You can do what you like, and good luck e.t.c
But be aware, unless you make a proper bloody good job of it (i.e ****-hot work), it's just going to be as bad in 4 years !

To many stickers
Sh*t wing mirrors
Didn't you say somewhere on here that you wanted to make it look completely original ?? Why the hell did you get m3 mirrors and plaster it in stickers that mite look ok if you just had 1 or 2 and ?? :roll: When you should be stripping all that off and sorting out the rust first ??
M3's Are Coming Off !!!!!!!!
Nice one, GTE all the way, either that or the grill and bumper one piece, dunno what bumper it is, seen a few sports with them, love it. I rekon you should dave up your pennys, get some MAJOR arch mods and lower it as low as possible like that black euro nova, fookin love that thing!
ok im going to a party on saturday and if anything happens that shouldnt then the nova is been taken away. this is not a lie. gettong crushed into a cube and bieng put back

yeah i love the Mini Ben!! I had my Nova for about 9 months before i passed my test... i got it looking sweet- so i didnt have to do anything once i got it on the road... seeing it on the way to get the bus every morning made me really determined to pass!! i know 3/4 years is a long time but i think you should encouraging the lad... even if he never drives it he is getting experience and obviously enjoys doing it!
Dave Dave Dave your pm box is full mate and I need your address for the indicators.
that'll be a boring party then
in all fairness i got my first car when i was 15 but that needed a proper bare shell re-build so it took me 2 years to do it!
Fair play mate i use to take my metro to peaces when i was 15 and fix it for her, old boy over the road all ways help and pointed me in the right direction!! novaloaders will help you out! Carry on is what i say!!

yeah its on dry storage. anyway the donar cars getting stripped this week so im getting locks ignition and odd bits
anway ive just been sent a set of clear mk1 indicators for free from matt. so thatll make it look smart. and the sr grill im getting will look ace onit.
ok its a saturday so its nova day
today the scrap man rang me to say that they had a little white 1.2 mk2 in for crash. so i shot down there. as i was about to walk out to go the toilet i see half the front of a pale blue mk1. thought i new it from somewhere. anyhoo i was having toruble getting the centre console out of the mk2 when some lad came up to me and said you off novaload? i said yes are you? he said yes whats your name. i said dave or xxxnovaxxx. he sed yeap thought you were. im REXY. then i twigged where id saw the car. its the blue saloon off here the pickup to be. he took me over too see it and it was a minter. he opened the bonnet and my eyes popped out my head. id never seen a 2.0 in a nova before. it looked awsome. couldnt believe that someone so close to me was a nl'er too. anyhoo he asked me to get him the heater blower out for him. so i did and i managed to get it for free.
anyway he came back to the house where the novas at and had a look round it. he even tried to get the steering whell off but even he found it hard.
anyway he went off in his nova. shook the whole estate down in the process. then i got stuck in with the work. not alot done today tho but i did fix the awfull grill. i replaced it with the standard 1 and secures a sr badge to it. and fitted the clear indicators. after that i fitted the centre console. fitted ok but not brilliant. then i removed the s****y wing mirrors and put the novas old 1's back on. then i tinted the side indicators.looked ace. overall a better days work.
heres some progress pics anyway
so what do you all think. better looking or worse?
