A19 Nva

Well i brought this car early last year as a run around at first. 1 lady owner, 40k, mint bodywork, it was like a virgin asking to be played with though so i went to work adding a few bits id kept from my old nova....

how it started:

then got to work removing the bump strips etc and fitted an ashley exhaust to it:

whacked my old gte wheels on it:

lowered on the bargain suspension kit from halfords at the time:

At this point i was happy with it as a run around but things soon changed as i fell more and more in love with the little bleeder lol

so in went a set of monacos:

and a set of speedlines i got off baxter:

good work matey! looks spot on! the wings suit it down to the ground!

Is it possible to get in to the back seats with those buckets?

Looking good. Very tidy Nova.

reminds me a little of my old nova lol

Looks good mate - get some front window surrounds during the rebuild :)

Very tidy Nath.

I agree with burgo about the front crossmember/panel, needs painting so you can't see it through the big mouth.

Spot of brasso if its bare metal with no finish on it maybe? Use brasso with a cloth or if it really needs cutting back, some fine steel wool.

the cage is already chrome, just needs a clean up

Its not chrome, its alloy, and alloy will get dull over time. You need to polish it with autosol, and it will bring back the mirror finish.

Keith

As keith said autosol did wonders on mine lol

Liking the cage, yeah autosol worked well on my old fearless rear brace too.


Just need that arch sorting now ;)

looks the dogs mate.

really like that nova! Spot on mate!:thumb:

very tidy...just needs the arches sorted out.

so did u actualyy spray ur speedlines black and silver, because i saw a pic of ur car a while ago and decided to do the same to mine, well happy with it. sorry 4 nicking ur idea dude.

I love your car...:D
