Hi im selling my Nova 1.5 turbo diesel with isuzu engine fitted,the car started life as a 1.2 petrol but me and a friend converted it last year.
The car runs 100% with a strong engine that has been kept totally standard (tho they can be turned up to run at 95bhp very easily) The engine has only 92000 miles on it and i have the diesel clocks fitted to the car to prove.The actual car has about 110,000
The car is mot'd until march next year but runs out of tax at the end of this month.For the last mot the car needed basically naff all,my mate welded a small plate on the chassis leg and fitted a new brake line and thats all it needed!
The car is very solid underneath and has needed no underside welding whatsoever and i under sealed it before last winter.
The car comes with the following extras:
2 litre 16v brakes with good pads (disks are slightly worn as the steering wheel can vibrate abit on hard braking but i think i have some spare)
Smoothed boot
Gsi interior (rear seats dont have the fixing brackets so some need making which is an easy job,until then its not possible to have passengers in the back,also the front seats have a few marks with the usual bolster wear on the drivers)
Black Gsi dash
Clear rear clusters
MDF boot build
The bodywork is ok but not perfect
The rear arches had surface rust so i re painted the lip and are pretty much ok now (I seriously do mean surface they are 100% solid) One of the front arches is starting to get pretty rusty,not that bad but ive taken a pic so you can see for yourself
The paintwork is abit dull nothing a good buff wont solve i just dont have the time as i have a van which takes my time up,all the panels are straight apart from a small dent on the bonnet which is common for novas
Under the bonnet ive seam sealed the engine mount that had to be cut into the chassis leg,this was a decent job using stainless steel but i have only seam sealed not painted so it needs tidying up
On the other chassis leg a small plate was welded in that was made out of galvanised steel.I painted over it but it looks was shinier than the rest of the bay due to the bay has the original paint on it.
The doors are basically rotten on the inside and have started to show rust on the outside,i do have two gsi doors in good condition with electric window motors and central locking in them
I had a very low speed crash where i just went into the back of a car,the only damage was the front bumper support bar,because of this i had to remove it so the bumper is held on by tie wraps (it is secure and has been on for months it passed the mot like this) I have a gsi front bumper which is included in the same just needs abit more sanding down then will be ready to paint
The rev counter on the dash isnt wired to the alternator,a very small job i just havent got round to it
The diesel glow plugs are activated by a switch instead of a timer.the switch is easy enough to operate press on then off!

Its basically a solid nova that needs abit of tlc which i was gonna do,but its just not practical enough for me so ive bought a van instead.It starts first time every time!
I also have some brand new 40mm drop springs still in the box for 30 quid
And Gsi skirts with all fixing clips for £30
Price - £400
Location - Bradford
I dont want to take less than that its had way more spent on it and it is my pride and joy,if it was more practical id be keeping it!
