1.6 16v Nova

Its looking good mate, although I don't like clear rear lights they kinda suit the colour. Personally I'd still have standard or euro reverse/fog but its not my car. Good work mate :thumb:

I don't know wether i like the lights either to be honest. I thought that yesterday but they do go with white but the car's being built for the Mrs so its her choice i did just mention the window surrounds but she likes it as it is.

Are you still breaking a GSI? i need the plastic bits that fasten the mirrors to the doors if you have any?

Yeah it does look good mate, this is the first car I've seen with clear rears that I haven't instantly though "doesn't suit" as its kinda does.

Edit: GSi bits, err, I have some mirrors here so yeah I have them bits.

If your willing to sell could you sort me a price posted? The car used to have DTM mirrors which are horrid so i bought some GSI ones but they don't come with the plastic mouldings to fasten them to the car!

looking amazing mate keep up the good work

Looks like a really good project mate. Like it alot!

New tyres arrived yesterday opted for Uniroyal Rainsport 2's 195/45/15. Heard good things from these, has anyone had any first hand experience?

Also Its the big day today and should see it looking more like a car.

The engine is fully rebuilt now and engine mounts attached. It should be in the car by this afternoon and the new brakes should be on the car tonite.

Well engine is now in. Didn't mange to get the brakes done in the end as we spend a hour trying to get the engine streight and it turned out it was just a optical illusion,

Sadly i need to have something made up for the throttle body as the TPS was hitting the inner stut turret!!!!!

Looks good, The engines don't necessarily look straight/level, I had a similar comment when I fitted my baby xe.

Shame about the TB, What you going to do about it?

I know. The throttle body side of the engine looked closer to the front panel than the other end but after a bit of head scratching etc the tape measure came out and unbelievably it measured 8 inches from the inside of the front panel to the centre of the spark plug both sides of the engine so panic over.

As for the throttle body. I need 2 flanges and a piece of pipe in the middle welding together, I don’t really want to cut the inlet manifold up!
