Hi all, as you all no my nova just made it to billing this year with a few finishing touches being done on the friday morning.As it got sprayed in january of this year it still hasnt been flatted and machine buffed yet and theres a few imperfections on the bodywork still.So this is where it starts again THE REBUILD NUMBER 2 :laugh: , shes going to be getting a few changes over the winter months and an increase in power :wink: ready for the 2008 season.She will be going for another trip into the bodyshop shortly after xmas and i,ll be doing most of the other things my self but i,ll be keeping you all posted on my progress on here and it started of with me buying one of these to keep my nova warm and dry over the winter months
