    Default Keith'S Nova resto W.I.P!!!

    Well bought this ages ago...and really only (very slowly) started working on it...really gonna get into gear tho as i want it out for the new year!

    I bought it for ?150 thinking it was in OK shape....totaly stripped it and found out its abit worse...good thing the bits that are bad are easily replaced...and since im a panel beater/bodyman....my dad is and my bro is...its not new ground for me...even tho i only turned 18 hehe!

    Im replaceing both arches both sills and front valance...plus patching everything up..

    Plans are:
    The shinest darkest blackest black respray
    GSi kit
    Speedlines
    Coilovers winded down(btw who does full coilover kits for novas...i.e coilovers in back too? FK?thanks)
    1.4SR with T40's
    Full ashley system
    Then after shes sorted some MTX I.C.E to get her shaking !


    Heres just afew quick pics...il get more up soon...il show you the rot (tear) Please leave all comments and criticism(sp) And thanks for lookings

    P.s excuse the dirty garage...shes in the"forgotten rusty garage" with my dads 4 Droopsnoots
