yep still got Fastcars Nova, Going slow , will try and get pictures of the car soon, we was in Fastcar this month i think with the car on its side jet washing under it to remove all the shit
getting money/part off fast car is like pulling teeth
the Nova has had all its rot cut out, all of Midas old work cut, away, and has been rebuilt so it looks like a standard nova with the rear cut off. So we can start a fresh and do it right, rather want work with somones elses bad workmanship to start with.

Yeah I cant see them having a huge budget for paint/parts. Progress sounds good though

not a huge budget can say that again.
getting anything out of them is hard, we have had to buy panels off EBay (2 front wings for £12).
I think all the cars come out of there own pocket, and they get what they can for free along the way.
