Reconsie that AFM from somewhere...
-
i was thinking that. that bumpers got 2 dents either side of the number plate to.. and yeh got the idea for the afm off someones avatar on here.think it was "last of the nova sr's".lol
-
I was expecting this to be the black GTE with a grp a engine lol That looks like a very clean shell, and a lovely example of a laser blue gte. :thumb: I'd love one myself but they don't often crop up for sale :(
-
it used to be laser blue (well white before it was laser blue) but know its subaru sonic blue..
-
-
-

-

-
took a day off work so i could get more done to the old nova.
fitted my new dials.(thanks matt2107) which i bought some blue leds for.think they look quite nice.
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...8/DSC00961.jpg
after i got them in i gave it a hoover so i could get the front seats in.
bought them off matt2107(thanks again)they look absolutely mint inside the car.
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...8/DSC00962.jpg
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...8/DSC00963.jpg
carpeted my rear bulkhead.need to do the lower panel but waiting on my harnesses so i can cut the holes to were they bolt to.
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...8/DSC00965.jpg
received my new decals for my cage as i removed them so i could paint it.
think the red and green gave some type of compliment.
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...8/DSC00969.jpg
still wanting a smoothed gte front bumper but as time is getting on i dont think i will get one intime for when i plan to use the car.due to cost of rebuilding the engine.etc.i thought it be best to put my old one back on.so it looks half decent.
if any one has a cheap one or standard gte/sr bumper please pm me.

Hi mate

looks cool
great wheels, "just bought same ones"
keep up the hard work :thumb:
-
a good polish and sheel be looking mint very nice m8 just wish i had nice little garage to do some work might be soon i hope?:thumb:
-
Dials look superb with blue led's mate... and the seats.... i miss them. lol
I'm sure you've sat on them by now but the leather seems to stiffen them up a bit. They are the most comfy seats I've sat on next to my FTO seats.
-
i have a smoothed SR/GTE bumper in my shed, make me an offer if you want
car looks spot-on
-
pm'd draper!! yeh them seats are great matt.cant wait to drive the car.the engines still not back together yet.
only got 55 days to get it all finished.money is slowing me down at the moment. trying to save to go the manx rally aswell but the cars more important.haha
got some harnesses off ebay coming so interiors nearly finished.just got to concentatre on the motor now.
-
back again.got a fair bit done now.majority is all complete.
received my harnesses.were a bit grubby but cleaned them up.had to wait a couple days for my eye bolts to come but there all bolted down.
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...8/DSC00999.jpg
ive carpeted all the rear bulkhead and lower panel were the harnesses go through.kinda hard to get a pic of it but ill try get one soon.

got my manifold fitted today,just got to connect it to the rest of the system.got to modify part of the systm due to it hitting on the gear change linkage housing.
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...8/DSC01012.jpg
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...8/DSC01013.jpg
pickd up my clutch today so got that to fit.sending my cam off to autosprint tomorrow to be re-profiled so hopefully early next week i mite have it running and moving.....about time too!!lol
-
Nice, I've followed this but only commenting now.
Red hoses for definite, blue might just be overkill.
-
i thought that too.but glad someone else agrees.cheers chap.
-
looking good bruce, love that interior.
-
thanks,hows yours coming along?
-
been lyin on my back for the majority of the day.managed to get the clutch in. so went inside the car to see what it felt like....utter sxxt.
so further inspection went down.cable was to blame.got one ordered up.fitted that and now its like butter!!!
so thought id re-fill the gearbox. searched my work hi and low but we didnt have the grade i needed.got my boss to order some up and let me use it for free.very nice of him..
then decided to fit my strut brace.re-painted the strut top mounts on it.
still not sure if i should leave the bar the standard colour or re-spray it..
heres some pics.
