    Default In The Mix 96'

    Yo, been a member on here for a while now and had 2 other novas.
    this is the new project.

    The plan is to get it mint condition and lower it about 100mm

    Well it's a club alright as that interior is bizzare

    Looks like it needs some work on it thought (rear arches and doors).

    Any pics of the usual rot places, boot, battery tray, inner wings etc etc

    Hope you keep it standard looking

    Thats all the pics ive got right now (off ebay) till i get the car tomorow.

    It will be kept standard, mint paintwork, satin black bumpers and parts and 2 big hella spotlights on the front old skool style.

    I might get the rear beam and other parts underneath off aswell and give them some rust treatment and hammerite


    Oh, and a nice small stainless exhaust, OUTWARD rolled

    I will take a look at your thread superxe

    I plan on putting a C20LET in the future.....because lifes too short

    keep as a 1.2 for now with a clean looked after engine.

    its got MOT and he says it flew through without failing anything, no TAX though, so i have to pay someone 30 quid to tow it back for me
