    Default White GSI project

    Heres a few snaps of my white gsi nova. I picked it up looking pretty clean, but needing a tidy up. It arrived with astra GTE wheels on which didnt look right, so i borrowed a set of cav gsi wheels off my mate. And was looking like this for a few weeks.










    Then i decided to take her off the road and give her a tidy up...Finished off the undersealing job that the owner before started. Also cleaned the engine bay and fitted new headlights as the clips were broke on originals.
    Then a cheap set of 2nd hand speedlines came up with brand new tyres so i snapped them up. Also fitted clear side repeaters.





    Still to come are new windscreen, laguna splitter, V6 brakes, half roll cage, full respray in the winter and full interior retrim.
    This is my 1st nova and i love it, even with just the small 1.6 engine its such a fun car.

    Now it looks like everyone elses with speedlines on.

    Seriously tho looks nice clean car which is what matters, but wheels gotta go for something different. Speedlines been done to death.

    Cheers for the comments folks...Speedlines are staying for now, original plan was a set of astra SRI wheels in 4 stud, but these came up cheap with good rubber so coudlnt say no!
    Finished undersealing here today, got a bit in my eye which nearly killed me it was that sore but its worth it

    Getting new windows fitted tomorow aswell, so should look mega clean.
    Trying to source a roll cage, half with a x cross. Preferably painted in white but would also take polished...any suggestiongs where to look?
