    Default Nova merit 1.4 twin carbs

    Not sure if I really want to sell this but here we go

    vauxhall nova merit 1988 it was totally standard when I bought the car from a old chap who had the car for 18 years the car was very clean apart from the n/s/r arch and the paint.

    the work I have done to the car
    Body work:
    Rear wiper removed and smoothed
    aerial removed and smoothed
    new n/s/r arch welded in and both rear arches rolled
    respray in the standard astrol silver only parts that were not painted was the door shuts and the under side of the bonnet

    suspension/wheels/brakes:
    gaz gha kit with hight and rebound coil overs on front and spring and adjustable rebound shockers on the rear and new 190lbs springs on the front
    Tigra 15 inch wheels resprayed the same colour as a corsa/astra vxr wheels coverd in new mitchelin exlto 195-50-15 tyres,256x24 front brakes with vauxhall pads and mintex discs

    engine:
    standard 1.4 nv bottom end corsa,1.4 Sri cylinder head,piper bp300 cam,twin 40 webber carbs,fuel pressure regulator,4 itg air filters,new coil with the vac advance removed,all coolant hoses are samco,custom made stainless steel exhaust 2 box system very quite,
    all running on a f10 with new clutch and engine was rebuilt by a engine builder in Halifax before the engine was fitted the last two rolling road set up gave 111bhp and 108bhp

    trim:
    full gte seats with no rips or burns (rear seats need the 60/40 brackets fitting in as they are in the boot) gte steering wheel and 6 dial clocks showing 51k the car has done about 70k I have the original clocks to show mileage

    only reason for selling the car as I just don't use it as I never take it out the garage if it's wet and now we have a young baby I can't see it moving anytime soon if it does not sell I will just keep it in the garage for a few years
    I'm after £2600 and it also has 6 tax and 12 months mot until march next year pictures to follow
