Looks like you've got yourself a nice clean little motor there mate. Coming along well.

You need to post some pictures of your Nova as well! I've been reading your project thread on Novaload from the very start and love it. You inspired me to buy a car at such a young age like yourself

Not updated this in a while, so here goes

Currently got my new alloys fitted, had them re-furbed and painted at work, oven baked etc, then had brand new 195-50-r15 rubber added:







Took delivery of a Calibra Leather interior that has been made to fit a 3dr corsa, will require abit of fettling to get it to fit the 5dr:

Nocked up these rear lights last week, masked out the reverse lense and gave the whoile things a coat of red tint spray, came out really well and look alot more modern now they dont have the orange indicator lense:

Momo looked a million times better than the Calibra one, yeh!

Rear lights look good.

Any plans to tackle the rust? See in the pics it's got the drivers door quite badly.
