Mike, thanks for posting the pics and the forum link - I'll be following this one. Great looking car.
Are there traders accounts on png? I'd like to support the club, and don't want to spam forums with plugs!
Cheers, Mike.

PM Lee or one of the admin, can get a trade thing through them i think.

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...B/P1030417.jpg
few bits to tidy up yet
thats awsome! you just cant beat red mk1's ;) :thumb:
this is now for sale.
getting kicked out the garage over the next two weeks as my Dad has bought another bike and needs the space. i dont want to have it sitting outside so im getting rid.
Not that keen on breaking it, rather give the whole lot to someone. theres a thread in for sale section with more details, and im fairly flexible on price.
if i get enough interest in various bits then i might be tempted to split. otherwise i'll chuck it on the bay
michael.blair@ogilvie.co.uk is my works add
michael.blair@virgin.net is the home one.
or theres always PM
Cheers :thumb:
Sold on Saturday the 19th, it was back at my house this morning (22nd) - bought it back. i had to. got my finger out and ordered:
2 Sills (it doesnt need them but its getting)
1 rear panel (old one looks crap)
Bilstein B10 kit
little Lifeline fire extingisher
and some new bushes.
yay for me!:thumb:
Nice one mate glad to see you got it back lol
Crack on with it mate
Do you think it could be ready for the 17th August ?
will be cracking on as soon as the bits turn up. doubt it'll ready in the next month though, loads of tidying to do once all the bits arrive and get fitted. then it needs painted. not going to take it to any meets/shows until its 100%.
No problem mate
You able to come along to the meet ?
aug 17th no can do mate, its BTCC at knockhill. only tim eof the year i can wear a VXR shirt and not look like complete cock lol
lol Ah well
Plenty more meets to come so you'l can bring the GTE along to them :)
right. Billies have arrived, that this weekends task. ordered B10s, which ive heard good things about and i got these at a great price so i thought id try them out.

few little updates
fitted tailgate pins, didnt want them under the window where everyone puts them,dont like them there plus ive got a wrap round spoiler too so it was a no go. bit of a mare getting them working and not catching, but i did it!
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...B/P1040640.jpg
new sparco gaiter. ties in nice with the red/black colour scheme
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...B/P1040642.jpg
and there she is, up on stands awaiting her new suspenders
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...B/P1040644.jpg
(love how you can se the red samco through the grill:thumb: )
comments please...
suspension kit looks sweet:thumb:
boot/bonnet pins not my thing:(
gaitor is also not my thing:( ( all black one looks better(new):thumb:
samco hoses are sweet,now they do go with the car:thumb:
mk1 gte front end,does another nova look sweeter than this!:cool:
whats the drop on the suspension kit?pics when fitted mate:thumb:
awsome reg plate by the waylol
pins sort of go with the motorsport theme im after, and i didnt actually realise the gaiter had that daft sparco S on it, still itll do for now. a nice new rubber one wuld be nice!!:thumb:
drop is60 at the front and 40 on the rear, supposedly. we shall see. pics will up once theyre on.
i nearly put "FOR FCUKS SAKE" as my caption on the no plates, but i decided it was a bit silly and went for the GTE logo instead.
will keep an eye out on this project as i want to see the pics of the car with the kit on,thats what im thinking a 60 front 40 back.
fronts all fitted up, painted inside the arches while i was at it. just the rears to go now.
