re the victor... there is no way that car is vaguely legal to run the original identity... it is awesome, but not right... it is about 5% victor at most

Nice work to get it back on the road as it was fairly bare when I last saw it. I bought the glass, roof lining and some interior stuffs from it to repair my B reg saloon after the fire. I could fill you in on some of its past history and some old photos if you want to be bored some time?!
Must say though, its a shame to have lost another brazil brown and gained a baby blue! But thats just my opinion on an otherwise amazing nova rescue.
I'd love to know abit more about it to be honest I have nothing other than the log book, I will put up a thread at some point and you can see wot state it was in, but it was cheap. Have to say a massive thanks to Burgo for sorting me with glass engine etc and my brother (honie5) for sanding and bolting bits on. Still have no interior at all tho so gotta find a lot of stuff!Originally Posted by Dan Stanley

Haha so you've actually mentioned mehas been a long old slog and plenty of filler removing but hopefully he's done it justice and can make it into a pretty cool car! Best bit about the weekend was we actually got to drive our novas together for first time in about 4 years! Had a really good weekend was hoping to see a few more novas but usual quality was there which was good to see! I'll be a passenger hopefully in the blue one as we broke my car and it's going to sit in the garage until I can be bothered to sort it
And a massive thanks to my brother and jeff16v for a helping hand and tools getting the car patched so I could get it home
Only pic as I forgot my camera!
