which nova?

[Dave.]

ok. i have 2 novas now (well not quight can decide wether to buy). i have been offered a mk2 white nova mint on a j for ?75, but i dont want to part with f221 akf, although its a rot box its my car and i feel attached to it, i cant decide, what do you all think? really need opinions

my blue nova











and the white ?75 one














o and if a car is recorded aginst dvla scrap maker can you undo that?

[Jack]

Mk2's are better than Mk1's :D

Anyway... take the best bits from both and stick onto whichever is the better shell/chassis.

[Stanley]

White MK2!

GSi kit (inc vinyl on tailgate!!) lowered, speedlines - sorted

[Asa-James]

if a car is recorded as scrap then i dont think u can undo it unless you re-register it. i had that problem a few years back with a couple of mk 2 golfs, the better of the two was already scrapped, so i started swapping bits, bought my nova for ?50 and scrapped the pair of them!

[Asa-James]

btw where the muck is that scrappies? i want that sally rear bumper if its goin for a good price!

[Dave.]

sorry mate its my dads garage, and the saloon is crushed now.
ill see if i took it off not sure

[Lozzie C]

You can. My Nova was written off as scrapped but what happened was we sent a letter to the DVLA about it along with the contact details of the previous owner and it got sorted.

[Jack]

Scrapped, or insurance write off? Certain categories of write offs can be re-registered. Theoretically a car thats been scrapped should be taken to the scrapyard immediately and/or disposed of, so can't be re-registered - the DVLA is being hammered by the EU and the lib dems at the moment because its very very slack about this process, thus allowing scrapped cars to live on.

I'm sure you made this exact thread wondering whether to swap your blue one for the white one not so long ago

[Stuart]

erm its your car, your money, do what the hell you want with both....
