    Default my gte track car w.i.p

    well i finally found a reasonable nova gte to start my track project with :D







    stripped the interior only to find some rather bad tin worm hiding under the drivers foot well and the passenger rear foot well!!!oh: oh: , so welded all that up, removed all the nasty sound deadening:rolleyes: ready for paint!!

    the plan!!!

    6 point fia cage
    fia cobra buckets
    fia 6 point harness
    sparco steering wheel and boss
    fire extinguisher
    fia battery box to move the battery to the rear foot well
    floor plates
    powerflex bushes
    spax rsx coilovers
    front and rear strut braces
    flocked dash

    all ordered this evening:D :D :D

    then ill start playing with the e16se as i want to keep it rather than go the 16v xe route like everybody else seems to,

    pics of todays work in the morning

    car looks clean enough (down to amber indicators).

    Rust is pretty minor.

    Good luck.
