View Full Version : Rush job big styleeeeeeeeee
The MKmeet is upon us, however, my nova failed, yes failed its MOT!
Copias amounts of welding need doing as well as slam panel thats about as sturdy as a paper ferris wheel!
So, it looks as if shes not coming to MK as it'll be having a new front end fitted! as well as a fuel tank, rear suspension mounts, fit my buckets more securly! Amongst other minor things.
Once that gets done, its gas flowed heas time, T40 setup on, and a lairy cam! A a huge vent to feed the ridiclious sized irmscher air box! Yeah 8)
Oh, and a set of wheels that fit! ET38 doesnt do your tracking any favours!
Have no fear, ill be there in my mates car though, a GSi engined SRi! Wahooooooo!

Um its ok. Not sure how it was last time i was on here?!
Got some wheels in the garage that im waiting to get sprayed up, off of a newer astra. Front coilovers and rear gas shocks waiting to go on. Upgraded all the speakers, got a sub and just need to find a compatible amp(and money!)
Hopefully getting the front brakes sorted soon as well. Need to buy some new rubber as well. but that can wait as the car isnt really that active yet...
Thats about it really...

just stick at it lad 8)
Right got qoute today. new tank ?35+ Vat, recon steering rack ?45+ vat and an entire front end (slam panel + lower valance in one) ?55 + vat
The chap at the boyshop reckons with all the welding not much change out of ?900 and 1-2 weeks work! Oh an the boot floor needs welding, but i may just remove the psare wheel well?
Fitting and setup of the Webers are gonna have to wait then. Bugger :cry:
hhhhm??? But it would be the mintest shell then as its go for a respray after that.
So looks like its hire car time (a nice new corsa i think??) and plenty of overtime at work!
Anyone fancy lending me a grand?? Please? :lol:
