Project Winter Freshen Up

[MARTIN KELSON]

Not much of a update but iam still messing before it goes back on the road.

After having the beam powdercoated & new bracket welded for bottom shock to mount to i wasnt happy with the way the rear shock now sat in the bracket. It must be slightly straighter than the standard Nova so didnt want to nicely poke out the top.
Cant really tell by this picture but it looked slightly forced.



Quick mail to Gaz & they were boxed up to be sent back. They are swapping the bottom bushing for a rose joint so it can go at the correct angle. Hopefully they will be back next week.

Also picked wheels back up today.
Went in the end for Gunmetal grey with a semi Matt laquer.
Not happy with the centre caps so will be speaking with them tomorrow.






Take no notice of how its sitting, as i have no rear coilovers the rear suspension is literally a house brick between shell & rear beam!!

The wheels look sexual buddy, really suit the car

Those center caps colours are miles away from the wheels, thats quite bad tbh

Yea Chris not happy with the caps.
Spoke to them today & i have posted them back. The say it was was because the wheels were powder coated & caps wet painted but they said they should have been a closer match than that.
Anyway there going to see what they can do. I said if you cant get them any closer then to do them semi matt black so it doesnt look like a poor colour match!

Still think you need smaller tyres though ! :-)

I did wonder about that^ they look huge...

I'm unsure on the wheels tho, maybe when the rides back in place i'll like them more..
