Once I have got this sodding steering wheel off my car is for sure coming off the road for the winter until I get it PERFECT, else if I keep driving it I may create more problems for myself

So here is my list

The skirts not fitting quite right, the windows are'nt all tinted like the GSi only the front screen, the exhaust is cack, the front bumper needs a new iron so it will sit properly, I have a new grille that needs fitting and spraying, the parcel shelf needs re-covering, I need to make a roof lining, need to paint the interior handles black, need to fit the other door cards I have, also need to adapt some of the GSi trim to fit into my car, I want to waxoil the arches, have the engine bay painted and seam welded

Can you strip me Pete?

Going to find a runabout Nova 1.0 with MOT, cheap to insure, tax, run etc for winter.

Can't wait

1)Couple of small carpark style dents in the passenger door/rear 1/4.

2)Think my front shocks are on the way out.
3)Flatspot at 2000-25000rpm in 4th and 5th.
Lumpy idle at the moment, probably linked to the above.
4)Its dirty
