Sorry man not into them at all!
mk4 astra sri wheels maybe?
I like the Corsa wheels - I'll maybe go for something else in the future like
15" or 16" possibly :)
We had her out the day up at the local track as my mate was doing an auto-test
Took a couple of pics of her, can't wait to see her painted now like:

The back sits really well in the 4th picture down!
-80mm me thinks:thumb:
looking really nice man!
cant wait to see her beside mine!
Awful wheels, look Ronal teddy like almost
Like the irmy badges.
Shes down 60 all round man - Just because it was parked on un-even grass because on the other side its sitting higher lolQuote:

Does look tidy.
Are you having the primered bits professionally sprayed?
I hope you've cut out any rust on the rear arches because if not it WILL come back through again in no time.
Aye the back arches have been sorted very very well
And all the primered bits will be painted professionally - I think we're going to see about a price tonight
Paint the front wing, passenger sill, 2 back arches and paint and fit the spoiler...
Cool :)
They will have to respray the whole rear 1/4...
Don't know mate - I heard that the back arches were just being 'blown in'
My dad is organising it so I don't really know..
car will be faded, the colour will never match..
PS - still dont like them wheels on it :(
/\Hence why i said, they'll probably do the full quarter.
Fresh paint wont blend into 15year old paintwork unless they blow over the whole side of the car....
My GSi sideskirts before I painted them:

Here they are after a day or 2 of prep and 2 coats of Rover Hurricane Grey:

Vaughan!
Nice.
You going to do ya bumpers in that aswell thne otherwise will look out of place because it's not same colour.
The bumpers will stay original for now
If I'm doing bumpers it will be colour coded GSi ones
Looks great Vaughan!
Rover hurricane grey should be very similar to the colour of the bumpers anyway!
Good progress mate but no offence the wheels really spoil the car, 3 spokes have never suited any car! let alone the angular nova, as has been said before it's gonna need quite alot of paint to get it to match properley, if i was you i'd put new rear arches in the car before shelling out on painting, if they have been fixed with filler it's just time before the rust comes back out, it may appear that you have got all the rust out but trust me there will still be some there, theyre only about ?12 for the repair panels so if i was you this would be the first thing i did, good luck with the rest of the project mate, just take car when you pass your test not to smash the nova up or yourself, it's really easy to end up driving like an idiot when you pass your test as i did but i really aint worth it, anyway look forward to seeing the next update.
Cheers for that mate - I'll get it all painted up and mint in the future when I'm driving it
As my dad says: No point in spending all the money for it to be run about and pick up scratches and dents before I can even drive it
Which I'd say is a fair point
Waterpump and cambelt now fitted - Engines as sweet as a nut now
My dads doing a mini-service on it then it should be good to hit the long road to PV
Some pics after its 1st wash since October 2007 lol - Neglect ?
Only needs to be painted now, sideskirts fitted, spoiler painted and fitted and a couple of GSi interior pieces fitted

Date set for the painting of the car - Well touch-up's
Should be the week starting 5th May
I'll keep it updated to let you know if anythings happening or changing
Vaughan!
Got the inside pretty much finished off apart from a black dash and black door cappings - But there the least of my worrys lol
The full inside was black pretty much apart from the window winders and the door handles, but some Matt Black paint sorted that out!
