    Default Found my old nova...

    Sold it as a shell a few years back, looks like its been passed around a few times as its now in Essex. I did want it back, but not now!

    Would be a good buy if it sells for £500, gonna add it to my watch list to see what it goes for.

    PS ebay links aren't allowed.

    Why not?

    If you want it back go and buy it.

    It needs some bodywork, and a rebuild by the looks of it. (mechanically)

    Not the end of the world.

    Shell was ok, I had repaired rear arches and cill, but left it in primer as I could never be arsed with how it looked on the outside, hence the now 2tone paint. Engine bay was all stitch welded, cav shifter (which is still there by looks of things), corsa brake servo on bulkhead, corsa steering column (rewelded so the driving postition was straight).
    There is a project thread somewhere.

    Yes it did have the VXdash, but they were all sold seperately, I basicly broke the car into parts, the chap just bought the shell (and some interior), engine mounts and exhaust off me, then refitted a standard dash and put another XE into it.
    And yes, it is the famous ringroad nova!
