very nice mate + rep
I would say she's about 90% there. Got all the windows in, rear bumper, rest of the rear brake lines connected, handbrake cable, lower arms, tie bars, hubs and shafts.
Just needs the wiring tidied up in teh cabin, a set of seats and some front struts! :)
Looks very well done Dan... especially for a track car! However your last effort was all so very well done I had a good luck at trax a few years back before it got broke. I'll look forward to having a look round this one too. :)
Nick.
again thanks for the nice comments, it is coming out better than hoped but it is still a track car and is far from concourse.
Here are a few pics from todays work, pretty much same as yesterday with subtle differences as lee explained.......
First off got a normal windscreen in until i get the heated one, fitted the wiper and got the bonnet fixed properly with the pins etc and finished

Then fitted the rear bumper which sits nicely

another shot of the wheel sat in the arch nicely, shame i didnt go bigger on the tyre but a 225 shod in this type of rubber is more than enough

and one side on shot of the car sat on its stands awaiting the return of the front struts but looking alot more like it is nearly there

nice
Me really likes. Good to see you cracking on with it.
Good work :D
updates have been abit slack lately but the work is still plodding on. Major update pics due in the next week or so as i am aiming to have the car put on its first public display at the national day.
The inside is 99% done now and the externals are of a similar level. The last big part of the puzzle is the stickering which leads me to this........

my new toy, i spent weeks and weeks scouring all known places to find one and it was looking like i would have to mot the car or drive to the ends of the earth to view and buy a trailor. Then i found this brian james trailer within 5 miles of my house at a very good price :D
So early next week i will hitch it up to the landy i built for my boss and get then both home to be stickered up, as the landy will double up as my tow vehicle (bossman thinks its hilarious having my own matching service vehicle :wtf: )
Dude it looks awesome! Huge rear tyre/wheel.
Trailors tasty.
nice trailer you've bought there :thumb:
and what can i say about the car it looks like a top job done very well matey,
Cant wait to see it out on the track
here's a better pic of the landy, as you can see it has a few similar style features as the nova :D

i can see the simularity dan. it has 4 wheels lol
good buy with the trailor thou.
wheels are ubber porn
good work thats lookin nice!
Looking good Nice wheels:thumb:
When's the nova getting a matching bull bar? Could come in handy for ''persuading'' people out of the way on trackdays ;)
tbh that did cross my mind but for pushing lee, would save him being towed off every time he ventures out when he gets a new nova sorted :thumb:
That comment is going to backfire like feck, purely because I have had such an input on this car :)
Huge rod related engine disasters are almost guaranteed :)
Its looking cool :cool:
looking very nice although i think the indicators in bumper has spoiled it..
looking forward to seeing it complete though.
well thats it folks, i have just this afternoon got the car sat back on its wheels, it starts and moves forwards and backwards with ease.
Now just the final niggly jobs to do before tuesday when it goes off to be stickered up.
I have a few good pics to put up of it in all its glory and apart from it being damn dusty and in dire need of a wash, OMFG, to say i am happy is an understatement after all the hours of exploration in bodywork and horrible jobs like that which i know nothing of i think its beyond what i was expecting :thumb: :thumb:
Now after that little spat i have to admit i am still here at work tidying things away so i can wheel it in lol lol lol so the pictures will have to wait until i get home later unless limpy lee or jack gets their pictures uploaded first :D
Sounds good. Whats left to sort?
Can't wait to see it all stickered up - will look wicked
Dave
Dan did you notice the thread in club chat with the png stickers? i think they would be best on your car?

Sorry danielson, my pathetic connection wont even load the photobucket home page, let alone upload pictures :(
ok, well we all know what the bay looks like and the inside is my normal standard (in other words my camera was gay when i took those pics, jack??)
So here is the car in all its glory before the livery goes on. Enjoy ladies :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Im in love. Perfection.
holy **** batman - thats ruddy awesome. looks evil from the rear!
Funk me. That looks awesome. Utter legend.
cheers guys, i was like a dog with 2 dicks once i had it sat properly lol lol lol Thats almost 3 decent builds in my time i can truly say i am happy about :D
The only marmite bit will be the graphics as some will like them due to what the car stands for/will be used for, and some will hate them after seeing those pics.
End of the day they are going on for a reason, as the car will eventually get used for more than just trackdays and the graphics are for part of that reason :thumb:
Holy ****, i havent seen this thread in ages and look what i click into :eek: That look awsome fella. You need to get more pics of it!
