You need 15 posts before you post pics
Looking forward to them
One of the best color GSi's you can get, miss my old one, feel it had some character that my track car lacks..
Look forward to seeing it.

Will pick it up next friday.
I've been Novaless since may 2004. Just looking for an excuse to come over for Billing this summer...
15 posts? Hmmm... I''ll do my best this weekend.
Cheers
Keeping it original = +rep from me
Just received confirmation from seller. I'll pick her up this Friday. Drop her off at my local garage. Give the car some service (new plugs, oil, filters, fuel hoses) myself over the weekend.
Next stop MOT....
Okay so I now own a Nova GSI.
Found here in a little town called Stramproy here in the Netherlands, close to Kleine Brogel in Belgium, that'll sound familiar for some of you (Belgium PNG Trip) where Joeri had her stalled for the last year. He planned to restore the car but never got to it. So lucky me was googling last week and came across his ad.
Had a look at the car last week and it's in stunning condition.
Picked her up this morning. Pics will follow.
From the first view it doesn't look to rusty or damaged. But we'll have a closer look tomorrow morning.
The engines runs smooth. It's a C16SE with DIS.
Sorted tax and insurance today.
Things to sort out:
New front doors.
Just bought a brand spanking new N/S door for € 112,50 in Germany. There are still 2 left so check out eBay dot de and search for Corsa A tür. O/S door is available within the Netherlands but someone ordered it weeks ago. If the order isn't confirmed by this Sunday it's mine!
Also ordered new side skirt sills left and right, just in case.
Some work on rear quarters and arches, nothing to serious.
2 new tyres, my dad works for Michelin, so that won't be to much of a problem...
Full respray this winter.
Tomorrow I'll shoot some more pics to post on here over the weekend.
Still not over 15 posts so pics will have to wait.
Car was MOTed today and passed without any trouble...
Work done over the weekend:
Fitted 2 new rear brake cylinders L+R
Fitted 2 sets rear brake shoes L+R
Changed brakefluid and bled whole brakesystem
Fitted 2 new windscreenwipers
Changed the oil and filters
Fitted new sparkplugs + leads
Sourced brand new N/S and O/S front doors.
Now I'm after two front wings.
Things to do next week (combined):
Refresh coolant
Change drive belt
Change waterpump
I'll have to drop by at Niek's place later this week to pick up some small interior and dash parts.
Cheers!
Humm post some replies in Muppet to get just over the 15 mark, im sure no one will mind that..
Looking forward to watching this progress mate.
