Cheers to Ernie for this one :D Much appreciated fella
Finally some pics of another wee update!
Tracked down a red Nova Antibes carpet on the PNG, a couple of PM's and texts later it was mines for a really good price
No pics of the WIP stages but some of it fitted - Will need to give it a clean/hoover at the weekend and clean up the mats as well:

Cheers, Vaughan
i think it would look awsome with red SR interior! :D
looks smart
Going to try and get a black GSi dash or paint the original one and make it a full on black and red mix
The grey kills it a wee bit - Looks good though :)
Cheers for the comments
Paint the original,2 tins of halfords black flexible vinyl paint and it looks brilliant.Ive just done mine.No way was i paying what people are asking for a genuine one.2 tins=£20.Will look really nice with that carpet
Red carpet looks goos. Black dash would finish it off.
looks nice but i would of thought that it would get mucky really easy?nothing a set of mats wont sort out though!was it easy enough to fit?
have you got your cheque off tv yet?lol
Old carpet out - Make a slice in the Red carpet for the bolt at the bottom of the Mk2 dash and in it went - Also had to make a wee cut for the 60/40 seat bracket - Simple enough though :)
Got a brand new set of rubber Nova mats for it that I picked up for a bargain - There in now!
And no, no cheque from TV yet lol - Dave (xxx_Nova_xxx) is still waiting on his from last year as well ;)
I am pretty sure you just get a £25 voucher, was talking to Dougie from TV about this during the photoshoot. PM Lynz and ask her to ask Dougie or email TV direct: totalvauxhall@futurenet.co.ukQuote:

Shaun - I'll email them later on about it, not too fussed about the money though tbh - Least it got in the magazine :)
I'm liking the Antibes carpet :thumb: Not sure it suits the GSI interior though, it looks out of place imo. Maybe will suit better when you get a black dash in.
Keep up the good work thou :)
That looks sweet mate also looks much cleaner than when it left mine.
lol Haven't even hoovered it yet
Been too much happening with school work etc - I'll do it at the weekend
Black dash might be on the cards next year
Painting? Get it flocked ;)Quote:

For the love all all things Nova - please dont 2 tone your dash with red bits! That's really old and IMO tacky.
Stain the grey dash with black vynil paint (needs a couple of coats) - make sure you degrease it thoroughly 1st though otherwise it'll fail and leave it at that. Red plastic bits is just wrong IMO.
You planning on matching the door cards?
Those alloys suit it a treat:)
Red carpet takes me back had one in my GSI back in the day, would look better with a GSI dash.
Dash would be done fully black like a GSi Ade :)
Might need your assistance for the taking out of the original and re-fit of the newly painted one
Everything else in the car is from a GSi - Rear 1/4 panels, parcel shelf supports etc
car turned out really nice mate and shows the work you have put into it! really liking that back spoiler lol suits the car very nicely keep up the good work fella
Cheers fella, positive comments make it all seem worth while
Possibly take a drive up your end soon with these doors and u can have a wee look
The doors are the only thing letting it down at the moment really...
Picked up some new alloys the other night, no idea why I wanted these but I did lol
4 Nova 3 spoke alloys - 2 are 5J and 2 are 4.5J, but I have one spare in the garage which is a 5J also
Going to pick out the tidiest 4 and put them on the car when I have money for tyres
That means the Grey alloys are up Forsale if anyone's interested in them - PM me and theres a set of 4 clean and tidy Astra Sport steelies as well Forsale if anyone's interested...
Now, the wheels:

Next update should hopefully be painted doors
Cheers, Vaughan
Why the swap mate? the astra wheels suit your car well IMO
No idea really, wanted a wee change
No doubt these will be on for a couple of months and there will be another set put on it
8th set of wheels I've had on it and I'm no even 17 yet...
Wheels are looking good :thumb:
The grey ones did look good thought :)
Set of SR steelies :thumb: I wonder who has them forsale? :roll: lolQuote:

i agree with adam though, astra wheels suited your nova very well..
Grey wheels are now sold - Might do another set in the future
I'll put the 3 spokes on as it will be awsome looking :)
SR steelies could be an option though as well
Gte 3 spoke rims in gun grey would look good i reckon. Shame you cant get decent brakes under them easily
I really like them in silver but I may alter the colour once I've had them on for a while
Would do them another shade of grey as well :)
How many sets of wheels has this car seen now vaughan?? lolQuote:

How many did Nick Caro have on his Nova through the years ?
That has to be a record for a guy who doesn't have a licence!lolQuote:

lol Once I pass my test and need to pay for petrol/insurance etc it will all stop
But its only a bit of fun atm - Might get another set of those and do them the same way Shaun O'Donnell has done them on the saloon :)
Havnt checked back on this in ages ! Looking very good mate, fair play you have put alot of work into this. So just got to sort out the new doors and paint your dash then hey, get it out over the crimbo holidays, will give you something to do and it'll look so much better. Dont know why you wanna put those 3 spokes on tho ? awful things at the time and even worse now ! get some nice 5 spokes on there. Best of luck anyhow.
Hopefully the doors will be painted whilst I'm off on my x-mas holidays
Which means I can get them filled with Waxoyl and then put back on and built back up :)
That will be another thing ticked off the list - I'll do the dash next year if I get round to it...
very impressive, like i've said before :)
Cheers fella :)
Can't wait to see it on these wheels
