Gunny's '83 Nova (VXR)
Well, im back again and i think a projects page is in order, however this one wont be done over a couple of days like the ones in the past lol :roll:. So the idea is, mint the nova up, couple of subtle mods here and there (nothing major) keep it old school and original-ish. So its a 1983 'Y' plate pov spec nova, it has all the old school attributes: no side repeaters, no passenger mirror, no rear seat belts, however it has front headrests and a rear washer/wiper set up...? Anyway heres a couple of pics of the car, ive lowered it 60mm all round, currently has a side exit exhaust too, the plans are, get my alesios, soonish, give the interior a good clean, mint up the body work, bling the engine bay and put a new exhuast on it.

-
nice base to start with there :thumb:
Mk1 FTW !!!!!
like the colour also
-
ALSO will be selling the window surrounds when i can be arsed to remove them, i have 2 sets now lol
-
i wasn't complaining lol just looked like a standard tip but side exit... Is it calypso red? or just another red, hard to tell
-
lol ok, it is a standard tip, the bend over the rear axel is where the center sections been cut and theres no back box, so its a little loud lol. it looks calypso red in pics but its more of a bronze colour, someone said carnillion red? or something like that anyway
-
Its not calypso red its something like karnelot (sp.). The side exit was something me and my mates did when bored. Was cool for 5 minutes but then gets loud as it basically destryed the silencer.
Good to see you've got a project thread up. Will be watching with interest!
-
mmm need to loose the side exit mate!! nice old nova mate, well done

lol it was novel to me too, then as said, quickly got boring haha! is that your new one then andrew? the loon..
