Its a irmscher sprint c kit, very rare in this country. The wheels are the original wheels for the body kit, also made by irmscher.
Im going to go with willwood 280mm brakes, and disks on the back. Hopefully have the brakes when i get back off holiday.
Spent some time last night soldering the loom ive run inside the wings, will finish that off tonght, as well as soldering my new battery terminals etc.
Passenger side headlight is fitted now but im having trouble with the drivers side as the inlet hose to the turbo is in the way of the headlight adjuster.
-
You need to cut the headlamp adjuster off unfortunately.
-
Yeah, i think im going to cut it down and fix a nut on the end of it,so i can remove the headlight and then adjust it. Pain in the ass!!!!!
-
I just left a bit of it on and can just grip it with pliers to adjust it but i'm lazy.
-
lol,ill proberly nether get round to actually putting the nut on.
-
Had some brackets welded on to the intercooler, so thats now fitted and the front end is all complete. The engine is now running and it all seems to be fine.
Going to kos on wednesday so when i get back ill get some new brakes and cv joints.

Heres some progress on he nova. Engine is finished for now, its starts first time and doesnt smoke. Ive made a good start on fitting a corsa gsi abs system, im going to try and mount the abs unit today.
Ive fitted corsa gsi rear hubs now, along with a new handbreak cable.
The back doorcards are coming together, ive got the correct shape now just need to trim them.
Basically its all coming together, the car will be on the road in september, but should be finished long before that.

I was begining to think this car would never get finished.As i havnt touched it for the last 6 months due to rebuiding a mk2 golf, but over the last two weeks ive cracked on with it as i want to go to all the shows this year.
Ive cut away the rear arches to cater for the wider wheels and have now properly fitted the wide arches and rear bumper.
The car is now all back to gether and today i took it out for its first drive in 3 years. It was wet and it just wheel spun as soon as i gave it some throttle. Then the engine started to miss fire and wouldnt rev over 3k.i put it back in the workshop going to have a look at it tomorrow.
All that is left to do is the respray, which im going to make a start on soon.
I will get some pics when i take it out tomorrow.
-
Good getting back into it :thumb:
Get some new pictures up please :D
-
heres a couple of pics of my golf. Ive just fitted some coilovers so the ride height is different to the pics now. Also ive had the interior retrimmed in black and cream leather effect material. I know its not as nice as real leather, but this car is being done in a budget. Ive almost finished building a new engine for it, a 2l 8v. Should give it a bit more go.
