What ever happened with this Liam? Have you passed your test yet???
Get some updates up ;)
My test is booked for the 19th September and I am still waiting for it to get painted red which will hopefully be some time next week. I need to get it done by the time I pass my test as it's going to be my first car. No update as such but I have been collecting a few bits. I sold the bucket seats and bought some Recaro's:

Also bought an OMP deep dish suede steering wheel, quick release hub and electric windows and central locking.
Right now for some good news, the Nova's finally going in for paint on Friday! So hopefully it should be done within a week and then I can get some propper updates rather than these little pointless ones. I'll be working on a tight deadline to get it done as it's got to be done for when I pass my test (hopefully I do) on the 19th. I'll get pictures during paint as hopefully i'll be giving hand prepping.
Oh and the whole inside is getting done aswell, and i'm still trying to persuade Rob (the painter) to do the engine bay aswell as i'm getting it painted for FREE for doing his website.
Nova's off to get painted tomorrow, really excited as it's been months since it was supposed to happen. I am saw one of my dad's friends yesturday who said that as soon as the Nova's out of paint he would make and fit a rollcage for FREE aswell which is a propper result! Just a quick sneak peek pic taken the other day during the strip down:

Quite a bit of progress today. Went down to the paintshop today to give a hand on the Nova. Removed all the windows, trim etc and degreased the whole car ready for dent repairs/filler work tomorrow. Also test fitted the lovely Mk1 front end, even as it is, it looks 100% better than the Mk2 ;) My dad also stayed to lend a hand aswell.
There has been a change of plan with the colour and I am now not going with red. Rob (the painter) had been mixing up some paint for fun and I must say it looks amazing, so now the Nova is going that colour. I am not going to say what colour but will post some pictures when it's complete. All I can say is that it is not an original Vauxhall colour ;).
(sorry for crappy iPhone pictures)

Nice solid shell that.
Just one thing, don't fit a roll cage. If you are a new driver you wont have a hope in hell of insuring it.
Looking forward to seeing it in paint.
