Hi allan, no nothing really changed besides the tank and steering wheel. Basically theres not much else I won't to do with it now, except drive it.

If I stumble across a large sum of money then a full engine rebuild with alot more power would be cool. Also on the lookout for for a front pair or brown/yellow check sr seats but there not a big priority.

Sleeper styleee. Liking it.

1800lsi · 10-07-2008, 16:24

kool

been keeping my eye out for it. saw a nice white nova gsi the other day looked good going from the lights

**Update time** got my mountenay wheel fitted now, makes a huge diffrence over the granny style 2 spoke that was there before.

Also managed to get a new grille badge as the old one was all scratched up

Old one

And the new one kindly donated from andy as his nova is de-badged

And managed to get hold of a pair of early sr front seats, all good as i've still got the rear bench from my a-reg project.

Really chuffed at there condition considering they've came from a 1984 car.

Little wear on the drivers bolster

nova-myth · 14-08-2008, 15:44

And all fitted:

Thats all for now, shame as its off the road for now, but gives me a chance to get those little niggly problems sorted.

Thanks for looking.

Will hopefully have some form of update soon, got the car back on the road now, just needed the rear brakes adjusting for the mot.

Got an oil leak to take care of then i'll be getting my 4 branch manifold fitted.

Nice.

Dell Balallan · 26-10-2008, 16:19

Hey thats cool, wot a transformation!

good work!

Been meaning to update this, got my 4 branch fitted by my local garage and as it turns out it didnt fit, about 6 inches too short so must have been for a mk2 cav. Anyways a few welds later..

Then heat wrapped it

Pulls mich nicer now and the exhaust tone is much deeper.

After looking through the retro rides website the other day I found a company called isle of wight graphics (that do graphics funnily enough) so I sent them an email with the dimensions and got two of these for £5 delivered

Really happy with the quality of them and at a very good price, I highly recommend them to anyone whos after some graphics made up.

it looks stunning on them wheels

nova-myth · 01-12-2008, 01:07

Cheers, thinking of doing them gloss black, also needs lowering as the courtenay springs are only a 25mm drop. But then it means getting custom springs.

l337 calibra · 01-12-2008, 02:31

Thats brilliant, makes me want a Mk1 now

OPEL PARTS GREE · 01-12-2008, 07:17

Looking nice!
Keep up the good work!
There are too many mods for this model ....from exterior

to interior

**CraigGreen** · 01-12-2008, 10:08

Those seats are damn nice condition. Good find.

nova-myth · 15-12-2008, 19:58

Cheers, much comfier than the last ones I had

Got around to fitting my spoiler today, was too dark for a better pic when I had finished but it looks something like this..

tayyib1993 · 30-12-2008, 01:59

nova-myth · 31-12-2008, 00:32

Would have sold it earlier but there was no interest. the cav is now a cube!
