Finally got round to nagging dougie from tv for the photoshoot pics of my old car G415 MUX (now in the capaable hands of mr peester) bearing in mind they were taken nearly two years ago! Well i thought i'd share a few of my favourites with you all, There's lots more of them but they're mine for keeps.;)

Dave pm me your address and i'll burn you a dvd off and whack it in the post.:thumb:

I loved it when it was in TV, but the wheels didnt suit it IMO & the grille mesh needed to be black.

Small stuff in the grand scheme of things. Lovely example.

I thought the wheels suited it well, how many other cars have you seen with them on, let alone novas. Anyway like you say craig, all irrelevant stuff now! Looking at those pics there's absolutely tons of stuff i'd change, that reason was one of the biggest when it came to making the decision to move on.

Dave the pictures were taken just on the outskirts of cheadle (high shutt For those localers) By gez hughes. They should have been done at a closed for winter alton towers, but that never happened in the end.

I agree the wheels are an unusual choice. Just personal differences of preference tbh.

Must be said you built a minter with fantastic attention to detail. Praise!

Remember it from TV, the only thing that gave me cause for condern was the silver grill mesh. Apart from that it was mint, clean lined and a good choice of engine.

Love your new one too mate, its been making its way around the web!

Thanks keith!
Thanks for the other post too, the insult aimed at the missus was completely unnecessary though. Got some interesting comments however! And since when have 185's been bicycle tyres? Iirc the car that the engine was fitted to originally ran 195/60/15's, and as we all know they're the best performance size ever pmsl! Some people do really need to engage their brains when posting on chat forums.

Its a top example of a nova, some very nice mods on it.

Was the oil cap painted, or metal? As it looks metal.
