About 3 years ago i decided to start over again as the bodywork as getting a bit tatty. It was only spose to be a quick tidy up but ended in a total overhaul.

This is how it looks now

Very nice tidy looking car, a credit to you! :)

I bet that goes like absolute stink!?

[Ang]

Wow! I am so looking forward to our next meet! You vauxhall guys need to get along to Lydden Hill on 31st August, got to see these cars.

I know some people are so judgemental about cars like the nova but good ones now are really hard to find, its hard to find ones that have had serious care and attention like this.

Well done Kev :D
