That was at Billing 03 IIRC.
usually looks better than in that pic. Grille was poorly aligned. Parked in that company (Karl rowntree, Mart weaver & Rob Delicata) it wouldnt look too special anyway. But its just totally std body really with shortened mirrors.
Heres my fave pic;
As i say your never too old to modifiy so good luck and if you do decide to do it then keep us updated

Thanks for all you input on this one.
At least I dont feel like an old man in a playground now
It`s also nice to see i`m not the only one in Milton Keynes
Craig, your car looks stunning! IMHO just how they should be!
I picked up my nova from MK car auctions for ?70 with mot untill feb the only rust on it is on the rear arches, I have welded in some new metal one side & will repair the other after xmas
As I am now happy with the fact that I`m not the only oldie on here, so I will list my future plans for it.
Below are the things that are really bugging me atm and NEED to be changed asap!!
Rreplace the skinny wheels with some Alloys of some type, preferbly standard vauxhall alloys.
SRI/GSI steering wheel ( the standard van size steering wheel sucks!!
Ride hight / Handling of the car needs to be stiffer & lower.
Standard seats are uncomfortable to say the least!
Thats about it for now, obvioulsy elec windows, C locking, mk2 dash will have to follow after then
anyway, thanks again guys/gals your imput has been most appreciated!
Pics as promised
The tyre width & ride height really scare me
Nice.... I may have to frequent one of these car auctions
I'll be arranging a meet in Oxford in the future azura and there's also a cheltenham meet tomorrow.
Your more than welcome to come along.

Welcome to NL mate, dont worry about your age at all, loads of ancient people on here. Dan is drawing close to drawing a pension, Dar is far older than most of the hills i know of, Mr Coonticliff is clinically dead, Stu is also ridiculously old and I myself am going to be another year further away from being of the 'accepted' nova ownership age on sunday!
And yes, 145 tyres are very scary
Age is no issue round thiese parts!
Welcome.
I always thought the 145r13 firestones were hilarious, who needs rear wheel drive to get the back end out on roundabouts?
I think mine lasted about a month.
Get your front brakes modded first, check the tech posts for the best options. then enjoy
P.s. I'm an over 30 as well
