Jelly's £75 Classy Nova (56k no!)

[jelly]

A recipe for creating a classy nova just like jelly's lmao (Novaography)

Step 1. Buy Car from scrappy for £75 with 31K on the clock:

Repair damage to cheapy car

Add a RED go faster stripe to make all the difference

set in the freezer over night..

quickly become sick of the standard interior

add some 'non' gsi clocks... (thanks Benn..)

and a steering wheel that doesn't give you blisters:

in a 'SAFE' area: test redline

..and top speed.

tinker with other interior bits 'n pieces to smarten in up a bit


(i've made loads of the above if anyone wants one ...)
Then you drive at night and realise that the nova dash lighting is rather..rubbish.
solution:


play with some plasma sheeting and do the clock too..

hmmm

borrow over-head lighting from easyjet no smoking please!

add some control switches and a 'bong' circuit

ensure they glow for maximum affect

Next install over-sized Big-foot wheels and tyres lmao

and lower by 40mm

brighten up the boring steering wheel




and finally...


if your man enough....



lmao

What's squirting out the grille?

[Benn]

might be near on..but just where the steering lock comes on,
more noticeable cause of the yellaw band,

[Johnny A]

where did you get the plasma sheeting from?

[jelly]

water from the grill


plasma sheeting is from model shops, but you can get it on ebay for sure. If your really interested i'll find the site i got it from.

[Violet]

I accidentally squirted a couple when I forgot to reconnect the headlight washers on my Gsi. They're powerful.

[jelly]

more powerfull when you get two of them...going through a Y junction into a single line

If you could please chap

the sheeting seems small when you first see it but you'll never use it all. Plus i'd get yourself a spare 12v inverter just incase you want do something else and you have some spare foil.

and finally bridge the powersupply to the inverter with a couple of capacitors: (maybe 100uF and 0.1uF). That'll get rid of the ringing it can cause on the radio, when its switched on. That will work for the indiglos too if anyone has this problem.

[jelly]

Do you think it deserves a mig sticker? .. or is that lowering migs standard too far?

[lewism1987]

did you get all the v5 etc from the scrappy? no service history etc i know. seems a mint little motor for no money.

[jelly]

was cat D so i got the v5

no s/h but only had one owner and i dont think the back seats/doors had ever been used!

[jelly]

ahh terrible
