    Nova TD Dhafts also do the trick when mated to the Cav Mk2 Inner CVs. Whats wrong with the Recaros in it anyway mate? Looks good But i like the square arches on it to be honest.
    I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    won the 1.4 nova for 72 quid ! , comes with some basic alloys , and nice inside .. should have everything i need.

    could have got it for 50 quid , but did not act quick enough .. but thats life.
    sure its saved me some money .. so i just need some mk2 cav inners now ....

    Saloons and 5 doors have the round arches, judging my the size of the re ar bumper, the pickup was based on a saloon, hence the round arches.
    If your doinf the bodywork then id definatly swap the front arches to 3doors ones and blend some box arches on to the back.

    now any sane person would put an XE in this nova.. not gut it ... but its not the first time people just think i am daft.

    anyone want the shell/parts of this nova once i am done with it ??
