I was just about to do it myself, and had basically the same gameplan in mind that you are using...glad to see it works. ;)

Only a few more bits to be done then the rest of the car can be painted, fingers crossed within the next 2 weeks.

looks well good job
What kind of suspension have you installed?
Its nothing special, just an Apex kit with 40mm springs but i've got a set of 60mm spring just incase it sits a bit too high.
Put 60mm to the front and 40mm to the back. Looks very good...
Looking forward to see more.
Would you like to install the drums, too? ;)
There wasn't much progress made last week which means nothing to update. I dug out some pics of the nova from last summer, in a way i regret starting all over again.

Lovin your old nova, you seem to have good choice in colour:thumb:
Cant wait to see your nova finished
Its the same car as the one im doing now, wouldn't have been the same if i'd of done it to another one.
I was originally going to get it painted europa blue again but i got offered the house of kolor gear and couldn't turn it down.
I just wish i took it to some more shows! Only took it to donny south last year and that was it.
Looks sweet as matey! A genberally tidy GSi look, but with different alloys to what people usually go for, but it works ;)
Lookin forward to seein ur other nova finished!
L
is there a feature for that car?
Not that i know of, should of got it done really.
was it easy to get the wheels on offset etc and how much was it lowered by, sorry for filling up your thread bud
phil
that looks really nice mate,I like the colour of it whats the paint code or the name?
Yeah it wasn't that bad really. I had a set of 7.5x15s on it for a while so i got the arches rolled well before i brought them, they did rub a bit on the inner arch.
The old wheels were a 7x17 with a 45mm offset, the new wheels are a 7.5x18 with a 40mm offset. I've got some 6mm spacers for the back as it was a bit close on the inner arch.
It was running on 40mm springs but im thinking of trying some 60's this time round.
It was a vauxhall colour, europa blue pearl can't remember the paint code though. Should have it somewhere, ill see if i can dig it out.

should be a class nova when your finished with it.
Alright all, not been able to get on recently due to a fooked computer. Having to use my mobile at the mo so i cant update any pics of the nova. Ive had nothing but grief from the painters, but they've finally decided to pull their fingers out and get it finished for the 20th of this month. Shame it taken them over 5 months get it done! Hoping to have the engine and interior in by the new year. Will get some more pics up soon.
look forward to seeing some - love the arches - look really good - and the colour is superb.
What plans do you have for the interior?
Need to go Leather/Alcantara!
well ive already got a black gsi dash & the install from before, thats trimmed in alcantara so all i need is to get my seats done. Also got to put a roof lining in as the painters decided to rip mine out. Ive got one out of a mk2 sr, should do nicely as a template. Really want an alcantara roof lining!
nice car proper wide arches none of that fibre glass kit stuff that looks crap after 9months if it ant bin done rate.
How much is it costin u at the body shop,im a painter and id be a lot of money 4 me to take this on!!!!!!!1500quid for prepin and paintin never mind the panel work and filler,nice engine 2!!!!!!
considering the guys that are painting it are "mates" they 1st quoted me £1500, that soon went up to £2000! Bearing in mind i supplied all the parts and the all paint (£1000) plus putting in over 20 hours on it myself.
this nova is looking stunning, cant wiat to see the finished item, keep it up matey.
At last the nova is getting painted, should be done within a few hours! Ill try to get a pic up.
Look forward to the pics mate.
Right i've finally managed to hijack a mates computer so i can put some pics up of the nova now its painted. Sorry about the quality, couple of them are a bit dark. The pics really don't do it justice, will try to get some pics in the day light.

looking awsome matey, keep the pics coming, love that paint.
Lovely matey.
I'm looking forward to seeing this one all finished.
Right finally go it back on monday, since then fitted the door & tailgate handles, sunroof, front/back lights, started to fit the roof lining but hit a bit of a snag when i realised the painters had ****ed the clip in the middle of the sunroof that holds the middle bar up leaving me to find a way to keep it up there..... sugestions welcome!!!!!! Also waxoil'd everything in sight as well as giving it a polish. still got a **** load of slurry from the flat and ploishing on the tyres.... fecking stuburn stuff!!!! Still got feck loads to do, hoping to have it on the road by mid january but not holding my breath as im expecting loads more hic ups along the way!
