as soon as you know either way mate. recon im going to struggle though


decided to try and make it look more presentable today. started by washing it, then washing it again and doing all the shuts, then set about polishing the whole bludy thing. it was covered in tar, tree crap and rust stained. got it looking much better though i think

particularly happy with the passenger side and back end, the drivers side simply wont look any better without paint and a new door.

The only other Nova going on that driveway is mine when I get it being as the red one seems to have been taken back off of me lol

Tanya, who's name on the logbook ;)

Lukes, it was his but he gave it to me as a birthday pressie....but it seems to of remained his lol So I want my own.

It's still his then lol nasty Burgo tut tut tut

Isn't he just lol I think I only got given it because I didn't get a birthday pressie or card, although to be fair, Daniel had only been born 2 days before lol

I think this new white one should be done to perfection for you and be birthday and Xmas presents for the next 10 years then lol

I don't like hatchbacks lol

Youve been with burgo too long Tan lol

Your telling me, the first thing I said was that the hatchback needed to be lowered lol

proper chuffed with myself today, decided to tackle the front end and get some non scary brakes on. now i have cheated a little with the front end but i dont care as it looks good and that was the main aim lol

start with this

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...d/SAM_2931.jpg

remove bumper and find this

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...d/DSC02306.jpg

****, worse than i thought lol, oh well test my idea..

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...d/DSC02308.jpg

yep that works, ok take it off again and prep it to put on properly

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...d/DSC02309.jpg

and fitted

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...d/DSC02310.jpg

back on the floor :D looks epic imo, or at least it will when its got some new front wings

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...d/DSC02312.jpg

oh and whilst i was faffing same fitted the brakes for me, i almost head butted the screen when testing so its safe to say they are much better

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...d/DSC02307.jpg

i also tried to straighten the back end, it is better but not much lol

lol id love another white mk1 miss my gte :(

well i was supposed to be treating it to some new doors this weekend but on thursday the head gasket decided it doesnt appreciate my driving style lmao. so i ordered a gasket set and bolts, oil and filter, cam belt, thermostat and anti freeze, not to bad for £70, lobbed me brother £50 to do it all and it was fixed by saturday :D. so new doors are due for next weekend instead now

Must admit it does look a lot better... very sport looking :)

tanya mistook it for a sport as i drove past her :d
