Just read from start to finish. Hats off to you. Loving the carbon wrap roof!
wow this mint
looking very good mate :thumb: cant wait to see it finished
how light does a 400+hp nova need to be made mate lol
It's not just about making it quicker by losing weight it's also the fact the ford 4x4 running gear don't like big power so trying to take the strain of it if that makes sense
liking this build so far mate, but in ''my opinion'' it would look better with just the standard nova front end/
keep up the hard graft
nearly everyone iv spoken to has said the same lol not sure why though..........................Quote:
