| Looks a good base to build on. The paint soesn't look brilliant in the pics, might just be the camera but the door looks a diff colour to the quarter.
As I said, could be the camers??????

| looks a really nice nova.if it was mine i would get the silver bits taken off the top of the bumpers and get them colour coded and just have a cool lourves(sp?) bonnet(no vent)and in my eyes that would be perfect.its a really nice colour what is it? | |

| thats the thing, i dont know what shade of blue it is, this is my only concern about having things painted on the car as i dont want it to look like a patchwork quilt all different shades of blue, im thinking its bmw topaz blue as the guy that built the xcar worked for bmw and as stated it was built from a bare shell so thats my thought although i may be wrong | |

| Also, i don't think your harnesess are supposed to be attached to the C pillars. As if you get shunted from the rear and your C pillars bend your belts will go slack.
