Project Nova Antibes 1987

[Dose]

Well folks finally managed to get time to get some pics of the new nova antibites...she is rather clean i must say with only 46k miles on her with full service history 8O ...Even the original tape deck(which wrks) and standard alarm system 8O
She drives like new,starts first time no knocks,clunks,bangs,smoke etc...as u would usually expect to find on a motor this age...
I have big plans for this wee motor where some folk will disagree as they think it should be kept in its original form...sorry chaps but shes getting modded ::
The first day i clapped eye's on it i decided i wanted it ...so i got it(not bad for it not being up for sale :wink.What made me buy it was the shell i have owned a few novas as folk know but this is fooking clean...no rust under the bonnet wat so ever or rear arches 8O ...never modded in any way (well...there was a magic tree)...
have tooken a good few pics just to show how good a shell the car actually is...I lowered her today and fitted new wheels.just over the winter before she stars getting the real treatment :wink:
picked the wheels up from the paint shop yesterday..well happy with the finish.
can fit your head inside the wings 8O





Car is a bit minging in pics due to fooking roads atm but u get the gist of it.
Will get some decent day time pics wen it settled down etc..
future plans include
C20xe conversion(not standard :wink: ) - parts ordered.
V6 brakes all round - front here.(bias system to control rear)
Coilovers - in the works
light smoked windows all round.
clear front indicators.
front and rear strut braces(lower if i can get one)
poly bushed
all components stripped and painted 8)
Not to sure about interior yet..
but Full weld in cage.
wiring loom lenthened and hidin under bonnet(lights loom etc)
SR window surrounds.
Electric windows(maybe)
Central locking accompanied by full alarm/remote start etc from CARTOYZ.
5 stud conversion
Exterior wise considering full GTE or SR kit finished in grey
will keep all the updated stuff posted and post as many pics as possible.
