    Default Vauxhall Nova Flair - First Car Project

    Posted something in General Car Chat but I should be fixing the odd problems so I'd say its a project !

    Bought this wee gem today and I'm looking forward to start driving next year
    I'm only 16 atm but its a wee project until I can drive then hopefully it'll be tidy!

    It's a 1.2 Flair Injection..

    -Lowered 35mm (60mm by next year)
    -Speedlines (Be doing them Silver eventually)
    -It's got a backbox but don't have a clue what it is.

    Bad bits:
    -Surface rust in the usual spots, they'll be treated soon
    -The Hazard switch is jammed with pieces of Cards so it stays off (Be fixed soon)

    2 pics when I got it home..




    Washing it tomorrow so I'll get some pics of the bad bits and some daylight pics of car

    It looks great in the pics. I was 16 when I bought a 1.3sr but that was many many years ago

    Reminds me on my previous flair, loved that thing! Mine ended up with unpainted gsi front and skirts though.



    Should be a wicked first car!

    Cheers guys, named it Rusty !
    Gave it a wee wash then got some photos of the interior!
    Next to the bike


    Needs some TLC In the bay.


    Interior.



    All tucked up, no garage so a cover will be the next best thing Reason why there so close is because there is another Orange ST to go beside the blue one Lol


    Cheers, Dave!

    its not hard to get rid of it, get a wire brush and a angle grinder with some wire wheel attachments, bottle of rust converter some primer and some top coat

    or if buying a grinder is a no no you can get some wire wheel attachments for a drill mate
