Yeah, it has turned out rather oddly lol I did have plans to do a bit more with the car this year but things didn't quite work out. I've got big plans for it yeah and it's going to turn into more of long term project hopefully. Decided the car isn't practical to use as a daily so I'm taking it off the road and I'm looking to get a newer car at some point. Just wanted to get everything tidied up on the Ski so I can put it away for a while and know it'll be ready when I want to start on it. I'm planning on stripping it down to a bare shell and totally re-building it. It's something I've wanted to do for a while and if I didn't completely re-build it I don't think it'd ever be happy with it and there'd always be something not quite right with it.

Don't expect anything to happen over night, it's going to be a full over-haul if all goes to plan :thumb:

Love this car either way you have it ;) Oh and paint the Vauxhall logo on the trims red.

lol Thought it might confuse a few people. I wanted the griffins on the wheels done silver again as they were before but the bodyshop wanted loads to do them with coloured centres as it would involve loads of fiddly masking and tricky spraying apparently. Wasn't that bov'd, just wanted them freshend up tbh.

Cheers dude! I know what you mean, I kinda like the standard look too but there's no way I can leave it alone lol

well i guess it helps to start with a good shell already, so..
cool.

I loved it the way it was.

Might build mine into a rep of it but with slabs

looks absolutly perfect the matt which ever way you have it altough it did look nice lowered with the wheels on IMO:thumb: .

it is superb :)

XE/LET on the way then for the ski :)

lol

Cheers lads! :)

I take it your planing keeping it as a 1.2 etc, as the Ski is not exactly a common model, let alone mk1 novas these days! lol

Im going to try and restore the mk1 i have, keep as it rolled out the factory, i love the time warp feel to it, even got used to the **** brakes now! lol

Best of luck either way mate.

Scott

loving the standard look chum,,,, :):thumb::thumb::thumb:
