Default my 2.0l xe nova project

she's home

after getting her home tonight i had a good look around her, but she is a bit ruff round the edges but mechanicly sound & allot faster than the 1.6 focus ive been using, i took her home without the front bumper as the lad before put it through a fence so the fibreglass bumper was broken where the grill joins to it & it will require paint after i sort out a few other broken bits on the wide arch rally X body kit,

the lad also took the compomotive mo alloys off & replaced them with vectra alloys or summin, but a quick look through the local adds has baught me a set of 17'' kahns with 205-40-17 tyres for £150

theres also no interior in the back & 2 shite grey leather seats with harness's in the front,

he's also removed the stereo which he told me about but he's left all the speekers including the parcel shelf with good 6x9's,

any way i baught full set of nova gsi interior tonight aswell for £60,

ive only got a few pictures tonight as it was dark but i'll have a massive update of pictures tomorow night

the engine bay


i'll need to get longer wheel bolts tomorow to keep these on so i just tried them on tonight & i think i'll paint them white




& after i sorted the bumper, will need a sand and paint & the splitter painted black
