Brought another :S (Lots of pics)

[AlexW]

:roll: Yes ive bought another bloody nova :(
It was for sale on mig. Went and picked it up yesterday, by the time we got back it was dark.

Il give you a bit of a run down on it, its a mk2 1.2 spi fun. And it has nothing, no clock, no parcel shelf, and problery a good thing no sunroof.

Its a non-runner with the engine seized :( But i still have the 1.2 out of my other nova so plan to make one good engine out of the two. It cost me £120 and really dont have any rot, the passenger door needs sorting and it needs a few dents sorting, but it really is minted. And i need to sort the brakes.... They have so much surface rust they dont work at all lol

I know this is worthless without pictures so here they are.

So what do you guys think? Good or bad buy?

[brainsnova]

looks like a good buy so far lol :thumb:

[Leeboo]

Fecking good buy!!! I don't know how you got such a bargain on a Vauxhall site.

[thedjse]

haha quality take you've already started by the looks of it the haynes and ratchet lol

[AlexW]

lol the wd40 and tools are from getting the plugs out and trying to get as much wd40 down the bores. And the haynes was free with the car.

[CoolTiger]

scrap it :)

[wisewood]

:roll: Yes ive brought another bloody nova :(

And where did you bring it from dear boy? Did you have to bring it far?

God i hate it when people say brought instead of bought. To bring, and to purchase are not the same thing.

Someone may have recently brought a bottle of lager from the fridge in the kitchen for consumption while enjoying Top Gear on Dave. But its likely that it was bought from the shop at some point previously.

/\ What I opened the thread to say wiseman /\

Looks a good shell however.

[NASTYNOVA]

is the wheel trims up for sale?? nice btw!!

[vaughanmc]

Looks clean and tidy mate, makes me want another one

Base models rule! No clock, fag-lighter etc lol

[AlexW]

meh, no matter what excuse i come up with il still be moaned at for adding a r, even though the thought didnt go through my head.

Anyone got any tips on trying to Un-seize the engine? lol already doing the wd-40 and leave for hours. But if that dont work i thought push it down the street (Slight hill) and put it in gear? That a good idea?

[wisewood]

No need for excuses. You did it in the header and the content. Just recognise that you did it the wrong way and dont let it happen again and we'll say no more about it :thumb:

[DaveyLC]

I wish I'd started my project with a base model, would have saved a few hours lol :D

[Steve]

Bloody hell, a mk2 with no rust in the engine bay? is it possible? lol looks a good solid shell mate, whats the mileage?

[AlexW]

Think its 45,000. Dont think its 145, as interior looks spot on.

[xe Dan]

sell it to me PLEASE !!!!!

[Jack]

wisewood is spellbot! lol

Good base for a track car :D In my book £120 is the going rate for a poverty spec 1.2. I must be behind the times!

[boyle_46]

i love theese miami blue novas , they dont seem to rust as much as the rest of them lol

[moffat]

looks like a good sheel

[AlexW]

I would love to put somthing bigger under the bonnet but no cash. Ive been working on it a bit too

[jimbob-mcgrew]

might aswell transfer the front end and bumpers to this one, along with the engine and brakes, alloys, whatever else you like too, then slap the working 1.2 carb back in the mk.1 and pass it on as spares or repair

[twistysnovagte]

nice and clean that mate, sweet base project,if it were me id save and maybe put the 1.6gte/gsi lump in there,but i mean these day's you could put the redtop in there for just a little more,nice sleeper;)

[AlexW]

I was thinking of keeping it and putting a bigger engine in, but to be honest i brought it to put on road and sell. Id like another 1.4 or maybe a 1.6, but not a 2.0, too much money for my small pockets.

[xe Dan]

sell it to me as it is for a quick turn around let me no

[AlexW]

Ive already had a lot of offers but if the first buyer decides he dont want it il let you know. But atm i plan to fix the rust (i already have done some) I will be making a project thread soon.

[ryeski16v]

needs to be a street sleeper needs turbo lol
