great work again.........i've never thought much about the ice installs before
as u said..........its more about being functional.....or just working.....and sounding half decent for me
Well Billing has been and gone and a very good weekend it was too !!! It has just left me with some sort of viral infection I have picked up and has put me off work for a week !!!
My Billing pics are in my album here :- Billing 2007 pics
However here's a few :-

Photoshoot has been booked with TV on 31st July so will let you know how that pans out!
Joff
I was over lookin at your car Joff and nearly died when that wee boy tapped me and handed me the TV sticker lol
Looks better in person mate!
Just found and read most of this thread joff. Saw your car at BCCC after spraying, whom also sprayed my nova 16V in arden blue. Anyway you mention Bilstein suspension kit which is fully adjustable without having to go to a nasty rear coilover setup. Where did you get this kit from?
Thanks in advance for reply.
Got it off a lad from Kent who was going to put it on a Rio Verde green nova historically owned by Gary Hope , now owned by Rick Marland (from Oldham).Quote:

Demon Tweeks sell them at ?1169 plus delivery now

Another spot here is selling it for ?860 (I think that will be plus VAT & Del)

Hope this helps - have a dig around on the net and see what you can find or maybe wait a while for one to come up on either the PNG website, Migweb, Corsasport or ebay.
Joff
Thanks for reply joff.
I have had a quick look around and found a good price on suspension. The prices you give are for Bilsein B14 PSS (dampers are not adjustable) as apose to B16 PSS9 (adjustable dampers). I am not interested in adjustable dampers only adjustable springs for which I have found a price of ?615 inc vat. Not half bad for what is a fully adjustable ride height suspension with a quality name. see http://www.247ppd.com/product~prodID~922626.htm.
I am going to order these ASAP at this price.:D
P.S. didn't mention earlier but I take my hat off to you for putting so much time and effort into the nova. I hate to think what you say when the insurance company asks you to list any modifications you may have.:eek:
I am just building my nova 2.0 16V not too far away from you and the project has taken me 8 months so far and that seems like forever - never mind two and a half years. :confused:
Try just over 4 years and your near the mark !!!!!Quote:

PM me where you are and I may pop over sometime as I need to put some miles on the Nova!
Joff
u no what your doing m8 just got my self a nova the other day very tidy after a year ill be doing the same with my engine bay
joff how do u do all this i wish i could how did u do the head unit hider
Quite easy really, 9 core multi cable, a good soldering iron and some patience!!!! The P series Pioneer head units only need 8 cables to get the face plate to work , but these head units were on sale in 1999/2000 . Unsure how the newer stuff connects but basically the more connections the more soldering required!Quote:

Did quite a few tracking shots on a dual carriage way just down the road then did some static shots at a local haulage yard about 4 miles up the road.
This is only pic I took - its a bit washed out - I left it to the experts !!!
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15...-nova/Tv1a.jpg
Aparently due to it being very sunny it was giving them difficulties with light/shade balances so they got out some flash lights !!!!
If the pics come out OK then it will be on the front cover at some point later this year !!
Dan Williamson is doing the write up (ex-Revs) so should be OK !
Watch this space !!!
Joff
Looking good -- Can't wait to read this feature :)
Good work Joff :)
Nice one joff.
Look forward to seeing it in.
Nice one Joff, hope it makes it on the cover and look forward to reading the feature.
Good job! :)
just spent the last hour or so reading this post and
got to say im speachless on your achievment, i was thinking in giving my project up but this gives me the incentive i need to carry on, thanks and once again great work .karl.
JOFF, was d!cking about on dvla website earlier, came across this and thought of you, good price too....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...NewPicture.jpg
got a feeling yours is an F plate though? :thumb:
Yep, mine is an F reg (registered 18.11.1988).
Did a search, lots of x888 nov plates where x is the year letter, however earliest plate is a J (1990/91) so can't do it.
Would have been tempted at ?188 !
Joff
If only you could get A888 NOV.
Well the wait is nearly over - this is a scan of the last page of this months Total Vauxhall previewing next months issue :-
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15...va/nova888.jpg
Another photographer came up last Saturday to do a special shot for the front cover - involved a big jig, a long boom and an 8 second exposure on the camera - its for the front cover so will look v.v.cool !!
Comes out on 28th September - called the Autumn issue.
Cheers
Joff
