You'll be in dykebar before the end of the month lol

Fair play for getting back into a nova.

That looks a good base to start from. Wheels look good etc.
Re' the Recaro's, I'd be inclined to keep them unless they have been fitted so you have no head room. Std Vauxhall seats rattle too much for my liking.

I think in all the time I've owned Novas I know of 6 or 7 that have had those wheels on, 4 of them being my own! As I say, its something a little bit different to the Normal. In fact it looks a little bit too much like my old GSi although it did have a mk1 front end on it.

Ramps look awesome! You can fit a set of V6 286mm discs and calipers with those wheels too. it is close though!
