Still want to put some anti-slip stuff in the footwells and make up some doorcards but it's pretty much there now.
Photoshopped TBH, Noway is your Nova Finished!

Simps yeah I am enjoying it, there's been no breakdowns or problems so far so well chuffed with its reliability (last build was a nightmare, so many problems). Plenty of power from the XE without taking it above 4000rpm (as I'm running it in) and it handles amazingly (I'll admit the last build handled like crap but this is fantastic). Absorbs the bumps well and doesn't crash about. And it's not even aligned yet so the tracking is probably miles out!
Happy day eh! Looks really smart, well your a happy-chappie
Glad its on the road.
Good stuff Iain! (wheels need a refurb imho)
My Revolutions are currently with my painter John, and I have some new 195/45R15 T1Rs waiting to go on them.
Now that will be awesome! :)Quote:

Looking good Lemon, glad she is finally done, national weekend her first club outing then?
Oh and get some bloody bumper gel on them poorly bumpers:p
Will look awesome on the new wheels, what colour are they going to be?
Should have got better tyres than T1Rs though ;) Hankook RS2 is similar to R888 but costs much less
Yeah Spud probably :) Got a mate who's going to clean and wax it so I'll get him to treat the bumpers lol
I chickened out bright colours and they're going silver, wooooow exciting lol I've always liked T1Rs, while I'm racking up the road miles to get it all bedded in they'll be perfect.
Good, will be good to finally see her again, it seems like about four years ago since that cold night in donny when i randomly bumped into you at 'donny krooze' lol
All being well i should be in my xe nova at nats aswell (better had be as ive booked it and used that reg:eek:)
Goodo on the valet/polish she will look awesome, and white wheels wouldve been soooo much win tbf:p
nice!:)Quote:

And after seeing it up on the ramps at the mot it's honestly a credit to u - a really good build.
Pretty rubbish update but I'm struggling for things to do on this car now, got 800 miles on the clocks without one single breakdown, success lol
Set my mates off snow foaming, washing, and waxing it:

This wing worried me as it didn't clean up when I cleaned it myself:

But my mate worked his magic on it and it came up lovely:

My job was the bumpers, but my puny heat gun wasn't good enough to do anything major, so need to get a better gun and have another bash at them lol
