2 months without a nova.....

[Nobby]

Hey guys as some of you know i broke my track car JNBy before xmas after buying a mk1 escort estate. After deciding the escorts not going to be a 5 minute job i wanted a bit of fun for the summer! So this little beast popped up local and i went and had a look and put a deposit down last night!

Its got a decent spec 1.6 16v conversion, full avo coilovers, sr interior red in rear early grey in front, 2.0 brakes, 6 dial clock single wiper etc etc

has a realy gay paintjob but i like it! The rear lights will be going on ebay, Im going to be on the lookout for a Mk1 SR kit and will do a Sr rep maybe on cesaros will look sweet in my opinion. Gona get some gas on it and have some fun hehe. I needs a weekends work and then its taxed and motd ready to go! should be a fun summer hack!

Do the GTE skirts cover all the mess from removing those arches then? Rot looks nasty on that crossmember!

[dgbnova#1]

Members are nothing to do looks a lot Better than some I've seen but even if it's welded I'd be swooping for a new one
gte kits not gona hide the top of the arch were it's rusty will cover all the front and rear valance though

hopefully mate i haven't actually picked the car up yet lol haha have you seen my escort? that welding is a couple hours work i think cant say yet till i can have a good look.

[Vauxhall-Man-Ash]

Hi mate someone told me on the forum your going back standard on the rear lights, I have some standard lights here if you fancy a swap or some clear rears I'd be happy enough to also straight swap :)

[Vauxhall-Man-Ash]

Also I'd be interested in the rear bumper too?? Have a GTE rear bumper here with the lower valance if interested????

2nd is ace, grey bumpers with the flip would look cool as.
