Lets hope he can work on it longer than 1 day so you can get it finished before you go back to work. :d

all of a sudden i've decided to fit a heated front screen to my Nova, no wonder its not finished yet as i keep moving the goal posts

anyhows Guin gave me a hand finishing off my dash trim before i send it off to get the Carbon fibre treatment, just need to put a new hole in for the Alarm LED

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00636.jpg

and as reward tret him to fish and chips, mmmmmmmmmmm

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00637.jpg

Guin your my hero lol

So you've decide on the front screen after all lol Have you decided on heated seats as well?

Don't over do the carbon as you'll end up a halfords castoff lol

not enough room for heated seat switches nor do i have the right seatslol

dont wory it will look good not halfords

Sorry i forgot to txt you my number, what's up?

just a few boring updates, its getting there honest

Fitted these door pin switches from a MK4 Astra, GM part yet waterproof

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00666.jpg

Lights on Buzzer has been wired in

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00665.jpg

as you can see i now have a front fog lamp loom(green one), but the heated screen loom is yet to go in

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00664.jpg

Sorted out the loom for the vanity mirror sun visors, and they have been wired to only illuminate when the side lights are on

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00667.jpg

this has been sourced from a corsa C and will be fitted in the rear of my Nova


http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00668.jpg



got this for free gratis which will be an addition for my eventual false floor
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00669.jpg

George pig and his trike have made an appearence

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00672.jpg

whilst all this was occuring, guin was busy treating himself

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00654.jpg

Neat little touches dude, how comes youve wired the visors only to work with sidelights though, so they only illuminate at night?


Guins snack looks nice, i wants some lol

george pig ftw!

yes dude, you only need light when its dark so i had him wire it that way

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00671.jpg

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/DSC00670.jpg

Here is proof that the Cruise control is fitted and will work, i just need to fashion a bracket for the clutch switch.

and when its all in and working correctly the heat shield/mounting cover will get chromed

other little details include

the heater control and main light switch illumination have been wired so they only come on with the side lights

and the front fog switch has also been wired to the ignition live so i can have the fogs on without any other lights, ive done this as they are actually DRL (day running lights) so i can have them on on there own just like you see on all these modern Audi's etc and the new Vaux Insignia

finally as i will no longer fit these sexy polished switch stalks

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1401/007-1.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...g?t=1255378195

im going to fit this Omega stalk and have variable speed setting on the front intermitent wipe, this stalk will also finda match the cruise control stalk

This was dropped off at the bodyshop today and is going to be painted the same as the car exterior (colour coded)

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...ie1401/014.jpg

Just ordered a top quality custom fit outdoor breathable car cover from specialisedcarcovers

i already have one for my Evo 6 and they are the dogs danglers

also im sick of all the dust and **** from next doors chimney all over my freshly painted Nova

looking good mate :thumb: will be a first to see a nova with crusie control,and does this mean your shiney stalks are for sale ;)

Updates are looking good mate :)

How far off are you from getting it all put back together then? Looks like the wiring is far from being finished.

GUIN your gready, you didn't save me any lol
