Good work Nick, I look forward to seeing this at Billing :)
I do, i do. Stainless rules. I've replaced every single nut and bolt i can with stainless.
its been one of the best for a while , great ideas nick. Well executed.
Thanks fella, Its nice to hear a good reaction to some of the things I attempt. Trying to be a little different whilst remaining standardish is hard when its all been done before with novas!Quote:

Its a nice feeling isnt it. I spend loads on ebay buying it.
Will do Nick :)
Seeing it fitted is great, the spending on the other hand isnt as good, Its very surprising how much you can spend on shiny nuts and bolts!Quote:

Ive just put the battery on to charge to make sure its got plenty of life in it too. Carbon scuttle panel has made its way out of the loft and will go on this evening when I load the car up. Also since fitting the stubby mirrors I couldnt decide whether or not to cut holes in my carbon mirror blanks as I never knew if I'd decide to go back to manta items etc. But Im very happy with the stubby's so I used a spare set to get the correct hole location and marked them up...

Then at work using a cone drill the hole was made and slightly elongated to get the standard hole shape only smaller as Id checked and could still get full adjustment with a smaller hole. A quick file followed by a bit of wet and dry and there mounted up........

However Im afraid Thats it now, Ive called time on this project. I was going to put it up for sale before billing but I havent had the time to get some pics and do an advert. But a photographer mate has said he will get some great pics at billing hopefully and I'll use them on my return. Price wise Ive had a chat with quite a few people and decided on a price I think is realistic. Considering its spec and condition Im hoping I'll tempt someone! For anyone interested Im looking at £5250. The car wont have for sales signs in at billing but if you'd like to speak to me about it feel free to come over and have a chat. Im on with Jov this year. As said above an advert will go up in a week or so. I'll look forward to seeing you and yours cars at billing whatever the weather!
Nick.
