All I can say is class day!

After feeling a bit pissed off that England got knocked out, mosied on down to local scrappy on the scrounge and came away with some total bargins -

been after darker carpets for me nova to go with me new trim but been unable to find any anywhere then this gem of a nova (wrecked) comes in with everything I need - full minted dark carpets, black door sill trims, those little bits that cover the seat mechanisms that always get busted, minted mk2 headrests and this little bit that clips onto the seatbelt to stop it chaffing yer neck! Also managed to get a set of dials from a mk2 1.2 to use as templates for me new dash
And all for ?10! yep ?10
Then that evening me m8 flogged me a set of minted 15" 5 spokes with 3 perfect rubbers for only ?100! Need to roll me arches coz theyre 195's but I wasnae complaining.
It even stopped raining - for a few hours!

It would have been the perfect end to the week...had I not been working this weekend! :evil:

Oh well - cannae complain!

I'm sure it was a fling I got them from. Had an old shaped dash.

I've just redesigned me dash dials rather than pay ?35 for a premade set.

Look dead smart just dunno what style of type font to use for the numbers!

Regardless makes the standard mk2 1.2 dash look much better - not as fancy as the SR dash (coz alot less dials) but still alot better!

And when back lit by some ultra bright led's from me local Maplins, will look the business!
