    Default 1.2 3dr First car project

    Thought about making a post for this and decided why not? so here are a few pics of my nova when I picked it up.



    Then I got it home


    I'll get some more pics of it tomorrow once I've done some more work to it.

    As josh said it only had 2 sr Steels witch had different profile tyres on them so I had to put the normal steels on to drive it home as the car was wonky.

    As for my plans I need to get the rust holes done and then start work on bike carbs after that who knows

    I gave her a clean up today, I also fitted a grille I bought from josh the other day. I think it looks different, I've never seen a hatchback with one before.

    Then I set about making some repairs to the interior from parts I had lying around

    shame it had to be grey but it's better than it being broken


    Just a few more pics for ya

    The wheels before my sanding attempt


    The black one came up quite well


    The white one not so much

    The paint was so thick it was almost like someone had applied it with a brush
