ah even better then dude,
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
Tiny update.
With Andy Bishop sorting me out with my Intercooler, i've had to do a bit of trimming to the front panel for more room.
Before
Measuring
Cant go past these spot welds and the lip.
Yeehoo
And were done....
Well not quite. I still need to remove about 3mm off the lower panel too, but ran out of cutting discs (i only had one and its tiny)

If your keeping it the same as your last one then keep the same colour imo as that car looked stunning.
Couldn't think of anything good to put in here.
the colour it is,has grown on me...would look great freashly paint and shiney in that...

I'd thought about it, but i want to move away from my old car and have something a bit fresh as i had it for 5 years. As nice as it was, i got fed up looking at the same colour for so long.

ow baby,
Nothing worth talking about.
Thursday 7th June were taking it to england (from NI) to Dudley to get dipped. While its away i can get to work on sorting everything i want powder coated, chromed, plated etc.
Should also have my new intercooler/rad/oil cooler home with me from the trip, so will have some nice pics of that!

Out of interest, how much is it costing you to get it dipped?
Nick.
£1500+vat

Bloody hell!!! Didn't think it would cost that much! This is going to be 1 mint nova! My eyes are peeled!
Small Update.
I've finished trimming the front panel now. Just a little more work needed. I have to cut some holes out to fit the grill as the front panel doesnt accept a Mk2 grill! (trust me to use such an old shell lol)
Also picked up a fair few parts from vauxhall. Fuel pump holder, new cast exhaust section for the turbo, some fixtures and fittings.
New plug cover, want it powder coated red. And inlet top hat gasket for when i get my enlarged top hat.
Fuel Pump Bracket
Various new vaux parts
Cast section for the down pipe on the turbo and to hold the lambda sensor.
I've got 3 spare's of these if anyone wants one PM me, you have to buy them in packs of 4.
