Cheers Simps. Would like to relocate stuff to scuttle area but I have no cover for it and not enough skill to make one so would just look mega untidy in there then!!

would u ever consider black samcos?obviously no more space to be gained but they'd prob give a less cluttered look.

The lights are staying as everyone comments on how much they hate them but I like them

Re: Nova Turbo project
Finally got my finger out and insured the thing. Got MOT booked on Tuesday now so going to have to check everything over this weekend as brakes still feel spongy.

Also on a quick spin up my street noticed i'm getting blue smoke under boost, hope it clears up and is just oil sat in the manifold from when the turbo failed originally.

Its due back in the bodyshop for finishing on the 18th October so its first proper trip is going to be about 100 miles, should have timed things a bit better really. Can see an epic breakdown looming already.

Re: Nova Turbo project
Here are some pictures with it cleaned up a bit now, used for the agreed value on my insurance.













Since the pics I have removed the cage and that has gone for powdercoating (Cheers Rick), also have new door handles and genuine boot vinyl to fit along with a flocked dash cowling.
