Does look a very good match for a new bumper finish.
Yeah thats right. It does look smarter and also only takes about 3/4 of a can to cover it a couple of times.Quote:

Not much more to do now Scott.
I've been doing bits and bobs today. Mainly tidying the paintwork up by flatting and polishing it, still got to do the drivers side. :( I hate doing it.
I Still need some front wings, i might go for some fibreglass items. Anyone know anywhere that sells them?
Also need some front brakes, i have V6 set up at mo but need new discs and pads, i may even go for some wilwoods.
And apart from the above just got afew bits to do like tidying wires up, fitting headlights etc.
Nath

Just been doing a few bits and bobs on it last weekend.

Looks good dude, i like them omp seat's they were an option i though about getting a while back.
keep up the good work mate.
Scott
Cant find ANYONE who does FG standard wings mate. Whoever makes a mould and does it should make a killing IMO.
You could get some wide ones like Mr Dankar lol
Nath, dont get the wide GRP wings, as much as i like Oli and his car, IMO the wings look GASH! lol
Scott
I see what you mean. I may still get some, to be honest i'm not bothered what they look like. And i may even go wide track some day.Quote:

Would there be any demand for FG wings made like those? Its a lot wider than standard.
Im sure Rick if you got some GRP done of yours, there would be a few of us on here who would have some mate.
Scott
agreedQuote:

Looking good Nath, nearly done :)
Rick, i'd be interested in some copies of yours.
Craig, all the brake lines where off a rally car i bought and stripped.Quote:

I will see what i can do with regards my wings.
Bit of an update.
I'm hoping to get the nova on the road for March ( Yes March 2008 ) lol.
Ive purchased some goodies this week and just waiting for delivery on them.
280mm Wilwoods Mmmmmmmmmmm
Lightweight battery
Fibreglass wide front wings and bumper.
All that needs doing after these are fitted is a general tidy up & MOT.
Will post piccies at weekend when hopefully everything has arrived.
:cool:
Nice one Nath
Sorted for 2008s track/show days then :)
Yeah definatley!
Gonna have it on the road for a couple of month first though, just to make sure everything is ok.

Next job was to sort a wiring fault out. The N/S side light fuse kept blowing. I traced it down to the heater controls illumination after stripping all the wiring down. LOL
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...00/oyfkhgf.jpg
Repaired wiring and refitted/ tidyed up. Eventually i will make my own loom up, CBA at the mo.
