black nova 1.3sr, the story.

[craig green]

Ace thread, it looks like you are speccing it with a lot of grp_A parts, not just a resto.

I love Black SR's, I'm not sure there are any others in the club!

Thanks Craig, well spotted with the grp A parts, it wasn't my intention in the begining to do that it just sort of happened
I intend to keep it black, but a newer vauxhall one, a metallic , think it's starmist black.

Cheers

outstanding, a lot of hard work, time and money is being put in to this by the looks of it, i will be keeping a close eye on this one fella

Nice thread . mk1 sr's are my favourite novas especially the early ones. Loving the garage aswell looks mint! Did you build it yourself?

[masseyk@deeside.ac.uk]

Thanks both, regards the garage Ewan yes I did build it, but my day job is a lecturer in construction so it was pretty straightforward,
It gets roasting in there when I fire up the woodburning stove, I could quite easily live in there but don't tell her indoors.

Regarding the photos, I just didn't want to bore people to death but as long as people enjoy looking at them I'll keep posing them!!!

Cheers

To be fair i dont read the wip threads just look at the pics.

Nice what wheels are they

boss, this might sound daft, but I'm not sure, I picked them up at Billing last year and had them refurbished and
then the fools stuck the old tyres back on!!!

They look like Revolution RFX's from the back.

Very impressed with the build, I had a G plate SR in black as my mate had a D plate SR in black which I loved. Looking forward to seeing the progress and end result.
