    Re: mk1 nova turbo-euro look

    cheers. its running avo coilovers all round. when i did the rear disc conversion i fitted the stub axles 20mm higher on the beam so 60mm springs=80mm drop so god knows how low it is with the avos on its bump stops lol. only catches slightly on off side but i think thats due to a bit of positive camber on that wheel. need to shim the stub axle to get geometry right

    4 spd 1.2 Nova

    Re: mk1 nova turbo-euro look

    Liking that. Colour compliments the polished alloy rims. mk1 bumpers too, nice choice.

    I would've soldered the loom not crimped it, hope it stays together eh?

    Any more plans?
