And was later stripped to death and broke into many peices. Only the engine and seats really survived.
Worst thing is i miss that car! Ah well i suppose the current nova will do! :)

My nova time line!

braught it like this nearly 4 years ago

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/novaold1.jpg

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/oldnovaside1.jpg

when it instantly went into w.i.p mode without even touching the road

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/novaside.jpg

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/00bkcorner.jpg

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/frontcorner.jpg

and then finally about two years later it came out like this

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/finishedfront-1.jpg

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/side.jpg

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/rearcornerside.jpg

[rc]

then about a year later i stripped it all down again for a tidy up resprey, blocked the whole thing down flat,

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/respreyprep2.jpg

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/respreyprep1.jpg

and added this

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/novaengibein.jpg

and these (along with a few other bits and bobs, coilovers, digi dash etc)

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r281/ronniecourt/reardiscs.jpg


and then a couple of weeks ago it ended up in its present state! dead!

[Benn]

rc,
bit ott for my taste,
but love the work and does look good,
love the big ass arches,

[conad]

i love the way the front wings are blended in with the A pillar

[Iain]

i love the way the front wings are blended in with the A pillar

I noticed that too. Pretty trick, although ****s you over if you need the wing off for any reason lol

[conad]

I noticed that too. Pretty trick, although ****s you over if you need the wing off for any reason lol

my thoughts exactly mate, same as when people blend in their bumpers, it looks good.... but why :P

[rc]

my thoughts exactly mate, same as when people blend in their bumpers, it looks good.... but why :P

i agree with the bumpers being a dumb and pointless thing to blend in, but why would you need to take the wings off?

[savs_redtop]

i agree with the bumpers being a dumb and pointless thing to blend in, but why would you need to take the wings off?

because if ya get some old hag let there trolley go in tesco it might just end up bedded in your wing which would then make it easier to change it! just a thought:thumb:
