The OZ's are now FOR SALE if anyone is interested as I am looking for a set of MO's... AGAIN!
The OZ's are now sold and i'm hopefully getting a set of 15" white MO's.
On another note, as it was sort of nice yesterday I done some work on the Nova.
Firstly, because I still had the air con fan left from the Corsa I decided to fit it to the Nova and replace the overly large standard one which looks poop.
I bought a fan fitting kit off eBay and set about getting it to fit. I managed to get it into a decent position were it wouldn't hit anything and got it fitted.
I then set about replacing the black vacuum hoses with red ones. I'm not 100% sure on these yet as I think it sort of makes the bay look a little messy wheras the black ones didn't stand out too much.
What are the green wires for. They stand out quite a bit. Red vac hoses look good!
The green wires are just a temporary repair to earth the alternator.Originally Posted by SimonTW
The other day, the top adjusting bracket snapped but was still tensioning the alternator but wasn't earthing it. I've ordered a new bracket so once that comes I can get it fitted and remove the green wires.
I'm liking the red hoses, it's like bloods flowing through the heart of the engine
Cheers Southie
I'm also having thoughts about getting another rocker cover and painting it crackle/wrinkle effect red? But then that may make it too much red...
Today was the day I decided to remove the sideskirts and see what was lurking behind them! Unfortunately there are a couple of small scabs in the drivers side cill and the bottom of the arch where it meets the cill on the passenger side has a few scabs/blisters. I'll have a proper look at "the situation" in the week and see what the bodyshop reckon!
Here's a couple of pictures with the sideskirts removed. With the new wheels I think it will look loads better than with them fitted!
I've also sold the OZ's and have purchased a set of 5x 15" Comp MO's that have just been refurbished and powder coated silver. I'm not too keep on silver so will be getting them painted anthracite when I get the money!

Cheers mate, still a bit more work to do to it before it's exactly how I want it but it's getting there!
Anyway, I've been spending all of my money on the Nova again like usual...
My new wheels arrived today and I'm very happy with them! It's a set of 5 so I can keep one as a spare in the boot (if it fits!) which will look much better than the steel. The colour isn't to my taste but in the future I shall get them repainted. They are in MINT condition and have only just recently been powder coated. I've ordered some blue centre caps which should arrive any day soon.
I've also bought a set of red ignition leads to go with the red theme and also a can of VHT wrinkle/crackle paint to do a couple of bits.
Also, after receiving a damaged euro rear fog light from Germany I got a replacement one and got it fitted along with a standard rear.
