    Default Nova 1.0l Project

    ok ive been offered a white mk2 nova for ?75. so i snapped it up asap, so now i have 2 . 13 and own 2 novas. not too bad eh

    so this nova will have a stripdown, either mk2 gsi gront or mk1 gte/sr looks. but id like a gsi mk2 .

    bodywork-wise its mint- no rot in the arches factory condition battery tray but abit of rust on the rear arches but its only were the paint has cracked due to them bieng rolled.

    it has a 1.0l engine with 47tho on the clock, so its kind of sweet running.

    took it out today for a spin around my dads private yard, got its smooth, it sounds really nice and doesnt blow any blue smoke atall.
    so ill update this once i finally get it, it will be after xmas before anything is done

    Looks a good shell. GSi-replica mk2 sounds like a good plan to me.
