After being inspired by the return Mr Walsh's nova.

I decided that today woul be a time to get bring the nova out of the garage for the first time in over a year!!!

Its still set up for the track but will be getting slammed again over the winter, also needs a new CV boot, and cam belt change.

Other than that its cool, considering it was painted over 6 years ago now :)

Then it will be out at all the shows next year

One of my faves.. ive missed this car this year lol tho it might have given my mk1 the chance to wear the 'lowest mk1 nova' badge temporarily, yours clearly in a raised spec at the moment..
Glad to hear it'll be back. Also didnt realise your the fella off of mig with the yellow m3 - some really good work gone into that - luv the way you kept those 'evolution' std m3 alloys, - u got them refurb'd in fact..

Awesome.

Differant purposes, I like both for what they are. M3 does look sweet tho:)

Thats a nice Nova there. Simple but effective. What lurks under the bonnet? Also like the M3 aswell!

Smallblock XE on TB's IIRC.

Love the track height of it tbh, too low looks broken IMO. Good to see her again anyhow.

Mk1 Nova's FTW.

Pistol Pete

Hello Paul, good to see you about.

The Nova's still looking great.
You need to get out on a track and give it some abuse.
No doubt I will catch you at a show at some point and catch up.

Stuart.
