benn though :d

lol nah I didn't do anymore, I could do but I feel like I'm taking the pee now and spoiling all the hard work that Benns done and turning this into a photoshop thread... Sorry Benn :(

Is it? It's miles off completed. Roof skin swap in the next few weeks/months, there still lots to do after that too. Love these photoshops, you know i do..


would look good with out the air filter if it could be done but it looks cool were it is mate :)

Bit tricky tho. Getting it under/past the chassis leg wouldn't/wont be easy. But i'd like to get it out the bay..

yeah when i first built it, i painted the skirts, but wasn't sure on them. Everyone has skirts... Thank you very much too. Will be at all the shows so come and have a look..

Blue is best...

I'd love to have it in the inner arch, it's just the worry of keeping the filter clean, so i'f have to use a air box mounted to the front panel with a filter in there. Prob is that's where my oil cooler is.. And it's getting the pipe work under/thru the chassis leg. I could cut a circular hole, the weld in a tube for strength and go that way.. But there isn't room then for the oil cooler..

I'd like the sides of the bay to match see...


Still one of, if not the best example about at the minute! :cool:

Thank you very much, means alot.


is a very nice nova

Thank you.

Dont be sorry. I do enjoy them alot. But blue will always be best.

Cheers Jeff. The colour really does pop in the sun.. Another reason why i love it. Glad you like :)

Not much to say but a beautiful car and well finished, the assumption from the engine bay is that it looks as though it goes even better than it looks.

Proper top drawer nova mate, the hard work really pays off. its a struggle to think you have more to do.
If i can get mine half as good as this i'd be chuffed.

benn this is my favourite nova on here. Im not a fan of the wheels, i preferred the old polished ones.
what about hiding the air filter in the scuttle panel somehow? then it keeps it hidden and clean
keep up the good work though

Thank you and yes i do. Alot..

It does go very well, you don't have to keep ya self in check to watch the speeds.

I have the prob i can always see the bad bits so want to fix them, then i see the things i can make better and they really annoy me till i make them the best they can be...
Thank you very much.

Thank you, the polished wheels did look nice, but just wern't good enough, not showy enough.. Very hard to explain.
And as the turbo is at the front, it would take alot more to get the air pipe and filter to the back of the bay.. Some where at the front will be/is best..
