Vaughan
it needs red mirror covers and afew tweeks
may have a go on ps if i can be ****d lol
Grey mirrors match all the other grey extras I thought
The mirror covers are brand spankers also ;) lol
You colour code the caps and it breaks it up a bit because you will still have the black around the coloured bit.
Best mod you will do lol
Done red mirrors before it got all stripped
Some of the old skoolers will remember the car 'PNG 1' that gave me the idea of the grey mirrors and also Chris Thomson's Nova 'K6 CDT'
I still prefer the grey ones lol
this is what you want:

Ive got a mint gsi interior if your interested???? beer token prices!
cheers
craig
Aye mate come up and see me I'll PM you :)
I noticed my air-filter was getting a bit warm once we had been out and about in the car
So my dad got me a Mk4 Astra intake pipe from a scrap-car and we cut a hole out the plastic/rubber bit that surrounds the radiator on the Nova
We then routed it so it was coming directly from the front of the car and leading right inside the air-filter
Hopefully this should make a difference to the temperature going into the filter
Went to the scrappy today to be greeted by a 1993 K reg Nova Spin in white with, wait for it, 15k miles on the clock - Unbelievable!
Interior mint, boot mint, engine bay mint - Passenger door mint!! Which came home with me for £30
I also got the parcel shelf out it which is as new condition and the boot strut as mines was leaking
There was a Calibra there as well and I nabbed another set of Heated seat switches and an original Grundig 303 radio
All of the above came to £50 for me and I thought it was money well spent
Till the next time, Vaughan :D
nice wan lad
Cheers mate :)
Get yours legal!!!!
get mine legal lol. get some pics up of that door
lol Aye I will later lol
Me and my dad are going to have a crack at stripping the windows out
no bother
yur new wheels are 100% better than the old ones!
Did you lacquer them?
No mate I didn't...
Don't know if I should though - Been all polished up though
Mini update:
My new / scrap door - Its about 98% mint
I was rubbing down some of the surface rust on the bottom of the door and there was an odd looking patch kind of in the middle
Rubbed it down a wee bit more and it became a wee slight hole *as will be shown on the pics below*
Kept cracking on with the rest of the door and its truely mint - Needs a good dust out from the inside but heres some pics - Still a bargain for £30 I'd say:

Cheers, Vaughan
loooking good neihbour
Cheers fella :)
door looks pretty good, get the rust all away and get the welder out :D fill up the hole, problem solved :thumb:
Aye I think we will do it - Most of the rust has came off with a light sanding :)
Put some Etch Primer on it today to stop it getting any worse
No doubt when it goes for paint it will be sanded off and done properly lol
bullet hole - car it came off was probably a pimp mobile owned by a gangsta granny! Giving it large in Tesco carpark - got into a "ting" wid one of the homegrannies on isle 3 and she got a cap popped in her door!
Looking at the angle i reckon the shooter was all bent over - I plame the zimmer frame...
lol
The holes an easy fix matey. If you aint got a welder you could clean up both sides really well (make sure absolutely NO rust), etch prime it then make up a small metal patch for the back and epoxy resin it in place. Then just skim over woth filler...
Alternatively if you can wait till the meet and can hang fire fitting it I could pop down with me welder...
Aye it won't be fitted for a good while yet mate
You can come down and weld it if you want - Would be interested to see how it would be done :)
also - I'd lacquer the wheels. Just a couple of coats - it'll protect them from stone chips and other scratches.
No probs - will pop down the Sunday morning...
What time at mate ? Pop down to my house and then we can convoy to the meet ?
vaughans wee nova looks the part in person..was really impressed with it at the weekend..nothing too fancy but its certainly clean enough and well looked after.:thumb:
cant wait til we are 17 lad, get out and about in the novas..will be awesome!;)
