Comments please, car has been off the road for four days now will hopefull be back together by Saterday/Sunday!
Tomorrow I will be repainting the bumpers to hopefully get a better finish.
Oh and I bought some new door pins to hopefully stop the door from sagging, only 52pence Bargin aye....
good stuff fella
Thanks bud, ive just bought a Miami Blue nova aswell so I will have a project thread up for that soon :D
Inner arches painted in body colour always look ace :D Wing looks like it turned out well too
Cheers bud :D
On the o/s front panel but under the headlight, you'll need to cut a hole for the headlight clip.
I know mate, I dont know how to do it though, I thought I could drill a slightly oversized hole! What do you think??
Under size hole and file out to shape etc.Quote:

Its starting look good especialy with the inner archs painted white
will you be doing the rears aswell?
Yeah, plan is to pop the engine out, plate the bay up nicely, seam it, red oxide it and spray it white !
Clean and paint everything on the front end and drop a 1.7TD in!
While am doing all that I would paint all the back end white as well :D
Might do this in June when I have just over a week off :D
Right well update time...
Got all the car back together and I have fitted my side skirts ::D

Look fairly smart I think (yes I know the car needs a wash)!

Thats the exterior... as you all know my interior was a mess after my mishap so I have stripped it all out to clean up...
Took my carpet out, clean it and then sprayed it black (a brilliant trick of the trade is this). They come out perfect, feel smooth and doesn't come off as it stains th fabric :D

The shinny bits are water droplets as it were raining..
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...6122009272.jpg
Front, again perfect! Before and after shot :D
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7122009273.jpg
And in.
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7122009276.jpg
Cut the holes for the 6x9s
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...6122009268.jpg
And fitted, look good. sound great !!

http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7122009278.jpg
Thats it for now the car just wants a good wash and polish! Commets please :D
Did you fit the sideskirts with the sills muddy?
nahh wiped them, you can tell in the photos any way.... Not that it would matter as there not fully eclosed any way! Give it a year and they will be full of ****!!
m8 tht looks the dogs balls! big thumbs 4 the steels! gd 2 c the oil burners r loved! keep it up !
Cheers bud, I wouldn't say the Dervs are liked, people still rip them to bit and pop 2.0ltrs in (because we have not got enough already) !!
Some people do like them but alot of people have not been in one so couldn't possibly understand!
i here the ban stick a coming lolQuote:

Hello guys, today I have finally started working on the Nova again! Plans are to respray the wings, bonnet and bumpers (as am not happy with the finish!)
Clean the interior again, mount the front speakers some where??!
Paint my Fanblades and fit!
Tidy up the very messy engine bay (might drop a 1.7 in some time this year also)
Fully underseal again, repaint inner arches white again, paint calipers and drums and paint suspension!
Fit some better rear shocks and spring (mine are bottoming out :/)
And then clean and polish everything!
Want to be done for PV10 ! Any way must crack on (sanding the wheels atm)
Comments welcome, Dan
the plans sound good mate i will keep an eye on it.
Well, I have Painted my grab handle today I clean all the SH!T out the back, also started sanding the wheels :D
I can see Light at the end of the tunnel ! Lol
Finally fitted the front speakers :D
I think realised i had made an error and the winder was fouling the speaker cover so I extended the winder by around 3/4 of an inch... Fixed :

http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00500.jpg
I then set to wiring in an Amp....
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00503.jpg
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00504.jpg
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00505.jpg
Sorted all the wiring first, then I made an MDF boot floor to clamp it to,
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00517.jpg
Carpeted (all materials were out of a skip btw (Y) )
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00518.jpg
Sounds pretty sweet now so very happy with that (cheers Lewis for the amp) ...
Any way today I set about fitting my gear linkage,... after much trouble it was finally fitted (feels much better now) When removing the linkage I decided to gain better acsess by removing the inlet and oil filter .
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00521.jpg
I then decided to cut the manifold to bits and make a nice cool looking thing :D

After hours of grinding and painting
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00541.jpghttp://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00542.jpg
Oh an while the manifold was off I removed the white ring :thumb:

http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00530.jpg
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00533.jpg
Oh and painted the boost pipe
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00537.jpg
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...7/DSC00538.jpg
So all in all not a bad weekend :D
remove that valve, it wont let it boost more then 17psi lol
Ive welded it up mate, dont you worry,.. she was at 21psi before i removed the ring so I would say she will fly now :D
top work mate, done a hell of a lot more than me today lol wheels are lookin good, and i'm loving that manifold! but you should have polished it though :d
and the red boost pipe? instant 20bhp lol
no worries about the amp, cheers for helping me take my gearbox out :thumb: amp looks good there too, are you routing the power cables under the new floor?
cant wait to go in it now with the white ring mod done :d you put a K&N back on it for the turbo whistle yet?
wont let me rep you again :( lol
