12k mile mrk 1 C20let Project!!

Awesome shell to start a proper build like that... nearly bought it myself when Kev was advertising it last year! will certainly be keeping an eye on this thread

Sounds a little sad but, it's such a shame to do this to such an original car. Unless you go Keiths route, and get it dipped, I'd enjoy it for a few months and them see what I'd what to do you with it, it's MINT but hey good luck either road, plus it' your car too

why would it need to be dipped, it can be taken back to bear metal if needs be at the bodyshop, from what keith has said to me they are very rough with the cars they get in some even need jigging afterwards


why is it a shame, its a std 1.0, a car is to use, and it will get used! it will get an Let it will get welded it will get painted and it will be used alot once finished!

i have no desire to keep it in the garage and say hey boys i have a 1.0 nova with only 12k miles on it, it is desperatly slow, handling is terrible why on earth would you want to keep it standard!

seeing how much fun my brother and will foy an many other people have from there nova's has made me get another one for myself
thanks all for your positive comments

I agree,yeah fair enough in saying "i cant believe it its original bla bla bla" if it was a gte/gsi/Sr but its a base model.Too many people have too much to say on what people do to their cars on here ive noticed alot just lately.Hes building it for himself to enjoy himself,hes paid his money for it so therefore entitled to do whatever he wants to it.Concentrate on your own builds

had the painter round today he couldnt believe his eyes, after painting will's and my brothers he had seen enough of nova's, but he was very happy with it he said "it needs very very minimal dent repairs, no welding" it is being painte in 2 weeks

i best get stripping!

i trial fitted my new radiator and charge cooler radiators all fitted very well so thats another thing to tick off the list

been making a list and a long one at that for what i need to order from chris astley!
