Am I right in saying black is a tough colour to paint because it tends to show up all the imperfections more?

Not hard to paint, but hard on the body as yes it shows everything up.Quote:

front is 90mm at the moment but ive gotta adjust it up because its too low now, rear is 60mm but to be honest with no weight in the back it needs dropping furthur...

Wow, what a nice project here, m8.
Do you have more pics of this awesome Nova finished or with more progress made?
just a quick update, sent some pictures of the nova into Dougie at total vauxhall so fingers crossed will be a feature car soon (with a bit of luck).

No luck needed mate, he'd be stupid not to feature it :thumb:Quote:

Looks fooking amazing that mate, i'd say your dead cert for a feature
:eek: I do like this very much :) Great pics :thumb:
car is a credit to you. very very nice. one of these cars i will never forget.
rep your way.
Looks great dude.
Awesome :thumb:
Cracking car. Good luck with the feature.
Beautiful car...! I like the reflection of the cage in the roof :) Amusing reg when its a euro look lol
Not being picky, but is the intercooler slightly on the wonk?
That is lush !! brilliant looking car !! how much of the work have you done yourself ? look forward to the TV feature :)
Love the car, paintwork looks superb.
My only gripe would be the smooth boot/rear lights, and the huge gap between your grill and bumper.
Other than that it's definatly the best looking wide arch Nova i've ever seen.
the pain in my life is that gap lol
the intercooler mounts are such that it pulls the bumper down a bit to be central in the bumper without hitting the point on the front panel, may take it off and do it again but at the moment its been off the road for just over 2 years and i havnt even driven it yet so think i might poodle it around this year then do some crazy stuff next year.....
yea i noticed the wonk too, sorted that out now....
glen
still a truly stunning car ,
paint work is immaculate :thumb:
beautiful mate :thumb:
like the png sticker on the strut brace
