[Adz The Rat]

[EUROTURBO]

the car your talkng about is mine lol, got it as craig said a little while ago and just ripped it appart and had the whole lot reknewed, underneath it had alot of rust all sorted now, slammed to the floor with a 7.5ltr intercooler mounted on the front bumper. looks amazing, when i can et some pics up i will but if you look on corsa sport there are lots under "project sihtbox" (yea i know lol) in the builds n projects section, im hoping to feature it soon and will be contacing total vauxhall in the comming month... but until then i have strictly told lee mitchell from "LM Styling" not to say a word or post any new pics until its painted and finished....

picture this though....-90mm, 16" borbet A wheels, gte vented bonnet, smooth tailgate, smooth gsi bumpers all round with custom inserts in front one, full gsi interior with corsa b gsi seats retrimed in black and white leather, xenon HID conversion and an in car greedy boost controller plus all the rest of the fun and toys... lol

[NovaLad]

Are the 16" borbet A wheels the deep dish ones?

try this link lads....

[tom_beverley]

Are they just usual fibreglass wide arches, they look a bit wider than normal? Also the front wings have a propper return to fix the front bumper to whereas all the ones I've seen the wing ends at the bumper line.

Car looks very cool :thumb: , definatelty made my mind up to go without skirts.

[EUROTURBO]

i think they have just been bonded to the car very well...

So fingers crossed for a 2008 feature... im hopin it shouldn be too much of a problem....

[BenNova]

good work keep it up, will keep an eye out for a finished thread.

[L33 LEG]

its an LM special edition nova now iirc

[EUROTURBO]

lol, yea thats bout rite lol

[ashjones]

soundsgood im good mates with the lad that had it n alls it needeed was a decent engine.i thought it would be quite rotten tho it had gone below the drivers window inside which ive neva seen before. hope it all goes well puttin it back together

[EUROTURBO]

all the rot is now sorted n hopefully should be goin to get painted in thenew year and then its roll on pv08 and a feature....lol

[Steve]

Got any recent pics as it is now? sounds good though, will keep a look out for the feature in the new year.

[EUROTURBO]

i have but because i have some new company laptop it has so much security on it i cant upload them but as soon as i can i will.

[Adz The Rat]

Cant wait to see this finished.
Just put a post on our local site for Brett to see, bet he will kick himself for selling it

[euro sbd]

the company that supplied these arches are magnum motorsport i spoke to them last week and they know the car very well

[125scouse]

the arches are from magnum motorsport them arches on bretts car originally came off a LET nova with 17 inch mistrals

[elgan]

any pics of said wide let nova on the mistrals?

[EUROTURBO]

lol so the arches are doin a whole circle then from let to 1.0 back to let again lol....

nice to see there is some genuine history with the car and no hidden scars..... gulp...please dont tell me any if there is lol.

[dhdev (Oli)]

The front arches on mine are the same, they're massive. A lot of work must've gone into them to get the finish as good as they are on this nova tho!

[andyrs1800]

brett bought the car as a standard 1.0, He had all the arches fitted and also bought the wheels, I'm glad he didnt put the skirts on, it looks miles better without, it was just missing a grey gsi bumper and laguna splitter in my eyes,

it would be great to see this car done but i cant see any pics ever being put online?

[EUROTURBO]

trust me once its done there will be loads of pics and yes there will be a GSI bumper with a laguna splitter so your dream will come true...

[125scouse]

how where the back inner arches? haha

bodged to death.

no pics of the let nova they come off, it was YEARS ago my mate had it for his 1st car jsut after he passed his test, lol

[EUROTURBO]

no to be honest, they have all been taken back then fibreglassed along from the metal original panel to meet with the extention of the fibreglass arches, then they have been soundproofed for protection and to stop the vibration.

[The Shed]

nice like that

[EUROTURBO]

thats y i bought it because it was a good example of a one off shell.

[andyrs1800]

trust me once its done there will be loads of pics and yes there will be a GSI bumper with a laguna splitter so your dream will come true...

Good Good :thumb:

[EUROTURBO]

OMG got so much done on this over the xmas break, its almost alive again....lol

[Steve]

Err... any more info?!

[scott.parker]

Yeah stop being gay just post the progress pics up. lol

[C7LJN]
