    Post My 1988 nova sr :)

    hi my fellow pngers, i thought i would start a project thread for my SR Nova i am 18 and this is my first car. i have had it for afew months now and wanted to see what condition it was internally. its got 112,000 miles on the clock.

    i am not sure weather to get it bored out and tuned or just get another engine. would like to see what you guys think when i upload some pics soon. i have already spent abit of brass on it so far.

    what its had done:

    - full gasket replacement
    - full sportex exhaust (apart from manifold)
    - back seats removed
    - head skimmed

    whats being done in the near future:

    - replacing the whole front panel and re-welding a new one in.
    - new side panels in.
    - full glacier white re-spray (inside and out)
    - bucket seats
    - possible engine replacement or bore
    - webbers
    - replace astra alloys for original sr alloys
    - full re-vinyl set
    - pollybushed all round.







    these are the panels and bonnet that i won on ebay. got the bonnet for £11.25, drivers side wing for £11.50, the passengers side for £10.50 and a set of headlights/indicators or £5.50. jobs a gudden.

    yeah its goin well so far. just waiting for a complete front panel to be welded in, i might do it myself. then the rear arches need doing, despite the cost.

    i had a slight collision with a mitsubishi warrior and i crumpled the whole front drivers side.
