Thought Id start a thread here as always lurking Bought the shell  Stripped it and removed wiring loom  Adapted spare widetrack kit from a corsa that we have,so that its 50mm wider in each corner  Test fitted widest wheels that will be run to get an idea of how it will sit  |

Had a rotten shell and made wide arch kit  Here are the moulds  |
| |
|
|

|
|
|
Started cutting bits of rust out such as battery tray and removed strut tops ![]()  Converted the Koni shocks to coilovers with a kit from JJC just to speed up the process of being able to put wheels on it when we move projects in and out of the garage  |

Test fitted the wide arch front wing basic shapes  Welded up the strut top plates   |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Got the front cross in  Tacced up most of the cage   Somewhere down the road mounted power steering and column  Sill stands  |
| |
|
|

|
|
Test fit the K20 from another project  Tacced up mounts  Needed the K20 for another project do picked up another for a bargain no idea what state its in though  |

Plated the dropped floor, modified a slimline seat slider, test fitted seat and started some 'CAD' for the new cross brace with hydro on top  Work on the cross brace is a go with hydro mount   |

Impressive work. A friend had a similar model standard Nova around about '91 which he called 'No Va' from the Spanish for 'doesn't go' due to its unreliabilty - this looks as though it will go!
I was looking at a V6 Corsa A this morning ( same body as your Nova), the owner said that outside of 'sleeping with the TÜV inspector' it will never get papers. Here in D modifying is a nightmare. Your creation would be almost impossible to get registered here! Keep up the good work
