================================================
So after 18 months, I've finally returned to Novas, having just bought a pretty tidy 1989 1.4 SR
It's currently lowered 60mm on springs and shocks, has a MK2 dash fitted so I don't get cancer, and a few other bits that you can see.
I'll let the pictures do the talking...

so the plans for now are to replace the rear arches, replace the doors, tidy up the interior, re-tango the indicators and tail lights, and also remove the drug dealer window tints. Alloys need some center caps and a refurb too
other than the essential work, I'm going to stick a set of bike carbs on it, and a few other related engine bits.
bought the carbs within 3 hours of getting the car lol

float bowl gaskets are £10 each :eek: so thought sod that, and put them back as they were lol
and all done, just need another ram pipe as one is missing. I bet Kawasaki will have my trousers down for that

and found some rear arches kicking around at work so I've re-homed them too
