Handbags at the ready lol
Read it right through, got halfway expecting an epic build.
Hats off for your patience in panel collection.
On a side note, the white tailgate you mention you got off Jonny_Ayr came from my old GSi, still kick myself for getting rid of.
Best of luck with it, shall keep an eye on this.
Cheers Archie, I got the wiring loom and doors from johnys car too lol
Finally got my LH full quarter panel, thanks to Jeffrey and niek for there road trip :)
Also still buying bits n bobs for interior etc.
Still have to many things in my way before starting this, my van needs the oil pump replaced ( which a mate is doing for me ) the Audi needs work for its mot and my mates Astra is nearly finished so that's a help.
The delay in starting is a good thing as it means I keep buying more bits for it lol
FFS deffo should of known better before opening the thread lol
f lol edd
Any luck with the van mate?
lollol one of these days you may get a nice surpriseQuote:

Haha, even Jonny kicks himself now for stripping it.
I'll never get another bargain like that car (£80!)
I hate to beg, but if you have any spare interior parts at all you wish to part with drop me a PM.
Mines came with 1 seats, and the dashboard has seen better days sadly.
Cheers
thats the best update on this thread to date lol ^^
i had the cheek to report it as spam, that could also cover the last 10 pages lollollol

Hi there new to site I remember this gsi from paisley area I've owned good few over years had nice burgandy one with gold wheels
Well was nice back lol
Any plans on making a start on it this year bazil?
You mad mate, bazil has his black baby to play with this year lol
David.
Maybe a blue one too lol,
I don't plan on starting the bodywork this year Andy, the wife pointed out to me that if I done all the bodywork I wouldn't have an engine to put in it or any cash left to build the engine lol
So might do the engine, box and turbo this year and enjoy the black one as DC says :)
Am sure kat wouldn't mind doing a few extra shifts to help fund the silver revival this year bud.Quote:

At a rough count I'm needing 2.5k for engine and box to be done then I can store it and recoup my money for the paint.
Having said all that the job I'm doing is under threat just now, my company job is safe but the contract we are in hire to ends in march and a new company takes over the motorways, so they might not use us,
Just means a drop of £150 a week of that happens,
Fcukin iphone typos !!!!!!! N
Never forget a nice nova also seen a white gsi on here belonged to someone in. paisley yeah made impressionQuote:

51 pages, 508 comments , and not an ounce of work has been done lol
By the time Bazil has this done there will be no other Novas around, just bits of them in his collection to help him finally build this. It il worth a fortune though lol
^^^^^^^^^ so very true Kev !!! Only kidding allan mate lol

Can you tell i was bored, read this from scratch again lol
FLOL you need a life mate lol
Basically it has no EGR setup, also has no vacuum fuelling thingy on the end of it, not much of a difference to be honest but I think it would look better than a blanking plate on the e16 one
ah bazil and the scottish crews png meets oootseed his hoos lol

What do you mean by 'vacuum fuelling thingy?' FPR?
Mines had an FSE boost valve so my fuel lines were hacked up etc :( ?
