Not really as prices in London for a flats are ridiculous let alone a house with a drive and garage. I can keep the Nova at my parents (garage) and crack on there.

fair enough, im glad i dont live down that way. i guess wages reflect the area you work in?Originally Posted by Nova_Tek
I would reinforce the slam panel in the middle like standard or add bonnet pins
On my nova turbo after removing the centre brace and cutout for inlet pipe it was very weak and bonnet would creep up at high speeds
update
small update for this weeks work, bought an 80mm diamond tipper hole saw to make a large enough hole in a spare headlight.
lots of lube and low/medium speed cut me a hole in the glass...
bonded the ducting ring down and then cut a large hole on the other side to fit the ducting through, came out quite well and a nice little mod for the track.
next on the list was to re-arrange my harnesses, after a couple of minor test drives i found the clips rattled about too much on the eye bolts. made the decision to wrap around the rear brace, done some research on how to fit them on correctly as i didnt want any bad accidents from neglect.
to save the paint on the brace i bought some clear protective film, might be a bit overkill though.
whilst messing about with the height of the rear it came to my attention that lowering it more gave me more clearance from the coilover spring, i ditched the 3mm spacers and slammed it to the floor to check for other clearance issues. with it almost on the bumpstops the next thing it rubbed on was the cage bolts that come through the arch. i had a bout 15mm excess thread which could potentially pierce the tyre if i hit a big bump. so i cut all 8 down so this would ever be a problem.
i noticed while playing with the coilovers that the springs were hefty enough for what my needs for the car were, 10 inch 160lb. ive seen on here people like 300lb springs so wanted to get a pair of these, i rang gaz and they suggested to go for a 9inch spring in 300lb. they arrived yesterday and got them fitted today. (old ones for sale)
adjusted to a reasonable height, may bring it up a touch.
another track item i made at work.
have also been slowly buying items for my trailer as ive never had them before.
set of 4 wheel straps.
breakaway cable
i did put the car on the trailer the other day and found out the novas too front end heavy for it. my old red gte was ok, also didnt have to worry about the wheels getting scratched on the side runners. so the trailers up for sale.
need to start sorting out the paintwork as it still needs mopping, front bumper painting and other bits dealing with as im not happy.
thanks for looking

How much is the trailer?
just posted a thread in cars for sale section.
Headlight intake looks great.
Is it safe to have the harnesses around a bolted in strut brace? Assume it's a nice sturdy steel item like rollcage/CDS tube?
Coilovers look good, good thinking on the paint protection.
