Top man :thumb:

love to see how much detail when in to it
any change of some more photo's

absolutely love this car

I found this car on facebook through Total Vauxhall and there was a link to this thread and have sat here for an hour reading through it.


Man you are one multi talented dude! This is a sick build, can’t believe the things you have custom made for this car. The rear axles are mental, I also love the fact that you have used the standard grill bumpers (hiding the intercooler) and number plates on this I’d so hire your services well done.


Is that Mini yours? Is it orange? Dam me want that BIG time!

nice build, think ill be nicking a few ideas if you dont mind ;-)

Saw the thread dug up.

Thanks for the comments chaps!

The mini is my mates vtec. About 230bhp so pretty lively! Hes used it about as much as i have used the nova. Just one trip to the pod last year and that was it!
Hoping to get a few miles on it this year anyway.

Started on my cortina project after this. Will be using the Let in that at some point and possibly putting an xe on 45's in this. Anyway, cracking on with the splitty at the mo. I hope i can get another nova project in a few years..

sorry, didnt realise it was an old thread, the car came up in conversation on 'vauxsausage' on facebook (get yourself on there) Dayne was telling me about it, some very nice work there chap.
how did you get on with the rad in the boot? ive been thinking to do this for a long time but wasnt sure if it would work or not, how/where did you run the water pipes and did you put an aux pump in line somewhere? would be great if you could pm me a bit info about it and any pics you have saved.

cheers
