LOL @ Matthew. Was about 8 years ago wen i first got the corsa! Makes me feel old aswell haha!
DONN3R, ive had the Nova about 2 years now and the most expensive thing was the cage at £500 and the suspension @ £200. Costs have been saved by doing as much work as i can myself and over a 2 year period its not to bad!
Is there ever a project that can be done on a budget tho?lol!!

No mate. I bought them because i carnt afford to spend £400/500 on new suspension as ive got a baby due in april so most of my spare cash is going on that 
They are good enough for me! I know a couple of people with them and say they do the job fine! There better than the old suspension so im happy

Not a massive update but its comming along well and should be back togeather and finished in a few weeks time
Me and my mate finally had a day free to get the cage fitted. After a long day and abit of messing about we got it all sorted with the plates made and welded in. We decided to bolt it in so it can be removed if needed, as we toyed with the idea of welding it in.
Its still yet to be fully bolted down as i re-undersealed where the welding had burnt the old stuff away!
Also blew in the parts of the floor after all the welding was done, looks much better now imo.
Dash is part in and looks awesome compared to the old grey dash
A few pictures that i took, didnt get many due to being so busy!

I kinda take my statement back about the FKs 
I just bought a Nova with them fitted and they're not too bad, only problem is front is much stiffer than rear which makes it understeer a bit, but I'm going to fit a Cav rear arb so should make it a bit more neutral
