Sorry if the pictures are a bit big if someone could pm me or link me how to make them smaller using image shack i would be very grateful.

My W.I.P thread has been remade mainly because of the amount of flaming etc on the old one. i would first like to say am sorry and would like to put a stop to all this.
second if a kind admin could get ride of the old one it would be most grateful.

My plans are so far
A Mono block amp for my sub.
A parcel shelf so no-one can see it.
A decent alarm.
New front and rear seats (god i hate seat covers!)
gsi front bumper with front and rear gm sport mudflaps.
resprayed in black or scobby blue ;)
archs weilded up and any rust removed
a nice exhaust back box.
Bigger engine when insurance allows of course

Post away and feedback but please keep flaming to a min. if you dont like something explain why (about the car) your allowed to express you views on the car :)

thanks for taking the time to read my thread. Enjoy.

Nat.

Lol i noticed that you had made a 2nd WIP and thought WTF!...

Anyway - good luck with it, your arches are worse than what mine were but they should clean up ok. (or just replace them if you do get a respray!)

Love the colour of ya car maby give it a polish and clean up the WHITE STAINS on the bumpers!

The sub you have looks decent wouldn't mind 1 of thoughs myself, just make sure you def get an alarm fitted as Novas usually get stolen.

As for the stuff you want to do here is what i think.

**IN YOUR WORDS**
My plans are so far:-
A Mono block amp for my sub - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
A parcel shelf so no-one can see it. - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
A decent alarm. - GOOD IDEA.
New front and rear seats (god i hate seat covers!) - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
gsi front bumper with front and rear gm sport mudflaps. - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
resprayed in black or scobby blue - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
archs weilded up and any rust removed - GOOD IDEA
a nice exhaust back box. - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
Bigger engine when insurance allows of course - YOU HAVE JUST PASSED WAIT A YEAR TILL YOU GET USED TO THE CAR. THAT'S IF YOU HAVN'T WRITTEN IT OFF IN A YEAR.

p.s i'm not, and i quote "flaming you", i am just giving you my opinion on the best way to tackle your car. Start with fixing up the body work that could save your life in a crash.

Keep up the work and update with pics... GOOD LUCK.

Hi mate looking good keep it up.
If you still got your wheel trims (the five spoke white one's) and want shot of them let me know as need a new white set for my trailer as lost 1 on the way back from combe.

thanks for the advice bud, i wouldnt quote that as flaming just expressing your view on my car thanks :)

p.s i got some 40mm suspension kit in the shed waiting for a sunny day to fit them. ;)

Got any front shocks going spare lol ???

you after standard ones bro?

Don't know... Do i need to change my front shocks when i put my GMAX springs on?

if its just the springs they can go on normal standard shocks. or u can get uprated shocks with uprated springs :)
