Weekend went will, made it there in one piece with no drama and collect it in a couple of weeks. Love having sixth gear, makes the motorway a bit more bearable.

Since the pics I have removed the cage and that has gone for powdercoating (Cheers Rick), also have new door handles and genuine boot vinyl to fit along with a flocked dash cowling.
Very very nice.
Best colour for a gsi
As said on Mig, looks stunning:)
How anyone can call a super clean GSI on Alessios, I don't know
Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Think the car will finally be complete this winter as there is nothing else I really want to do with it now after all these years.
Just need to show it off now. Even though you had a bad experience at PV last year, you should still think about attending this year with the car finished :)
I'm not one for showing cars off though, it is going to get hammered up York dragway a lot next year hopefully instead. Can't face sitting in all the traffic at PV with those seats and no tunes lolQuote:

Awsome car mate.
Luv the colour:)
What I ment Craig was people have said on here that people should try and find alternative wheels for novas and be more original. Also people have commented saying a gsi spec nova on alessios is not everyones taste. Personally I think its a winning combination, maybe it was the way I worded the original statement. I hope this makes it clearer
just read ever page of this thread!! excellent mate well done, it looks ace....
you've just kick started me back up again with completeing my nova build......
well done
stu
Few more bits and pieces done. Fitted my Wilwood 4 pots and new braided lines. Got a better pedal now.

Also bowed down to pressure and tried some smoked rear clusters instead of the clears. Still not decided on which ones i'll keep?

Just the wiring problem to still sort out :cry:
Apologies for picture quality, taken on I-phone.
Looks great Lee, going to billing?
Did you need spacers for the 4pots? If not what kit you running?
No, still having loads of electrical problems so got someone looking at it next weekend.Quote:

:( Shame its/your not going to Billing.
Where did you get the brake kit from?
Love the brakes and light, make the rear end work well together..
Swapped the brake kit and some wheels for my spare LET but you can get them from Rally Design, about £670 though!!
I'm not decided on the lights yet, going to leave them a bit and see if they grow on me.
£670???????????????/ Christ!
Yeah best way if to leave them and take pics or get a friend to drive it so you can see the over all affect the lights back.
Nice, those lights look better than clears.
Liking how the car sits in that side on shot.
Red lenses would look even better though IMO!
Or even just standard euro lenses (Ok they are now over done to fook, but they look well)
Euro FTW. Does look cock on lee.
Not buying any more lights to try on it, surprised myself buying the tinted ones tbh.Quote:
