It was a complete steal on e-bay at £436!! 48k genuine on the clock with all the old MOTs to prove it and the original dealer stickers and plates on it!! so i got my dad to take me down to somerset on the sunday after winning it and promptly drove it back up the M5, home to Wolverhampton with it managing a nice steady 80 (didnt wanna give it to much as wasnt sure of the last good service )

so it was took to work, put on the ramps and soon gave an oil and filter... it is a fantastic shell with the front jacking points immaculate along with usual spots of battery tray, top front strut mounts, wings all rust free!! All thats required body-wise is the obvious scrape down the nearside that has to be sorted, but i am gonna get a new n/s door anyway, the next shots will show (if you look closely) that the door has been filled and the bottom of the nsf wing. This was revealed once the body mouldings for the n/s was removed.

So for 22 years old... it needs a n/s/f wing, n/s door and the rear 1/4 blowing in.... i will be under-sealing soon to preserve it before the winter... (will put photo's on soon) but i think i have had a complete bargain personally....














Nights in, i found myself on here and e-bay... i've since purchased some SR alloys..


Makes the world of difference already... i have also got a GSi steering wheel (which has been fitted) and GSi seats to go in once cleaned, SR clocks, GTE front and rear bumpers in white that need spraying and tailgate with spoiler too to go on, Jamex front coilovers and its gotta have a new exhaust once it has been undersealed... Its a work in progress that will take time but i think its a cracking start....

Let me know what you think lads....

Nice. needs the correct grille though imho. The early saloon one doesn't suit it.

[Spudly]

That looks good and if youre happy with the price you gave then its certainly a bargain, it is by some of the prices other novas seem to be fetching, so well done!


I hope youre keeping the oe dealer plates and such, there is a member on here with the same surname as the dealer sticker in the back window says aswell
