I know it?s a bit pointless without pics, I will add them once ive clocked up 15 posts, but ill give you the run down on my car anyway.
Ive got a 1990 pre-facelift GTE in red. Im going to use it mainly as a fun road car, but may also do a few track days. So, here goes, ive stripped the interior right out, welded in seat rails, sanded and painted the entire floor (not an easy task) fitted one of my Cobra imols S?s, Scroth harnesses, an OMP 300m wheel (from my astra coupe) some sparco pedals and gear knob, along with some custom GTE mats. Ive got a 6 point cage and rear brace awaiting paint (white) and then to be fitted. Ive made up a half false floor for the rear and covered it in black alcantara. Carbon interior panels are getting ordered tomorrow.
The outside is original GTE, standard issue bumpers, skirts and spoiler. The only things ive added are the clear front lenses and the bonnet with blended in MK2 astra vents. Ive replaced the discs and callipers on the already installed rear disc conversion, fitted 4 pot willwoods up front with 290mm discs and 16? TD Pro 1.2s in white.
Under bonnet is the standard 1.6 8v lump fitted with a set of samcos, bailey header tank, K&N, branch, full piper system, new leads, and plugs, complete new ignition system. Also have painted cam cover and strut brace white.
Plans for future is to fit a new handbrake cable, fit cage and rear brace, fit the cam and vernier I already have, maybe go for carbs too. I need some sort of suspension then its off to paint. Im getting it re-sprayed the colour it is now, flame red (already had a pant respray) with gloss black skirts and bumper extensions.
Everything up ?til now has been done diy.
Let me know what you think and any suggestions you have ? please give me your thoughts

Glad you all liked it, hopefully it wont get changed too much before it hits the road.

novarallychris - the only other nova i see up here regularly is a silk violet GSi with clear rear lamps, no idea what the reg is though.

Really nice mate I just read the whole thread and I love the car - your attention to detail was spot on aswell.

But what I cant understand is after spending so much time and money on it and it being 95 percent complete wouldnt you have rather just finshed it off to see it done? Now someone else is going to take most of the credit for all of your hard work? Seems a shame :-(
