There will be a touch of rust on the body but nothing a bit o work after PV wont fix :D

[Adam]

My rear arches are to**
And the bays not looking its tidiest

Oh well
Im more bothered in beating my 1/4mile pb lol lol

[Welsh Dan]

I've probably got a place in the "top 5 worst rear arches", my front end is heavily stonechipped, and I havent cleaned the interior this year.

[Nobby]

haha mine has a ****ed back panel, rust split on the inner wing and more rust than a 10bob nail = my car is a nail but shes still going! (reshell in august lol)

[General Baxter]

[Dar]

Mines got loads of things wrong with it. But the main one is getting the bastid on and off of the trailer.

[General Baxter]

[Ash]

Ummm the run to PV will be the first run for my car, so it's unknown atm lol

I did crumple the front panel in the other day putting it on a trailer :d'oh: but I think it adds to the hardcore track look :roll: lol Also have a sizeable dent in the rear quarter but not too bothered about that.

[ade]

I'm picking up my new car tomorrow and the engines recently been rebuilt so god knows what a good run will do!

I need 2 new mk1 front wings and the rear arches are starting to go - other than that I'm hoping I'll be okay...

[twistysnovagte]

yeah baxter i have a tow rope in the boot no probslol
as for the state of my car i have a badly dented passenger side wing(hit by another car) rust to both drivers side door and wing a few deep scratches on the pass side rear arch, rust bubbling on the other arch and very minor dents here and there.

[Rexy]

[Ash]

You mean indepent rear suspension lol

[ck]

LOL @ independant rear suspension :D

u lot dont have to be harsh going on about rust n that, just say u got a RAT look nova and thats its supposed to be like that.....

[bigbened]

if i could get mine there id win the rat look by far.

somehow i dont think it will get there judging by the fact its got no seats/brakes/doors/anythink it needs to be road worthy so i will have to come in either the rene or the vdub. im going to have to sneak in not to be seen i think

[spanishfly]

Mine needs the rear painting after the turrets. Tracking done, nitrous filled, nut and bolt check, rear arch lip skimmed back a bit... sure there's more, got a day off friday, i'll be busy I reckon!

[nathan.]

I'm waiting for some front suspension to arrive :(
And i've got a split CV boot :(

[KITT1972]

I have got a small oil leak and the sound system to finish off

[General Baxter]

lol mine will have that and some filler on other arch and sill i think i win :D

[wilson_sri]

Only problem il be taking is the person driving it! lol

[General Baxter]

mine now has no head lol

[craig green]

My interior is likely to be a full on state me thinks.

[tom_beverley]

A few minor dents and if I can't find a 1.4SR ignition loom the puny 1.0l powerplant lol

I'm contemplating whether to call out a dent repairer just so its pretty much immaculate and original!

[craig green]

I've just been for a test drive & the brakes barely work!

Thinking it needs anotrher master cylinder & possibly servo, it hisses when you press the pedal everytime.

[Saloony]

Hmmm whats wrong with mine..... its doesnt have tax at the moment. Its been out for a jolly and all is well, well apart from the bloody top mounts that knock if i run over a grain of rice, ****ing annoying, but i have put in place a stereo 4 speakers and a 12"sub to drown that out thank god.

[General Baxter]

i win

[Rich]

[Ash]

I've just removed my dash and cut everything out of it of use. Should be fun lol

[Mr.B]

My interior is likely to be a full on state me thinks.

what you interior you got?

(ad4mb1nns from mig)

[Mushy]

Scabby lil arch and bottom door, Gay interior, cracked front bumper and for some reason my brakes feel really crap when theyve just been changed and re-bled fresh fluid !

Nevermind im sure by 6pm saturday night walking about with a fosters alot more over novas can take my mind off from mine

[Mushy]

Same here fella, But mine sounds like air-lock.

My GTE brakes are running on a 1.2 servo, think that might have something to do with it.

[Ernie]

My main issue will be fuel for the vectra to get there lol.

[Jack]

Ummm the run to PV will be the first run for my car, so it's unknown atm lol
I have RAC, I fear I may need that for most of us lol

I have exhaust (tuesday), MOT (thursday) then tax (thursday, if it passes the MOT).

Friday - fit seats, fit alarm, fit audio, finish central locking, fit proper front end and wire up all the lights and indicators... plus whatever else needs doing that I'm trying not to think of right now.
