Thanks, all the work is mainly bodywork. Going to get a timing belt kit for it and I have a coolant temp sensor for the radiator because it was over heating. Apart from that Its go to go:)

thanks nathan, yeh damm that orange peel :( i think the painter has been flatting it for a few days now. but looks like a good job so far.
still got the nova parked up and covered up :) hows little red riding hood doin? i know theres a red mk3 astra in antrim but dont know whats in it aint been taking to the lad yet...
the red nova was built into a rally car at harper rally prep , it was then sold on to a fella in liverpool ive had a yellow sr from then and im driving away at my silk violet one , ive just bought a saloon aswell mate , yeah there ahh yes yes it is red i seen it when barry was doin a delivery many moons ago didnt think it was still on the scene , will have to see the gsi again keep her all wrapped up untill summer mate :)
you've sure got the nova bug nath, i will get pics of the astra up soon. nearly all exterior work is complete, just interior to get in and cleaned :)
