Im sure others agree but the simple reason i went for it, is there isnt anyone else with the same car and it isnt the usual gsi kit and speedlines which i think is just about the most over done look on this site.Quote:

Im not a fan of the kit either, but i like its coolness for being retro/unique, it certainly stands out from the crowd.
i like the kit to be honest

my mistake ive been looking at this picture,

the finish is far from perfect for a couple of reason, i payed ?5OO for the complete spray job, i just couldnt justify blowing anymore money on it. it has got me in to a hell of alot of dept, which i am still paying off. I want to buy a house now and that is far more important.
the other reason is the kit is 23 years old and been fitted to god knows how many cars. the drivers arch has been smashed up in the past and not been repaired that well, not to mention the rear bumper which got smashed to peices when my engine crane fell on it. fair play to people like keith who are building perfect cars but i just dont have that kind of passion for a nova.
deffinatly mate, id love to see both cars going to shows this year, it would be like back in the day!Quote:

Went down my work shop today and got started on my internal gear shifter. Ive gone for a corsa shifter instead of a cav one, just because i had one laying around.
First i cut the old shifter surround out and part of the carpet support out, ive left parts of it as i want to try and keep the centre console. Then i remove the old shifter.
the corsa shifter rod is a different shape to the cav one but with a bit of cutting and welding i managed to get the results i wanted.
just got to cut the hole in the tunnel now.
also my roose joints arrived yesterday for the linkage along with my new german style number plates.
Ill get pictures up tomorrow.
sounds good mate!
well ive finished the corsa internal shifter! it feels miles better than the nova one. Also managed to get the centre console to fit, with the help of my dremel.
Im going to hold off on the roose joints, going to save them for the f28 linkage.
picking these up on sunday

Ive decided to paint the inside of the back end instead of fitting a false floor. So after work i removed all the sound deadening for the rear and have started rubbing it all down should have it all finished tomorrow.
what size are they? will the fit the wheels?
they are 280mm, i really hope they do fit!!!!
If not ill have to change the wheels as i cant go any smaller on the brakes
As much as I like the irmscher rims I would recomend changing them for the look of the car. What brakes are you running at the moment?
ive just got some 256 cav brakes on athe the mo, fitted them to get it through the mot.
Picked up the wilwoods today, they look spot on. only thing is the brake lines that came with them dont fit the wilwoods.
been looking in to the wheel situation, as i think it will look better with bigger ones.
Anyway i have found these, what do you all think?
