[puss puss]

Hey my names nathaniel am doing a merchanics course at suffolk college i enjoy that a lot and have just finished but will be going back for a second year.

I have a vauxhall nova mk2 1.0 litre life, i passed my driving test june 18th so i have been out and about ipswich getting use to the roads.

Heres a couple of pictures.



thats how she stands to date but without the wheel trims i also fitted cab gsi slabs for a sort period of time but they rubbed due to 55 profile tyres here is some pictures.



I have a song xlpode headunit up front with infinty commponment speakers ill get some pictures up of them small.

I have changed both front calipers including brake pads with standard front calipers here is a couple of pictures showing you.

And here is my sub going in as soon as
1. get a alarm sorted.
2. build a shelf.
3. save up my pocket money and get a amp.

Sorry if the pictures are a bit big if someone could pm me or link me how to make them smaller using image shack i would be very grateful.

My W.I.P thread has been remade mainly because of the amount of flaming etc on the old one. i would first like to say am sorry and would like to put a stop to all this.
second if a kind admin could get ride of the old one it would be most grateful.

My plans are so far
A Mono block amp for my sub.
A parcel shelf so no-one can see it.
A decent alarm.
New front and rear seats (god i hate seat covers!)
gsi front bumper with front and rear gm sport mudflaps.
resprayed in black or scobby blue
archs weilded up and any rust removed
a nice exhaust back box.
Bigger engine when insurance allows of course

Post away and feedback but please keep flaming to a min. if you dont like something explain why (about the car) your allowed to express you views on the car

thanks for taking the time to read my thread. Enjoy.

Nat.

Lol i noticed that you had made a 2nd WIP and thought WTF!...

Anyway - good luck with it, your arches are worse than what mine were but they should clean up ok. (or just replace them if you do get a respray!)

Love the colour of ya car maby give it a polish and clean up the WHITE STAINS on the bumpers!

The sub you have looks decent wouldn't mind 1 of thoughs myself, just make sure you def get an alarm fitted as Novas usually get stolen.

As for the stuff you want to do here is what i think.

**IN YOUR WORDS**
My plans are so far:-
A Mono block amp for my sub - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
A parcel shelf so no-one can see it. - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
A decent alarm. - GOOD IDEA.
New front and rear seats (god i hate seat covers!) - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
gsi front bumper with front and rear gm sport mudflaps. - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
resprayed in black or scobby blue - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
archs weilded up and any rust removed - GOOD IDEA
a nice exhaust back box. - SORT OUT THE RUST ON YA CAR 1ST.
Bigger engine when insurance allows of course - YOU HAVE JUST PASSED WAIT A YEAR TILL YOU GET USED TO THE CAR. THAT'S IF YOU HAVN'T WRITTEN IT OFF IN A YEAR.

p.s i'm not, and i quote "flaming you", i am just giving you my opinion on the best way to tackle your car. Start with fixing up the body work that could save your life in a crash.

Keep up the work and update with pics... GOOD LUCK.

Got any front shocks going spare ???

[puss puss]

[NovaLad]

Don't know... Do i need to change my front shocks when i put my GMAX springs on?

[puss puss]

if its just the springs they can go on normal standard shocks. or u can get uprated shocks with uprated springs
