looking good mate keep it up.
here we go as promised
finally fixed the aerial this weekend, all it was was that someone had cut the old one out, but left the old aerial lead in, so i plugged the one that wasnt connected into the radio, and the other aerial lead was just dangling inside the wing, lol
anyway, my good friend who works for my dad called pete tcut'ed and polished it with me all day, then i back to blacked the bumpers and grab handle, and it looks stunning now

But it really does need lowering and the wee stripe off the side of it.
Apart from that it looks really good dave!
baloooon tyres...
will scrub like a coont on those tyres
it wont, its had all the arches rolled at sometime in its life
i'd put money on it rubbing on the inside 50 profile is an absolute max on a nova
so would i! ha haQuote:

they are 50 tyres, they have about 2mm clearence all round
prob replacement arches then if the car is otherwise standard, why would someone roll the arches to fit steelies on standard suspension...Quote:

and stop making work for me aswell lol
I must say Nova is looking well sweet :) and for a 13yr old you sure know your stuff:) keep up the good work pal:)
p.s Lower It :) hehe
a little update
fixed my side vent :thumb:
so, whats everyone thinking of the nova now? its pretty much as i want it, mabey remove the strips and debadge the bonnet, i like the exterior and i love the interior, nothing over the top, and it all cost me nothing to do so far
well... finally ive got my rear window surrounds in, and they look great
me any my dads employee kev (woolfy) started at half 4 this afternoon, and finished at 10 past 6, i was knackared, didnt help either that the frames were bent, so we spent a long time reshaping them
anyway, heres pics of them in with the original glass, has my reg number etched in
hope you like them :thumb:

got friday this week and all the 2 weeks after to tinker with the car, so expect some progress :thumb:
That's the best read ive had all week lol... I like the way you say your going to do something then do it unlike most people haha ... Anyway im off, my Nova arrives in 7 days :):):) Good luck matey!!!!
looks good dave. I would get it lowered and the pin stripe taken off the side and de-badge it. Get a GSI Bumper fired on and a gsi spoiler, it will look really cool after that! Not saying its not cool just now but it would make it look a lot better! looks better than mine. ha ha.
haha, the stripe is pretty gay, and it does need lowering, but i would only get a gsi bumper if it was the grey, as i couldnt match the paint, although i do like the normal bumper thats on it now, got a spoiler ready to go on, and hopefully got a sr interior coming soon!!
well not much has been done this week, few good and afew bad things though
good:
removed the dent from the boot, panel beating
hoovered the intrior and sorted out my boot
bad:
clutch has started making the legendary vauxhall sound, sounds like a squeeky hinge on a door
illegal tread on 2 front tyres (oopsy shouldnt of been wheelspinning) has about 1mm left
anyway here are some snap shots, hopefully tomorrow rayond is coming down with his sr interior for me, and we are going to have a little photoshoot
