i thought i may as well make a project thread
i bought this car from archie at christmas 2009
120 mile drive home in a 1.0 4 speed isnt fun haha, i spun it on the way home in the snow which wasnt a good start to my nova ownership
the car now has a c14se fitted to it which i aquired from a mate who had a damaged corsa but the engine was fine
i took the engine gearbox and brakes off and fitted them to my car
the cars now running FK coilovers on the front pretty much lowered as far as they can go and has custom rear springs which are about 100mm i think with spax shocks
also has a sparco strut brace aqnd is fully poly bushed at the front, im gonna do the rear soon. its a pretty stiff ride but handles really well
next mods were a gsi dash and digi dash, wasnt actualy too hard to fit and wire in using the guide on here and my trusty haynes manuals
my gf bought me some richbrook stuff aswell to make inside look better , i also retrimmed my doorcards with black fabric which actualy look quite good just need some gsi door cappings now
also has an astra gte bonnet vent, the car came with black alloys but i resprayed them white
after lowering
now has gsi glovebox
the car is going to be painted hopefully this week so the engines coming back out so the bay can be done as well
its getting 2 new sills put on tomorrow and i need to fit another door i have sitting as the other 1 is rotten inside
ive already replaced the other door its also had rear arch panels aswell which were done before i bought the car
