just wondering.... currently scoping out what work needs doing on my nova, its not that much really
boot smoothing,
rear quarter repairs (both sides)
front left wing inside skin, the bit in the engine bay
and the front beam thing, dont know what its called but the bit the bonnet release is in, bascally its prett much all rusted.
complete respray
along with doing this i want to;
sound deaden the entire car, especially the boot,
fit tints to the windows,
replace entire seats with calibra leathers,
redo the door cards,
replace the dash,
add kick pannel speaker pods
glass the pillars to contain tweeters
possibly change the dash,
change the lights
add in an ice install, 2 subs, 2 mids, 2 tweeter, 2 amps (without loosing the spare tyre space)
and eventually (after about another year, then i can afford the insurace premium)
replace the engine'
what i really am trying to work out though is......
should wait about a year, save money for build etc, then buy another car (nice and cheap run around thing) and carry out all the work in one go, or....
do i start at the back and work my way to the front doing all the bits i need to do when i can afford them while still running the car?
or, the final option...
run the nova for the year, buying the bits needed when and wear i can afford them, then buy a run around/take car off the road and do all the work.
in peoples experiance which is better/best to do?
