Liam's Nova X16XE Project

And some general pictures of the car at the moment (before I painted the rear window surrounds). Will hopefully be coming off the road at the end of this month as well for winter. The tax and insurance runs out then and I should hopefully be able to pick up a cheap daily that I can sell on in the spring!

Really liking the photos Liam, a nice use of your camera.

Also loving the attention to detail in the engine bay, cracking build :cool:

Very nice pics, looks stunning mate :)

Fantastic photos.

This is a great project. The nuts and washes you have for the grill and headlamps are really neat. It just shows that all the small attention to detail gone into this car makes an impact on it as a whole. keep up the good stuff liam :thumb:

Updates please! Just read the whole thread and still love this car!

its sat under a cover in storage over winter but couple of things are in the works for it ;)

Cool!

As Connor has said, the Nova was put away in October for the winter and to do some bits to it. I've been buying and collecting lots of parts over the past few months and will be doing bits to it very soon.

I actually worked on it for the first time since it went away today, getting the interior partly stripped ready for the cage to be fitted/welded in. Once that is done I shall be taking it to the bodyshop and getting the inside painted the same colour as the engine bay (anthracite). I'll also get the cage painted as well but not sure whether to go matt black (original colour), anthracite (same colour as inside) or red (same colour as the car?).

Then, when it's back i'll get it up on axle stands and remove everything underneath. I'll then get the floor undersealed and painted and get everything powdercoated red/black. I'm also going to be fitting polybushes throughout which I bought a couple of weeks ago.

I'm also on the lookout for a mint drivers door as mine is starting to rust again everywhere! Or, I'm contemplating getting some fiberglass ones from Chris at CMComposites?


(The only part of the car that's still white!! Not for long though.)
