sorted a few things on the nova today, like the central locking so i can actually lock it (well, broster sorted it with his electrical wizardry) and got the electric windows working properly
we also decided to change the wheels over to the MOs so i can actually turn again, and it improves the look of the car no end 
oh, and the stickers are no longer ruining the neatness of the windows
marks mate with the Ka came from peterborough to tow my corsa back to mine, all for the princely sum of a burgerking meal (its becoming a habit to pay people in food or beer)
heres how it looks now (comedy stance is due to half the engine being in the boot  )
so once again, thanks to Lawrie for the tow, and Mark for the electrical skills

what a mission sorting the central locking was! least its sorted now and working, i was so pleased it worked after all that work! nova looks so much better on the mo's, just need to clean it now and get that exhaust on......
we all did a little wave to the corsa as the garage door went down on it for a while! be good to see it back!
Lawrie's towing company is called mpvt LTD. and comes well recommended by me and i expect robin!
(p.s. hes from cambridge not peteboghorror)

corsa is getting a full makeover, with a new engine and a few other funky bits
the old wheels had to come off really, as the fronts needed tyres and there are ET40, and catch like buggery on the arches
the MOs will be staying that colour for a while as i'm skint now, but they will be the same colour as the bottom of the car at some point

Nova looks amazing Robin, the mo's make it look 100% better, cant wait to see it in the flesh, though the mo's would also look sweet sprayed white aswell

The offset upsets me greatly much so. I will have to take my hunt for 15 or 16 inch black pro race 2s else where.
