First car Yellow nova project

[Nova-nation]

I bought my very first nova for £700 with no engine
It is the cleanest nova i have ever seen, it has no rust, anywere!
it came with the full conversion kit for a c20let (mounts, shafts etc) and the shell is already seam welded.

came with a gte steering wheel, digi dash, half roll cage, set of 5 cesaro wheels, lowering springs all round (looking to get coil overs in the future)

it also came with a cat 1 alarm and tracker (fitted)

GTE (astra i believe) steering wheel & digi dials.

i then bought a second nova as a dona car for the sr engine & gsi seats

i am planning on putting the sr engine in the yellow nova.
it is running on a 1.6 astra carb i have been told and it could have an uprated cam?
obviously i shall find this out but any tips on tuning an sr engine up a bit more?

(not sure if 1.3 or 1.4)

i am planning in about a years time to either saab turbo or c20let the nova, however as its my first car, i dont want to crash to early

pics of engine etc to come and hopefully start building the car soon!

any suggestions on what other things i can do?

As benn said above,I know the owner that had it before Shaun,his name is Matt,(game1 off here),is a really tidy shell,I bought the engine out of it,bloody quick aswell,when Matt took me out,nice shell to start off again with,will be nice to see it back on the road again
