That would be an c16xe IIRC. Can get a healthy power hike out of these engines with the right mods.

Dunno what the c16xe engine is like but from past experience with the x14xe the head gasket is...

my thoughts exactly!

What the **** is wrong with using normal english?! All this charv/chav crap annoys the living piss out of me!!!!

Sorry. Rant over.

They are like an old, scruffy dog. (dont laugh, you all know the type!)

Bless it; its old, faithful and always likes to play but everyone still looks down at him, thinking hes just a scruff and...

MK1 looks tougher than the MK2 and both are nice in their own right (as long as you ditch those hideous orange indicators that came on the MK1's) but i prefer the softer, more modern look of the MK2....

oh dear......

Looking good. Where abouts in the toon are you from??

Nice to see a mk1 SR restoration project, dont see many around.

Hope the rest of the shell isnt as bad as that rear arch!

Are those the ones you mean?

Raping 1.1 saxos in a transit van is great! The turbo diesel ones have quite a bit poke for a van. As do mercedes sprinters, renault masters and VW LT35s. :thumb:

They are mk3 astra cesaro wheels.

personally i would have took the tramlines off the side and got some 3-spoke GSI rims for it. Other than that i would just try to restore it and keep it as clean as possible.

Dont see many 1.3...

I'd try bumper care first, make sure you give it a few applications and if that doesnt work then try painting it.

where the hell are all these mint novas coming from? im jealous!

Full marks to the lad i say! We should all be trying to steer him in the right direction, instead of telling him it is a daft idea.

Where the hell do you find novas like that now? They are stupidly, stupidly clean! I'll look forward to seeing both of them finished.

Never mind respect for doing it up, repect for being able to buy the thing in the first place! how much do paper rounds pay these days? Are you some kind of youth pimp/drug dealer selling pritt stick...
