Hey, ive been on png for a while but now i actually have a nova to go with it!
I picked up a 1.0 2 door saloon poverty spec locally as my first car. Its a 1985 'b' reg, with 60k and one previous owner. I picked it up on friday from the previous owner's nephew as the old gentleman who owned it passed away late last year. It only did 40 miles since its last MOT just over a year ago, it was a bit juddery (possibly the carb?) but once it was a bit more run in, it seemed ok. She did hit 80mph!
The drivers side rear arch is a bit rotten and the battery tray is a little bit rusty, but the engine bay/inner arches/cross member are very clean as it had been wax oiled.
a little bit of rust on the bottom of the wing
Brown interior, coin tray instead of radio and every optional extra is blanked out
Tight, but she fits in there with stuff in and on her..
I'm going to attempt to bring some shine back into the paint, but the boot lid is very sun damaged, pressed plates, a nice drop and maybe minilites? As its my daily and i'm soon to be a student, progress will be slow and minimal.
More pics to follow after she's mot'd and taxed
