that would be interesting to no tbh, i'm the cars 10th owner according to the v5
Will and I bought it from Basingstoke with it on it's ass with 15" venoms and brand spanking a509's on and 15 litres of oil in the engine lmfao towed it from ****stoke to Newport down the m4 on a fixed bar, swapped the wheels, suspension and removed the ceased engine and fitted another then Sean bought it.
Riggy just said to me about this update.
Wow. Done really well. The car was awsome and your doing really well. Will be nice to see it again. I'll see if I can find my fav pic of this car in its hay day.
The car was bought as a 1.6 originally but after getting wasted by a beemer on m6 a week later a xe was fitted
Thanks sean am finally getting somewhere with it even though it has been along time comming, yeah would be cool iff you could find the pic, didn't chris rebuild this car at one point, am sure there was a old build thread for it?Quote:

The engine was then put on a trolley so i could at least move it around easily

more updates soon :)
Had a bit of a mince today in the rain lol took the wheels off and put the car on stands as am going to hammerite the underside and inner wheel arches, it'll just neaten it up
front wheels off
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010596.jpg
rear wheels off
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010601.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010602.jpg
seems hard to believe how the arches look now
before
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...Photo445-1.jpg
after
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010607.jpg
i think the inner arches would look better all one colour lol
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010600.jpg
and i need help desiding what wheels i should use
got some unknown multispokes
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010604.jpg
some 5spoke Dare Rls wheels
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010606.jpg
or some classic 14inch Revolution RFS's
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010605.jpg
am thinking of using the Dare wheels, you guys got any ideas which i should use?
Dare :thumb:
The dares are a class choice on a nova!
Car looked ace in that pic sean, and yeah am really thinking of using the Dare wheels they'll suit it better, next thing is what colour lol
Classic red and white IMO.
yeah i've thought that, not a bad combination tbh, also thought gunmetal grey to go with the side skirts
I went with red and blue but only accessories were blue.
I want first dibs if you ever sell this car
Yeah what like engine hoses, seat belts ect, am still trying to deside what colour wheels and rocker cover lol, and yeah i will keep you in mind mate iff i ever descide to sellQuote:

Anthracite to match the skirts gets my vote, white does look mint though.
Example, curts beast... even though his skirts are black lol :roll:

Gun metal grey gets my vote bud. would look well on your car
That looks like my old cage is it twin braced?Quote:

I had blue bits all over, door pins, harness's, gear nob, horn ring, rocker cover to engine etc. id go anthracite on wheels. White is nice but a pain to clean.
still got the door pins on it sean, wheels are going anthractite, same with the rocker cover, but knowing me i'll probably change my mind again.
not really done alot with the bank holiday, got let down again with the engine crane, so am just going to fit all the trims to the shell gets things shifted out the car and the garage lol
started by fitting the drivers side skirt
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010613.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010610.jpg
then realised i can't because the side repeater wiring needs repairing so my plan of bonding the skirt on went out the window
wiring
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010620.jpg
so i turned my attention to the passenger side
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010609.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010612.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010621.jpg
side repeater on so thats the passenger side built up
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010622.jpg
cleaned up a gsi dash i got off Hendrix, well my girlfriend did lol
looks alot better than the painted one i've got in the car now
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010614.jpg
started collecting interior trims, i'e dash shelves
got one gsi shelf
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010615.jpg
then raided a scrapped nova for other parts i might just have to clean these up and paint them as parts are getting harder to find
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010616.jpg
won some sri sunvisors off ebay, think they'll suit the car alot better than the plan ones
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010619.jpg
also got a front splitter from work its off a toyota of some sort lol
think it might suit the car will need adapting though
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/P1010617.jpg
more updates soon
Mike.

Still loads to do but making more progress this year than I have in the last ermmm nearly 10years

First time i've seen this, liking it alot. Bar that rear brace, wont do anything on the sturts.
I like the spilter too, part numbers or a model?
Thanks Benn still plenty to do but it's getting there
The rear brace I bought because it went with the cage and was a very good price.
The splitter is from a 06 plate corolla :)

Looks very nice indeed now, spray the rocker silver it looks naff blue imo;)
