Nova Saloon wip

i removed one of those bmw live wires once, never used it but sold it on ebay for £50+ they have a emergency cut out spot in the middle if it gets rear ended it pops and car wont start for the replacement part of this its over £200 from bmw iirc!

Nice...Think I might remove the cut out though.

So, with thanks to Paul, to go with my Strengthened, Polybushed and powdercoated bottom arms...

Well, about time this was brought up to date...

Collected these (only 1 side in pic) from Essex...
Seriously expensive paperweights.

Right, trial fitting completed, happy with the rear disc/caliper fitment, so it can be stripped, modified for coilover use and powdercoated.

It occurred to me after looking at this picture again...

That the calliper was too far away from the disc and upon checking the pads were half on, half off the disc.....damnit...I was supplied the wrong calliper mounting plates, I was supplied ones for a 5-stud as the discs are bigger so the calliper sits further away.
Here, you can see the difference.

So, with the correct plates fitted...bang on..

And another makes 2......(And just over a £1000 on seats alone)

This one is new too, but as you can see, differs very slightly in that it has 2 Corbeau Badges on the inner headrests.

And Plonked into position....

O...M...Fecking G! I am genuinely slightly aroused by my new engine mounts that have just arrived...

And more...

Existing steering wheel removal kit is far too cumbersome, as you have to fit it inbetween the boss and wheel, so I have bought a new vehicle specific one. The benefit is weight and size as it reduces the distance for the column to the wheel by a good 2 inches, might not sound a lot, but when fitted it is very noticeable...

Me Likey!!

I like them..a lot. Plus LUKE are the official Belt partner for Corbeau seats, plus they are 3 Inch versions and loop hole rear for the harness bar.

It has to go back to the welders now to have the seat rails put in, the harness bar fitted, hole for gear linkage cut, handbrake hole welded over and steering column moved to suit the new driving position....Then paint....Maybe..lol

Front wings were packed and delivered at the fibreglass man (Chris) so he can take mounds and make me a pair of wings.

Engine brackets are here...All 3 powdercoated black ready to be fitted with the alloy mounts.
