Well ive finally decided after 2years of owning my nova to crack on with it, so i began by converting a barn into a unit/workshop so i can do as much work on it at night and during the cold weather.;) I wont go in to detail about the project because il do a W.I.P. at a later date! Ow yeah and the black nova isint the one im doin im gonna sell that on at a later date!
Heres a few pics.... (poor camera)

It had cobles down which were a bit uneven to say the least,lol plus it cant be concreted due to being a listed building.


















Plus Materials cost me 1/10 of what concrete would of!!!
