    Default x e track project

    recently bought my old nova back with 16 bent valves , tbh it looks a mess now the usual story when someone buys a nova and not knowing anything about them and just wrecks them , i sold it with to mint doors in primer and they are no where to be seen , it got past a bout a few times so thats how its in such a mess

    heres a pic of when i sold it , it was far from the cleanest but was a hell of alot better condition



    heres how it was on tuesday theres a few dents on the car the wheels have been sprayed and are all peeling and the drivers door is diffrent from the one i sold it wae the pass side sill is dented too , but the rear arches are still solid
    notice the radiator that dosent fit
    lack of an engine

    whats with the primer patches the tailgate had no rust on it


    some bits of the engine in the boot


    new engine waiting to get the dizzy changed with the nova

    Looks very sorry for itself, the wheels looked 10 times better before they were painted badly.
