[fearless]

Sorry about the late reply - just returned from a holiday in Florida


I remember seeing this nova at a show last year - could have been in the background at retro car show at santa pod !!!! It wasn't quite finished when I saw it - but the work done upto that date was impressive.

People may comment and say it looks like bretts - but I just think it just copies the whole simple/smooth euro look with no extra spoilers stuck on and in a euro pastel colour !!!

Nowt wrong with that - I'm affraid my own project will look like that one and bretts - no body kits - no metalic paint - just improving what vauxhall created - although with the engine in the wrong place !!!!

And as for the mirrors - I've not made any for about 5/6 years now (Ask Martin Kelson - he's still waiting for some !! (All good things come to those who wait Martin :D ))

I made a few sets all those years ago - so either the ones on the blue nova were 4th or 5th hand or somebody isn't as patient as Martin and made there own !!!!!


You never know - I might start making them again - LOL
