cheers for the responses guys, i know it looks pretty much standard at the moment, but i have been concentrating on the interior more than anything.

[Jack]

Consider that the interior is the part of the car you'll be using the most, so its a good place to start :wink:

[Adam]

Looks nice mate.
Be interesting to see how it will look with a mk2 front end, never seen a modded nova in that colour before.
Keep up the work :D

[Mike.]

Thats exactly why the GSi interior had to be the first thing done - the interior was originally all brown, including the horrible mk1 dashboard :o

I am basically going to get it looking somewhat like Nicks, but with a bigmouth GSi bumper. Am considering a respray in either metallic red or a flat red of some sort, depending on what quotes i get.
