Peesters Little Project: My return to novaism. (Lots of pics)

Ive found it a bit tricky ordering the parts over the last few weeks as you have to lay-it-out on the bedroom floor lol, with no car nearby for referance..
If ive missed or forgotten anything - it might be too incovenient for the garage to stop, leave the car half done, stored; waiting for more parts to be ordered..
The 'last of the few' bits came this morning, but for some reason ide ordered 2m of hose and need 3m (to cut into a 2m and 1m lengths)..
So ive now ordered 1m. Then just this bracket welding and fitting.
As well as the fuelling parts ive had to sort oil, filter, plugs, drain plug and recovery to the rr. Little fiddly bits.

... and I'm knackered. Also I must hang my head in shame on not seeing this before.

What a cracking build you've made of this, loving obviously the X18 and bodies, did you manage to sort all the fuelling then as I've noticed it's been a while since your update lol
Really like the ideas throughout your project though, especially the MK1 flocked dash, just seems to give it more of an edge, and the gear selector looks the dogs danglers.

Also what's the plans for this for 2012 besides enjoying driving it are you planning any shows?

Hopefully see this one day and hats off to a very cool car :)

David.

lol wasnt expecting to see this , this morning..
Thanks southie. In a nut shell nothing has happened. About 5 days after last update (around 1st July 2011) an opportunity came up to move out of parents home, into my own little flat. So i did. I then proceeded to spend all my nova mapping money on flat deposit, rent in advanced, then it got spent on kitting the place out a bit, then in August i changed my daily hack swapping the tired old Vec for nicer mk4 astra. Then obviously with new bills out goings etc it now just takes me a lot longer to do any saving.
I do still have the car and hope to finish it, it actually plays on my mind loads thats its taken 2 years odd just to get it mapped. But as said, its really tricky , as for anyone really, to save hundreds of pounds up. But hopefully this year i will and it'll happen.
Ive not really yet thought about any 'what if i dont?' scenarios.. Im just glad thus far ive not had to sell up, to fund moving out i guess.

Was it that much of a surprise, almost morning wood lol

Glad you've still got it and haven't had to sacrifice all your hard graft, look forward to you getting the money together and getting this properly setup, also next time it gets mot'd use it lol

Has Mazz still got the cage stored for you lol

lol, just surprised someones asking about it . We'll see how it goes, i think the brakes (servo system) may need some attention for next MOT.
I got the cage off mazz a while back, its at my brothers house/garage now so im able to garage my daily car at the flat.

Thought there was a update then! Nice to see you haven't given up on it or had sell it/stuff to fund the house...Have you got it at your new gaff then now, as iirc you said you had a garage?

I guess there is a little more ive done since last update, getting the car prepped for mapping. But pics are on an old broken pc; need to get the hard-drives out of it..
I still keep the car where it was Chris, i actually filled the garage here at the flat with all our unit/lockup junk when we left the farm back in may last year. But since august we've had another lockup, (near stoke :-s ) but not one to keep the car at really - just all our things.
So at least now the flat garage is empty and available but im currently keeping the daily in there.

Just been reading through this tread and may i well done mate thats the muts nuts keep up the good work an get it finished :-)

*NotreallyanUpdate
Im having urges to sod it and spend some savings i shouldnt touch to get this thing map'd. lol.
Looking to book it next week i think. Fed up lol.

Do it!
