looks really nice. why the rebuild?

[kevo16v]

It didn't need a full re-build but why do things by the half. It had started to get a bit tatty in places, Stone chips on the front end, inner rear arches are completely shot & outter rears were starting to go again. Its been painted that colour for almost 4 years now & just fancied a change. Luckly my cousin has got connections in House Of Kolor so i've had the paint sorted through them. Having custom arches made so i can fit a set of 18" RSGTs. Didnt want to stray too far from standard so no stupid kits for me. As for the engine not too sure where to go with it, idealy i would like a LET but my budget is stretched enough as it is so will morethan likely stick with the xe.

dont want to stray too far from standard... and fit a set of 18's dont go well together lol

[kevo16v]

I meant im not putting any park bench style bumpers / over sized spoilers / or gay sideskirts . The bodywork (apart from the slightly wider arches) will be as it should be, untouched. As for the wheels..... you've got me there..... they may be a bit ott but should look sweet.

[wisewood]

18's are just too big. it'll look like a bus/tractor lol

[Ste L]

why have wheels that huge...

personally, wont look that good, and the car wil handle like a bag of ****

just my opinion :thumb:

[kevo16v]

Maybe, Won't no till i get em on though. Wouldn't have thought so, 19s look a bit on the monster truck side. Have faith.

[Marc]

would have to agree big wheels not a true beleive on a standard car i mean 17's a bit of a push but 18's your just nuts lol

look smart tho mate :thumb:

[kevo16v]

Worth a go me thinks! lol Got a set of 16s kicking about for runs up @ pod, Will mainly have the 18s for shows & stuff like that.

[Adam]

16s are plenty big enough on a nova.

Those pics are before the rebuild?
It looked in great condition before,Lol.

[kevo16v]

Yeah pics were taken last summer before it was dismantled. It wasn't really that bad bodywork wise, a few scabs here & there, underneath was the worst bit slight platage was needed. Nothing a few hours with the wealder didn't fix.

[martweaver]

Looked very tidy to start with mate - whats the new colour going to be?
