I actually have lots more but thats more than enough lmfao

[dunova]

Very tidy car you've got there mate, love it. Nice and low now aswell, how are you finding the coilovers? Alloys look immaculate aswell-have you had them refurbed?

[jame5]

Thats a clean nova good job. Whats in it a 2.0litre thats what i called stripped out. needs sr or gte bumpers tho.

James

[ollster]

how many kilo's have you saved by washing the mud of it :wink:

Really though it looks fantastic, the only things i would do to the looks is ditch the color coded grill and put a normal plastic one on, and then clear indicators.

[Riggy]

looks awsome dan ,really really likin it :D

[Col_Mk1]

luking good :D

[Dan]

James look at the sig mate, 2.0 wont ever go near one of my nova's lol and sr/gte bumpers would spoil the car

Ollster the grill is just one of three parts of the gte shell to live on, the other 2 are the door handles lol, as for clear indicators, nah again would spoil what i wanted from the car

Dunova the wheels were powder coated about 4 yrs ago, not a fantastic job but good enough as i only paid 20 quid for all four corners to be done. the coilovers are almost the icing on the cake, just one more trick to do with the front end and the car will be complete

[wisewood]

It looks so normal from the outside. Excellent.

its not until you peek through the windows that you see that there is something seriously "wrong" with it :lol:

[Stuart]

hmmmm i wonder what the other front end mod could be ;)


put a valver in there lmao

it looks nice. have you played about with the coilover settings yet?

[Dan]

Ive had a little dabble stu, but initially got the car somewher near in the beginning, i will let it all bed in first then fine tune it abit more if required.

As wisewood said it looks kinda normal from the outside, its not about modding it to look nice, just subtle enough to draw attention from it and deliver a little suprise. start bolting bits non factory bits on it and you take that away from it. Hence i dont think the clear indicators suit it :P

[Will]

still nice and shineee there ;)

very good stuff

[benji]

dan, the mk2 came with clear indicators so it will not look out of place.
what's next on the list at the front? adjustable tie bar's?

[Chris_W]

Stupid question time: Why doesn't the passenger get a harness? :?

Chris

[General Baxter]

passenger get a harness

well its so his misses can bend over and give him mouth woppie when driving :lol:

[Dan]

:roll: :roll:

I had to keep the seatbelt in the passenger side as the car is an everyday car meaning occasionally i have to take my children out in it where the harness isnt practical.

And benji, it aint a mk2 :wink:

[Adam Moran]

Dont change a thing Dan! I love it.

Almost feel a bit guilty getting rid of the 8v but im sure you know the reason lol

I look forward to seeing it in action in the summer ;-)

Ad

[GT-Dub]

You know my thoughts . . .

8)

[Ian]

it definitely needs a gte bumper on it, dan has no sense of style (orange car lol) so he just needs telling how it is :P

[?Marty?]

That's in excellent condition!!

Also, comments of ''.....needs a/some......'' REALLY piss me off.
















But it needs a crazy 'Jap kit'. I will remove mine and sell it you. I'd even leave it blue. For extra style.

[krobinson]

Car looks really retro Dan :D

I was bored today too, washed and polished mine, then took in a drive 100 yards and back, now one sides covered in mud.. Damn winter :x

Keith

[nova ian]

your nova looks mint, really smart, nice one :D

[Matt Nova]

nice car mate like the interior bet its cold though lol
think your number plates seen better days though :lol:

[Austin_Nova16]

very nice indeed. Just right! Love the guages, just what I need :x

[epo]

nice one dan

how old are your kids
i find a baby seats fits in bucket seats perfectly and the harnesses fastern round it spot on
unless there to old for the baby seat :lol:

[Dan]

lol ones about 17mths old now and other monster is 4 1/2, so even tho harnesses would do for the first for a short while, still no good for the second cos of booster seat and how a harness sits on her (tried it).

[Stuart]

so that means that ian cant have harnesses in his as he needs a booster cushion ;)

[Ian]

at least no life jackets needed in mine ;)

[Ben]

at least no life jackets needed in mine ;)

Just an engine, wheels, suspension, paint etc etc etc
