    Lee,
    its taking over my life!!! will give you a call soon....the savings account will be put on hold for a bit This OCD is mad now. Think I will need to hire an accountant to deal with the Nova!!

    Phil,
    I'm still unsure I think because the body is so clean it suits any tail lights.

    Kev,
    Yeah I am glad I paid that extra bit for a very good example. The spec etc I could not build it anywhere near the money I paid for it plus there is not many shells like this left! (im back in Dubai now so will get in touch soon....just busy just now with a rig down)

    Cheers!
    Iv got full red rears forsale mate

    An excellent purchase fella, I should have bought it a while ago before committing to building my own. Personally I'd stick with the stock rear lights as they suit it perfectly. It needs no other changes whatsoever.

    Edit.... If you get the time please bring it to billing next year so we can all have a look round it!

    Nick.

    Scorge,

    sent you a pm.... can never have too many options

    Nick,

    Yeah its brilliant so glad I went ahead with it nearly bought it a few years back. Then spoke to Lee again and it was a case of if I don't buy it I will probably kick myself for not buying it. It really is a good example and I love the way the paint is nice and fresh and swirl free I don't plan on changing much....just little bits here and there nothing major as it doesn't need it. I think its more the case that I just want to buy things for it . I do plan on making a few shows next year, more just to get to know people and faces etc. I have been on here since 2006 and as you can see my post count isn't much . I know of most peoples cars on here so would be good to go down and actually see them. Would like to see your old cars....the finish to them looks brilliant and always wanted to see Keith's.

    Cheers!

    Hey Kev....updates will come soon enough not that it really needs much doing. Also need to have a look at it when I'm home. Just before I tucked it away I took it out for one last run, gave it some but when it was getting up the revs the engine management light was coming on and it was lumpy for say 2 seconds then fine....the air/fuel shows that it was running abit lean so unsure if this is a common thing or not?

    shopping list so far is :
    - carbon interior trim
    - black hoses for engine bay
    - smaller back box

    the next thing is....ideally I would like to buy a hybrid turbo but I'm kind of lost in this area as there seems to be to much variety so just trying to find out what manifolds + turbos others are using first. I am not looking for a powergain/ chasing figures etc. so far I am swinging towards the gt28rs but will do abit of research first. Tried phoning some places but as I am out of the country at the moment they don't seem to be picking up the phone ( must be showing up as international caller and thinking I am calling to help claim back their PPI )

    cheers!
