Thanks for the comments guys.

I was considering having it smoothed in but I decided against it I like the... "Im an add on" look. lol

And the towing strap was an ebay purchase. only 9.99

Well. 2012. I haven't updated on here since PVS 2011. Nothing has really changed with the car but we have big plans for 2012... Here's a few pictures to give you an idea.

First off due to becoming recently self employed and bein only 21 to get insured on any sort of commercial vehicle is way to expensive... I'll have to have a van..



At long last My bro built up my powdercoated rear axle



Today I went and picked up a semi smooth boot lid from metzy which also has a spoiler which I think my car has been crying out for!!!

I know what you mean Jaffa but I'll still have the old bootlid if i don't like this one.




***UPDATE***

I bought this back in September 2011 I think and never put up pictures.


Its a genuine Courtney Sport Turbo conversion for the Nova GSi. It took a while to get hold of as these things are like rocking horse dung!! But it came with everything including all reciepts from the previous car and the reciept from courtney themselves. Excited!

Box of bits.



Engine.



Intercooler.



The magic.

Thanks
