Finally got some good progress on the Nova!

Painted the roof black and completely re-fitted the front back togeather, also cut some holes in the bumper behind the number plate for more air when on track.

The other progress is stripping most of the interior out and also fitted my momo stearing wheel.

Next i want to do abit of work on the inside so my recaro seats fit and get the cage ordered, sprayed and fitted! Also going to spray the inside to freshen it up, but keeping the dash in as it will still be used on the road and dont want to loose all of the comforts

Have done abit more to the nova recently. Would have liked carbon fibre door cards, but i looked on the performance trim website and couldnt justify spending hundreds of £s on some. So I asked my mate and he very kindly gave me them because he doesnt need them for his Nova project now

They needed abit of modifing because he had leccy windows and i have manual ones, also some of the holes didnt quite line up for some reason
Fitted them with a mixture of old push in clips i had floating about abit mix and match but they do the job!

Also took the filter off the throttle bodies for a look/clean and had to get a few pictures

Next on list list is to remove the sound deadening from the spare wheel well so i can weld up the holes and freshen up the floor inside with a few coats of red paint.

Also next month il get the roll cage ordered, il get it painted and fitted along with my seats and harnesses. Then it needs a good service on the brakes and engine, underside needs cleaning and undersealing and it will then be ready for MOT, Tax and Insurance! Then finally some track days

Comments welcome as usual!

Been busy getting the car ready for PVS. Not going to get some things done that i wanted but they can wait untill afterwards. The main aim is to get an MOT, Tax and Insurance now!

OMP Roll Cage was ordered last month, this wont be fitted just yet because my mate who is doing it is busy with work.

Picking some new seats up tomorrow hopefully, they will probally be fitted after PVS aswell.

Ordered some Black Diamond brake hoses, which will be fitted along with some fresh fluid soon. Going to do oil, filter change, plugs etc.

Some pictures......
