Hi guys, new to all this and not the best with a computer so bare with me and I'll try keep it up dated...

So to start of this is my 1st ever build and where better to start than with a nova GTE
bought the car a few months back and not really had time to do anything with it till lately. The plan is to strip it right back down to the bare shell and start a fresh. I'am going to try and replace all the parts to new (suspension brakes exhaust ect ect) and keep it completely standard right down to the original radio the only thing I plan on is poly bushes and little things like that to keep it standard but better so it will last a lot longer.

Any help, comments, point in the right direction where I may be going wrong or where you've done it in the past and then found a better/easier way would be more than welcome.

I know ye, the guy who I bought it off had owned it for 12 years or so and it was his 1st boy racer car so thought it was a good idea to smooth the boot, then it sat on his mums drive and rotted for around 9 of those years
