That one got crushed in 2003, such a shame as it had very little rust, but the boot had turned into a swimming pool, the spoiler tried to pull the boot lid off above 50mph!
What??? how can that be.... Surely it's there to increase down force :DQuote:

Have you got the fuel pump for it too? How much d'you want for it?
Clearly a poor design. Saloons were never built to be that fast anyway.Quote:

Problem with the saloon boot is it slopes backwards, so you either need a high rise wing with high angle of attack, or a low spoiler
Custom boot lip spoiler all the way for me :)
I have a bootlip spoiler that I could put on it, but not sure what it would look like. It has big bolts in it too so I can't offer it up to see what it looks like in place.
The spoiler was off a primera gt, when I first put it on, the angle of the bootlid made it sit lower at the back than at the front. So with the aid of some longer bolts and fibreglass paste I raised it at the rear so that the top of the spoiler sat level. Sitting at this new angle, the shape of the spoiler created way to much drag, and at higher speeds it was pulling the bootlid backwards, letting water in past the seal at the front edge, which turned the boot into a swimming pool.Quote:

excuse the massive picture. Thats the door pockets underneather all painted up as well.
Nothing else done this weekend as it was Alex's 18th.
does that even say nova on it (the wheel)? looks alot like my momo race (the commoners wheel lol) Are they corsa storks i spy as well, or have i been away from a nova for too long? Trim panels are looking good btw.
Ash
Its like a momo race one, but not leather and yeah, it has Nova on it. Will look a bit ghey with the opel badges I intend to put on there but hey ho!
Yup, Corsa stalks. Spot the cunning mod ;)
[edit] Where are my manners - forgot to mention thanks to Rob77 for supplying some front springs earlier this week :thumb:
coming along nicely
youve put the stalks on the oppsoite sides have you not ??
like the wheel aswell
yeah, they're now on the proper sides lol
The Celica has indicators on the right, and wipers on the left (pull down to activate). Can't be doing with using my wipers to indicate turns, so swapped them round so they operate the same :D
lol will you stop getting the same parts as me lol
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4/6bc33d86.jpg
and mine says nova on it aswell lol :thumb:
haha i have that same steering wheel as well
looks like im guna have to buy a new one and get
someone to engrave nova on it for me...
RJ, your slacking, get a move on!!!!!!
A minor bit of Mincing from sunday
New wing mirrors going on, with internal adjusters
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN3074.jpg
Making small holes in the door cards for the Mk2 handles
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN3073.jpg
Painted gubbins... For some reason I appear to have turned into Tim Westwood in this pic lol
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN3068.jpg
btw, I didn't miss a bit under the pocket there, thats where the paint didn't take so had to rub down and repaint that little bit.
Pish, I just updated it :pQuote:

westwood! lmfao!!!
good plan that, mk1 door cards with mk2 handles etc
lol, thats just poor timing on my part. I had to go back 3 pages to fing the thread!
Quality mincing though, at this rate it will be a stunning paperweight lol
Could always gut it and turn it into a trailer for the Celica lol
i think theres enough WiP threads going now so that we can have a mincing competition lol!Quote:

Well this thread would win hands down, its at 11 pages and all he's done is paint some plastic, fit some wheels, and half fit a dashboard LOL
Bless you jack, you know I am jesting lol
Wait til I get my hands on an engine. Cue a 25 page thread with pics of me standing around with said engine hoisted up next to the car, scratching my head lol
lmfbo!! why do i belive that though lol lol lolQuote:

If you want a hand dropping a lump in the feel free to give me a shout and I'll see what I can do.
Did I ever deny I was mincing? lol
Engine help would be ideal, as tbh I won't have a damned clue what I'm doing :D Those of you with eagle eyes might have noticed engine and gearbox has disappeared from the required list - teh ebay purchase will be collected on Sunday hopefully. Knowing my luck it'll probably turn out to be dead, but it was cheap so hey ho :D
Oh, and in true mincing style, I have acquired an opel bonnet badge from ebay. Had one on the hatch and been searching for another ever since, ebay.de turned up trumps though :cool:
have you gone for an XE then ??
Aye
baby blue sloon to look out for at chetlaham or that high hopes?
Not a chance in hell, still need fuel tank, pump, lines, front struts, exhaust and erm insurance lol
i think people should donate/lend Jack the bits and pieces to finish the car i time for the meet lol
I can lend you front struts and give you my old 1.2 exhaust lol
Ash
Well I have struts already on the car, but Rexy advises me they'd not be any good for handling the weight of an xe...
Donations are always welcome though :D
Got a MIG down at the farm? That's the first job to do. I've always got Sunday's free.
