Fook me, thats some project work in that thread!

[Novasport]

I bought some inner wings & chassis legs then I read that, don't think I'll be using them unless absolutely necessary!

[vaughanmc]

Aye you sent me that one Rich, that guys a legend :)

[Novasport]

Like his comment about not jigging it...
'Before the car was started hundreds of mesurements were took on mine and other novas. Suffice to say with a tape and the power of mathmatics the car is very very straight'
:tard:
Better him than me!

[R1CH]

no update for 6 months tho :(

I think its been 'on going' for a fair few years tbh !!
The car used to belong to a local lad about 10 years ago, was a std white J plate GSi, sold on then had a 16v motor dropped in and painted Green, wouldn't supprise me if its been off the road for a good 5 - 6 years.
I don't know the guy who's got it but its in a garage / lock-up in my town, be cool to have a noisey around it sometime.

Oh God thats in a similar state to mine, what fun lies ahead :( lol

I won't be going as far as new chassis legs though so PHEW!

[stark]

Good stuff, shame that progress has halted

[NovaLad]

Brill build!

As said shame no more updates :(

[t45_ste]

part of team muppetsport

One of the other members Nic has a c20let corsa which is going to be knocking on the door of 500bhp this year, it was in TOTB last year, i think they have been busy rebuilding that,

But these guys dont **** about,

[Steve]

saw that on there a while back and I couldnt believe someone would put that much effort into a nova! lol

Not in a bad way but jeez thats alot of work.

[EUROTURBO]

all i can say is... that guys got patients!!!

[ade]

love it!

Although now I'm a bit frightened (and comfoirted) by the task i have of replacing both sills and rear 1/4 panels - although I'm only doing the lower sections of 1/4 not the whole rear!

[craig green]

Mega shell resto for sure.

Think its prolly awaiting paint etc. No doubt its one of those 'in no rush to finish' projects which will surprise you in 2011..

[paddy138]

yeah have been following that one,its nearly like a flat packed nova he bought, front chassis legs look very hard to do

[GDN16v]

front chassis legs look very hard to do

Not so much hard to do, but require lots of patience!:eek:

[Novasport]

One thing that made me cry is he had it shotblasted but then he let the shell go rusty :( There is a pic later in the thread with it covered in surface corrosion:(

[Nick]

Yer sorts it out with some Un-named chemical though..

[clarke frazer]
