    Default Gunny's '83 Nova (VXR)

    Well, im back again and i think a projects page is in order, however this one wont be done over a couple of days like the ones in the past . So the idea is, mint the nova up, couple of subtle mods here and there (nothing major) keep it old school and original-ish. So its a 1983 'Y' plate pov spec nova, it has all the old school attributes: no side repeaters, no passenger mirror, no rear seat belts, however it has front headrests and a rear washer/wiper set up...? Anyway heres a couple of pics of the car, ive lowered it 60mm all round, currently has a side exit exhaust too, the plans are, get my alesios, soonish, give the interior a good clean, mint up the body work, bling the engine bay and put a new exhuast on it.









    battery tray isnt too bad:



    both inner chassis legs look good:

    ok, it is a standard tip, the bend over the rear axel is where the center sections been cut and theres no back box, so its a little loud . it looks calypso red in pics but its more of a bronze colour, someone said carnillion red? or something like that anyway

    Its not calypso red its something like karnelot (sp.). The side exit was something me and my mates did when bored. Was cool for 5 minutes but then gets loud as it basically destryed the silencer.

    Good to see you've got a project thread up. Will be watching with interest!
