    Coming together nicely, I also prefer the factory red.

    Went on a roadtrip in the Escort and bought some carbon kevlar doors and wings and a fibreglass tailgate for the nova from lee hearseys old race car, and some bucket seats, going to try and make it as light as possible, ended up popping into VBOA at billing while i was down there, also got a lightweight racing battery, fitted a new alloy radiator, hoping to make some big progress on this car very soon.

    Took the interior floor back to bare metal, epoxy primed everything and re seam sealered all the seams, painted carmine red and pumped the chassis full of dinitrol chassis wax.

    I've stripped another GTE that has been sat since 1998, and have all the parts now to fully restore mine to factory spec. Apart from it having a C20LET

    I did have it and the sleeve, but I sold them as I'm not using them anymore with the cavalier shifter.

    Courtenay sport 6 point rollcage, from their old purple nova turbo MAP18W, I've had it powdercoated grey colour matched to the nova interior

    I have the whole car stripped to bare metal and epoxy primed now, and a big front mount intercooler.
