lol - I've not touched my puntova project in nearly 18 months. The wife is desperate for me to chuck it in the skip and make me convert my garage in to a photo studio. We've just had a new baby girl (our first) and with the business things have literally ground to a halt!
I'd lovel to finish it - perhaps before 2015? lol
congrats on the new member of your family buddy :thumb:
Welcome back Ade, congrats on the baby,
Welcome stranger! Congratulations with the baby girl, lol you need to finish the ptova as it will be worthy of a place in a museum soon for the late 90's/early 00's modified car scene! lol
Are are you still making nova models as I would love a silk violet gsi with speedlines made ? If so how much? Well done with the little girl by the way
As above? I'd like one of my old Estoril Blue SR
think he stop making them lads iirc
due to not having the time i think
Congratulations Ade on the new arrival ;)
This car reaaaalllly need finishing though now lol
Hey noobie :)
Congrat's on the baby, be nice to see you at a show soon..
Who the hell is this Ade character, you need to show your ugly little mug at a show again as its been forever, some of the n00bs wont even know who you are lol
Congratulations to you both on the new arrival, glad to hear youre still alright and such, stay in touch more often though :p
Congrats on the new arrival ade, hope to catch up with you at shows etc buddy.
Congratulations on your new arrival Ade! :)
welcome back. pics aint working for me :(
hey guys n gals. Many thanks for the congrats re the little one. Shes adorable!
I really have not been on here much and in fact I've not even touched the Puntova project since I sold my SR over 2 years ago (god do i miss that little car!). the project is looking really sorry for itself propped up on its side in on the chassis roller covered in tons of crap!
the last thing I built was a trailer to lug my on site printing equipment about for my photography business. been really busy which taking the summer weather and the amount of shows and events that have been cancelled is amazing! Have to say I've been really lucky.
Just bought myself a new car - Kia Sorento KX2 - great for the business but totally boring from a fun perspective - although the 2.2 lump really shifts when you plunge the foot to the floor!
Anyway - my wife has advised me I need to get my backside in order before she goes back to work (my time management skills have gone to pot!) so I'm hoping to have at least one day a week all to myself (no baby or business distractions!) when I can gut my garage and start work on Puntova again!
I'll keep you posted :-D
omg, the ginger scottish man lives!
Wahoo Ade is back :-)
i think this could be like that short radio message the americans received from space.... just one message, and then it disappeared again, and they are still looking for it years later...
I was going to start an e.petition to get this project going again:lol
Congrats Ade and co.
Glad you've got the powers that be kicking your backside i.e your missus to get on with this lol
I'll be glad to see you cracking on again with this but don't take too long as the Punto parts you'll be using are now becoming retro and that means a massive price hike lol
Also how's your photography going?
HELLO WORLD!
Blimey I cant believe its been over 2 years since I updated this thread - or even came on PNG!
I'm afraid life has seriously got in the way of the Project. Its been sat in my garage with so much stuff piled on it you cant actually see the shell anymore.
Still doing the photography - now have a team of ten photographers working freelance most weekends at big events. Never been busier which means I get absolutely no time to do any projects - that and my daughter Rowan is now 2 1/2 years old and running me ragged!
I've dot of got a new project as well - bought a Ford NewHolland Tractor! Its a K reg so ages with the Nova but not as rusty - athough atm its a damn sight faster lol!
Had a fantastic year so think 2-15 will see me start tor project again as I'm now in a position to let my team do the running about whilst I do more admin based stuff so watch this space
OO - and if anyone knows where I can get hold of a 3dr hatch rear panel (the bit that goes across the whole width of the back end the bumper bolts on to) let me know...
Ade
Not seen this before prob due to lack of updates lol
try dragracer on here for your panel he is actuly Opel parts Greece
or mm drotten on eBay failing that a wanted add on here
The ninja is alive, glad to hear business is good mate, be good to see you and the pedo lense at a few shows next year if you get chance
I'll be honest, I'm totally shocked you still have the bloody thing! lol
Glad to here it's all going good mate, nice to see some updates, and as Richard said if you managed to get this side the border even better.
Long time-no-hear Ade.
Sounds like the photography is going well. Nice one!
Like 126 of them? lolQuote:

I can sort a rear panel for less than that I think
Rear panel on here non genuine but only £70

SO - a small Ades Garage V2 update... been busy collecting a few more parts...ebay has been my friend of late :-)
Bought -
a replacement rear panel (full section from behind the bumper) - my existing one appears to be mostly fibreglass!
Two full new read 1/4 panels - the full section from door to window to rear C pillar
and a set of of mint 16" Speedline Allesios with caps!
However - just discovered my wife and I are now expecting our second baby mid July so despite my ongoing collection of bits I'm not sure when I'll be able to get my fingers in to the old project...still running my own photography buisiness which is mental busy atm!
time time time...
Stop having sex and build your nova.
Ade !!! Blast from the past here remember billing some many moons ago now!
Wasnt the puntova the car with some 4x2 wedged in the sill for a repair??
Love to see this finished.
Of course it would be totally unique.
Let’s go!
