Hi
i've been going to do a project thread for months now,
but never got around to it. so here goes
my name is stu "7ova" and live in doncaster south yorkshire
i'm a mechanic and a mot tester
married with two children
when i passed my driving test many years ago my first car was a
red mk1 nova swing, loved it as everyone loves there first car
then had a few more nova's untill i bought a mk2 nova SX in black
only six months old and 3k on the clock it was great
no rust or rattles.
wish i had left it in a garage for the last 14 years or so, instead of
putting it in to a six foot ditch and then rolling it several times across a
farmers field
then had a few more nova's and then moved on to vw's and bmw's
but over the past couple of years i wanted to get a gsi as a project
and put it back as new
i bought my project first a k plate mistral grey gsi, got it off piston heads
from a lad in derbyshire who used it everyday and for track days.
does anyone recognise reg K449 LHW ? soon to be K7 OVA
over the last 16 months ive had three other nova's just to run around in
tidy up and sell on.
k reg flame red gsi, j reg silk violet gsi and a j reg flame red 1.2 nova flair
here's a few photos of the gsi and i will try and update thread as i do more work.
how it was when i got it, with the silk violet behind it
got it in to the garage and started to strip it
this is how it looks now cut all the front panel off and set in to welding
thanks for looking.
