I see you have extended the beam up around where the stub axel bolts - I take it this is to give more suspension travel but a low look from the outside???

hello, it was done to the car before i bought it so not really sure what the reasoning behind it was, probably to lower a bit more but in saying that, it doesn't sit that low on the old coilover setup (non-adjustable ones.)Quote:

beam pretty much assembled now and will fire it back on the car later today. plan to have it on its wheels tonight and providing its good weather we'll get it wheeled out tomorrow to fit rear windows and build up the tailgate and doors...
not really been into red calipers on nova's, probably because all the chav's done it to death back in the day but with the brembo's being red they got a quick blast.

I remember stevie doing the rear axle on the nova like that cause he was trying to stop the front wheels spining so much.
The way he looked at it at the time the rear was dipping which was lifting weight of the front of the car. So he did the rear beam like that and ran rear nova towing springs so it didnt drop as much but still looked lowered at the same time..
It was back in 1995 or something so may not have had much options at the time
made a lot of good progress this weekend, got the rear beam assembled with brakes etc, brakes all bled up, gear linkage fine tuned and today we got the doors quarters and tailgate all waxed up and started building up the doors and windows, they're all inplace now except the windscreen which will hopefully be done this week. should have the internal wiring tidyed up and the carpets down with dynamat etc also this week and might even get the leather recaro's in this weekend!...

don't have many pics but here are some halfway through! rear speedlines are still away getting painted and i'm not sure about the rear lights, opinions please! i was thinking of perhaps painting the red surrounds gloss black to look more factory?
I'd opt for twin fog lights if it was my car :)
Looks nice all the same
I like the lights the way they are, think they should look better once everything is back together.
Actually i wish id never gave you them lol the more i look at them on it the better it looks.
