Nova Gte Project

Hi,
I purchased this Nova GTE about two years ago.. I knew from viewing it that it was going to be a major restoration as it was in a sorry state my plans were to get it stripped, blasted, welded then paint. As it already had a 20xe i was going to leave it and put r1 carbs on it etc... Ive recently changed plans and going to restore it back to original, so currently im trying to source some GTE parts. And also another shell to put the 20xe in. I'm currently at the paint stage, so bare with me and i will upload photos. Its had sills,rear arch. GM flinch panels bothsides, GM wings, GM doors and GM front velance
