16v track Nova WIP

[kevw]

After many requests I've put a WIP post in here

This is my newly bought 2.0 16v (semi) track ready Nova SRi. I originally bought it for the parts but will now put my other shell on hold and get this ready for PV using some of my parts intended for my other shell. After that the engine will be used in my other shell and I might source an SRi engine to put back into this.

Plans:

• Re-paint inside and cage
• Re-paint engine bay
• 2 new MK2 wings
• MK2 grille and lights
• 2 doors
• Sort out wiring, switches and clocks
• 2 new seats (from my other one)
• GSi bumpers
• Big brakes

That should make it respectable enough for PV and I'll finish my other shell for next year

Some of the parts used will come from my boxes of stocks that are ready for my other shell and will eventually be transferred over.

Heres some pics as it is at the moment (after a wash)

Mk2? NOooooooo

That will look tidy with new doors, and a few bits repainted

First delivery arrived this morning, a brand new original GM GSi front bumper:


I ordered this before I got the valver and it was intended for my other shell and will eventually be used on that one.

It doesen't feel right driving a MK2 with a MK1 front end!!

I think the car looks great as it is :D
Are the bumpers staying unpainted? Something awesome about unpainted/ dark grey GSi bumpers (like Nick's) :D

Are the bumpers staying unpainted?

Probably, I know what you mean, they look standard but different. I'll try it and see what it looks like!

Doesnt look like she needs much work to get it sorted mate.

How much did Mr Vauxhall charge for the bumper if you don't mind me asking.

[kevw]

Sent you a PM Ian

Did you order the bumper from Vauxhall? I held off as the EPC said it comes in grey primer. If its bare plastic I'll get one!
