    Well as most of you know the Corsa's been my daily workhourse for the past year, and decided i wanted another Nova and be back behidn that wonky wheel every day

    Anyways i set about doing a swap for this little gem, a 1991 Nova 4dr saloon in gold, as it was with the previous owner off here



    As i picked it up



    Fitted my Sr steel wheels, gave it a valet, fitted red bumper tape to the front, and removed some of the stickers

    The found my mint GTE wheeltrims, so put them on, makes it look factory fresh!









    No plans exterior or interior wise now, want to make it look like its jsut rolled out the showroom, but slammed on its hoop, even contemplating putting a standard backbox back on

    Fitting a new CV joint



    then fitted my Calibra Turbo steering wheel and SR clocks as the originals speedo was tempramental



    thats all for now, let me know what you all think

    Turbo steering wheels are the best wheel for a nova imho. Love it.

    Really want a saloon at the moment but I'm shying away from more doors but this has changed my mind. Looks awesome on the trims mate.

    Glad you've put the GTE trims on, looked poo on the steels. Very nice clean shell too.

    Not really much to update, had a very clean Cavalier in work the other day, looked like a scene from the 90's



    Keeping with the standard theme, picked up the original radio that would of been fitted from the factory and fitted it once it was decoded



    Then took it for a clean and some pictures, still needs bumpers gelling etc













    Also fitted my GTE 3spoke wheel, keeps it more period/factory, would go standard but the plastic 2-spoke is horrible
