My holden nova project car
Hey guys, this is my pride and joy!!! Some of you might pick up that it is badged as a holden nova, however it is a rebadged toyota corolla.
No engine mods yet, stocko engine, a hugely powerful twin cam 1.4L under the bonnet - hoping to make conversion to 4agze engine in future.
Modifications:
-16" Performance Tempest Mags rolling on 205/45ZR16 Maxxis Tyres
-Sitting on king springs superlows, guards rolled due to tyres rubbing at the back
-Central locking, Keyless Entry, Alarm, Immobiliser Installed
-Custom white two pack front bar, grille, and rear bar
-Am currently in the middle of customizing the interior. Came with a stock tan brown interior YUK!! I am half way through the interior. it is a massive job, taking hours of labour to get where i am now. Firstly the whole front end of the car was taken out, dashboard, steering column, cluster, i mean everything except the dashboards subframe. huge job not very fun. then came the monotonous job of preping everything suitable to be painted. this is vital in order for the paint to key on to the dashboard and other plastics and to come up with a decent, durable finish. Just think of 16 years of amour all on the dash, oil + paint = shit finish. i ended up using a concentrated detergent solution and a scotchbrite pad for the initial cleansing. this was repeated several times before using a prepwash wax and grease remover. This system proved to work well in cleaning the plastics for painting. The paint i used was an acrylic laquer. The dashboard was painted white, the centre console a mars red metallic paint, and the remaining plastic black. For a good finish i decided to even pull apart and colour code the air con vents. This was a bitch to do as you end up with around 40 extremely small parts to be painted, however the end result was fantastic.
-Custom door cards. Black leatherette vinyl with a carbon fibre white top panel embossed with a flame design.
-Full Jaycar sound system. (I don't care what anyone says about their gear. This stuff easily outperforms clarion, pioneer etc)
