Moving onto the nova.
Mixed week to be honest, had a fella come round who is A**** on bodywork, and he pretty much crucified the nova.
Turns out the owner 2 owners ago crashed the car, yet kept it very quiet, so it was sold onto the owner before the fella I bought it off, the fella I bought it off built it all up, then randomly stripped it down, and I bought it.
Ive now been told the reason it was stripped was because he found out it was slightly twisted, and basically stitched me into it:roll:
However, not being one to give up easily, its going on the jig in this fellas unit, and will be pulled square, and all the pannels hung and gapped perfectly so im told:thumb:
So It started, big job on so to speak.
Dropped the engine on my own, so left it under the car so to avoid accidents like the shell fallin off stands etc.

bloody hell some nice finds there cant wait for it all to soart being fitted :) defo be keeping intouch for parts deals and progress updates was good meeting ya:)
dito with the skirts.lol
Is this not built yet?
/\ it seems not, as he's almost as useless as me lol
oh, and Matt: what the f*cking hell is going on with the alternator recess? it looks like it was done by Stevie Wonder! Do you want a labrador to help you do it again? lol lol
The car has been owned by ****tards since it was new lol.
I'll save you Lucy, dont worry xx
Just been reading the latest updates. The owner 2 owners ago would of been Eastham and im pretty sure he never crashed it, if it had been banged then it would of been from the guy who had it before him years ago. I've wanted this shell since the first time i saw it around 5 years ago and im very surprised you're finding faults with it, think you must be a picky bugger lol
Either way though, im glad that you are clearly spending a bucket load of cash on this car, should be a minter once completed. Those new parts are pretty epic! Will look forward to it being finished, i knew i should of bought the shell when i had the chance :(
Yeah Lee, im unsure, it makes sense as the why both the previous owners mysteriously built it up, then stripped it down quite quickly.
Im not that fussed, its a 17 year old boy racers dream, its going to have had a hard life and some abuse.
Fortunately Ive got the funds to sort it out, all be it slowly as I keep spending on other toys lol
Small update is the daily van now sports the GSI kit, Prodrive skirts, 16" td wheels, 110mm drop, irmsher spoiler, estate rear bumper, boot trims and some Opel, opc badges and seat covers and a fancy Grille. Next mods are HIDs and DEPO headlights.
Ill get some pics of it on the weekend as I go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark lol
Tiny update.
Been working on Booster Van mk2, as mk1 went away shall we say lol
And bought a GSI16V badge, unsure if Im going to use it though, will try it and see.
