Pedals that came on the car (we'll soon find out if they're easier or not compared to standard pedals lol)

Fuel tank (designed for a mini, stainless not aluminum, but it does say BUDGET lol, I swapped it for a MPi fuel pump with a mate)

So they end up like this... (with some 25mm box along the tops)

Need to get a battery box and move it here:

Still got to fit battery cut off switch, 32mm restrictor plate, get a seat etc etc, but the cage is the next big job. I've already made/cut most of it, so it just a case of welding it all together in place, and painting of course.

It already has -40mm springs and uprated shocks which is good, but I'll be swapping the delco brakes for some later ATE ones.

Need to get the wings cut for more clearance, although I run saloon wings on my class 6 OK and that has bigger wheels, decisions decisions lol

Some updates from today. Seat is sorted but only rested in place in picture, hence the slant! Also fitted a smaller steering wheel:

I've cut the windscreen mesh out, I'm gonna paint it tomorrow then weld it on. Think I'll go with bottlethroddy's on the colour, black it is!

been working alot so haven't made much progress until this week, but it now has a 1.3 engine and a gearbox ready to go in, the windscreen mesh is in and painted black, will take some pics in the next few days and upload them :)

Looking good! Whats the regs in regards to chopping out the spare wheel well?

Yellow cage stands out well lol

don't think you can remove it, but you can 'modify' (that's autograss speak for butcher) it to house the silencer providing it's extended to the rear.

Thanks, pretty chuffed with how the cage looks :)

It works well with the gold alloys, and once it's got it's numbers it should look pretty mean lol

Picked up some 2nd hand Vauxhall masterfit overalls for ?2.50 at a show so she'll look the biz (almost lol)

good stuff. glad to see someone else is grasstracking/autotesting there nova.

i do autotests and autocross in my nova.. look at my project thread. i could do with a cage.
