I dont think i could keep it standard forever, it would bore me and the digi dash may be going at some point as it has kinda lost its appeal to me.
fair play bout having the modding bug, i kinda felt the same with my old Gsi (was totally original, so pretty much left it as it was) but i couldnt do it; to 'ruin' a nice example..
So im now doing it to a 1.2; where it doesnt matter then.
Well yeah that is very true but if i had the money and space to have 2 cars im very sure i would but unfortunately its not the case.
I have no plans as of yet to make any horrendous changes and dont plan to as i very much like it the way it is. :thumb:
cool. Top man. Let u off, lol.
Nice car mate, shame it got pinched but should be good once its all fixed up.
Glad to see you havn't opted for the obligatory 16v route!
Keep us updated on this. :thumb:
Well upon prepping the car for putting the wings on i discovered that there was sh1t loads of rust on one side after a previous crash that i didnt know about, and the good ol' boys wherever it was fixed didnt seal the bare metal/paint back up so its gone rotten and some of the work performed on it was a bit shabby i thought aswell.
So anyway after getting proper pissed off i left it and then decided to get rid of it because i couldnt be bothered to do it and keep piling money into it , then later had a thought of reshelling it which may seem a bit overkill but in the end will hopefully have a clean rust free Nova for the amount of money i would possibly spend on another car.
So still pondering it at the moment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . decisions decisions
keep pics posted up be good to see how you get on mate
nice colour this mate love the car always wanted a gte in that colour
keep up the good work :thumb:
Definetaly dont sell it mate, looks to be in good nic, (rare for a gte)
I'd say fix her up, much more satisfying to keep an original GTE going than re-shell it.:thumb:
