let me know what you think good or bad. i hope to have it ready for billing but as im still on a ban im not really in a big rush lol

[cruisingscotland]

looks really nice mate! was thinking about doing aswell sometime,never got round to it yet! good on you for managing it! looks spot on!

[crazychris1234]

cheers mate cant wait to finish it. im doing a calibra next

[cruisingscotland]

calibra pick up? taht would be different! so how did u go about making the back of the pick up in the nova just bugger about with a nova tailgate weld it to the roof and down the sides?

[Ben]

Did you use a astra gte tailgate?

[N0V4TAKA]

it looks like its coming on nicely cant wait to see it finished what colour you having it sprayed

[hendrix]

looks like an astra estate mk2 tailgate

[crazychris1234]

it is a mk2 astra estate tailgate it fits really well welded round the roof and floor then welded plates on the sides cos it wasnt the perfect fit lol
then welded the bottom of the nova tailgate to the back and weld plates over the where the rear beams for the roof were and then quite a bit of filling to smooth it all out its not that far from finishing really its just finding the time to do it

[ANDYRACER]

That look like quite a hard project. Cant wait to see it finished. What engine you putting in it or you keeping the 1.2?

[coxie]

myself and ste_sri are tryin to get hold of a 3 dr saloon to do a pick up cut on .. loving that mate ..

uve done a lovelly job of it .. deff different :D

[Ste L]

and yea what coxie said, been toying with that idea, started out as a hatch, then a 3-door saloon got mentioned, gotta have the hatch arches on it though :D
