    Default My c20xe nova

    Have had this car almost 12 months now and now started playing with it myself I thought I would start a bit of a project thread to see what people think.

    When I bought the car the conversion had already been done and in all fairness in the 12 month I have had it its never let me down which I was shocked at with it being a redtop haha.

    Car when I first had it




    The corsa c wheels were replaced for speedlines and lowered the coilovers a little more



    Then I had a gsi kit sprayed and fitted



    My coilovers then ceased so I replaced them for a brand new set of spax adjustables and polybushed the whole car except the front ARB as that was removed.

    Then it was into the interior I had a black gsi dash which I put in instead of the grey one then fitted a cage and boarder the rear out and carpeted it



    As we speak the engine is out.. I am fitting twin 45 webers,piper fast road cams and have ported and polished the head.. Here's a few pics of that. The engine was also resprayed







    Just waiting on a few parts for it all to go back in. Just bought a new exhaust for it full stainless system and that's about it for now

    That has crossed my mind doing the skirts black cause its currently having some bits touched up here an there so may get them sprayed well I'm at it cause I got a splitter to go on bumper which will be black. Thinking of puttin the gsi decals on aswel including the boot vinyl.
