"One Last Time" Project...

[SRimon]

Well, after buying and selling many Nova's and always coming back i've come back one last time.

Started with seeing Dan (coochiSR's) Nova in the For Sale thread, promised it was mint, I went 300 miles to see it, and another 300 to pick it up. This is how I found it:





Got it back last night...in the rain but then I put it in my nice warm dry garage and went to bed, got up this morning and went for a little drive:



Went to my bodyshop booked in less than 24 hours after owning it!

So it begins:

Start off, 1 mint Nova, go rust hunting....

Grille out, no rust yet...



Headlight surrounds, urr no rust...





Front panel, nope not yet...





The bit I thought would be rusty...

[SRimon]

Battery tray either side, minor bit of surface rust around clamp






Windows out ready for surrounds and rubbers...



Front panel, absolutlely mint, same boths sides!



So thats day 1! Next day is time for engine out, and further prepping.

All in all I've found about 3 bits of rust, stupidly clean for 20 years old and 60k in.

Cheers
