Oh god, what have I done...

Will be getting the Nova/Corsa completely finished before I touch it though, or may even sell it on. Not sure yet!

So the Chevette is off to it's new owner on Friday. It was a bit of a failed project, but the money is going into the Nova/Corsa now. A friend sourced me a matching spark plug cover so fitted that today. Hopefully will get it sorted over the Christmas break ready for trackdays next year. The Sport sticker kit is still waiting to go on too...

Cheers guys

Just want to get it out on track and have some fun in it. I haven't really got a budget for it this year so no big changes will be happening. My plan is to get a suspension setup I like and learn the characteristics of the car. It's a completely different animal to the old car. Lighter with much more track focused suspension, with quicker steering rack and different tyres and all new bushes etc. Its like going from a Fiesta to a Ferrari. Well... almost.

Thanks everyone. The stickers haven't gone on as well as I'd have hoped, quite a few small bubbles, so I may get another kit and get someone who knows what they're doing to apply them again.

Time to get the suspension setup right and go play Can't wait for the next season of trackdays.

Cheers guys. The side stickers are being re-done asap by a friend who works for a local signage/wrapping company. Nothing wrong with the stickers themselves, just my useless positioning and application. It's a lot harder than it looks to get right. They came from DMB Graphics, it's really worth getting a pro to apply them though.

The car's getting a professional photoshoot on Sunday so I better get on and finish all the final touches
