Nova At A Vauxhall Garage

[vaughanmc]

Today me and my Dad were heading down to the scrappy as I needed a brake servo hose for the Nova

My Dad was telling me about his old Nova Diamond and how it came from a garage not far from the scrappy - J.W. Scott

I knew out the back there was a big Vauxhall/Bedford/GM plaque on the wall but wasn't sure if the yard would be open

We checked and the yard was opened so we parked the Nova up and took some pics - The plaque is in good condition for the garage having been out of the go since the early 90's

Also went down there as I told Rich (Novasport) about the plaque and he wanted to see some pics of it!

Pics to follow, comments appreciated as well

Note - The Magnex S/S backbox fitted to the Nova, sounds lovely and not too OTT

Cheers, Vaughan

Nice pics vaughan , any way you could scoop the sign and freshen it up a bit would look good on a garage wall . Nath

[vaughanmc]

No idea mate my Dad's trying to think of a plan lol

Just need to wait and see - Maybe ask the people who own the tyre place where the Vauxhall garage used to be :)

[craig green]

I agree, that sign needs liberating. I can't imagine anyone gives a fook about it really.

Nice pics btw.

[vaughanmc]

I might see about it and bring it back to how it should be :)

Would be ideal to donate to the club and it could be used at shows or whatever

[Pistol Pete]

;) theres a Nova lurking in your photos!! That sign needs "borrowing" lol. Car looks good. I had a Magnex system on mine, sounds cool.

[vaughanmc]

Maybe enquire about it lol

Aye the Magnex sounds perfect so it does - Not too loud but a nice tone from it

[Dave.]

get that sign on your bedroom wall or soemthign lol lol

Nice sign, but who would have the lucky job of transporting it to shows etc? lol

I agree no-one will give a fcuk about it, just take it :) and rent/buy the unit too!

[Steve]

Nice find, agrreed, it should be taken, could use a lick of paint but I say put it on your garage wall.

[LEWI007]

Yeh restore it and put on your garage wall

[vaughanmc]

I'll get my Dad to see about it - He's down that way quite a lot :)

Would be ideal for the garage wall

[wilson_sri]

Id of just took it there and then lol

Cool pics.

[vaughanmc]

lol No way in getting it home though

Nova's way too small

[Dave.]

transit van will get that in easy :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Aye might see about it :)

[RJM25R]

..........can'rt you balance it on your huge rear spoiler :-0

[vaughanmc]

[The_General_Chancer]

nice sign! a 12 v power inverter, power drill maybe grinder will see that right. id get it would look ace on the wall :)

[Mike]

Is it only me sitting here thinking "its only a fcuking sign! Who gives a flying fcuk about it!"

Its a sheet of metal, thats old and has the GM Opel logo on it. So what?

[vaughanmc]

People like those things Mike, including myself

A wee tiny bit of Vauxhall history there thats still in-tact

[NovaLad]

It's even got rust! Winner!**

[vaughanmc]

Rust on a wooden board ?

[NovaLad]

Well what looks like a rust stain lol.

[vaughanmc]

I think someones tried to paint it - Theres remains of white paint all over it like brush marks

But theres no rust as its made of wood lol

[LEWI007]

Just take the fooker and restore it, put it on your wall it will look great it might even be worth something you not think ? ;)

[dj_wudgey]

that would be on my bedroom wall lol

[Dod]

Know what, everytime i see your car it grows on me....

[vaughanmc]

How come Dod lol ? Didn't you like it before lol

Nahh, everyone has their opinion about it, mainly the spoiler

Aye Mike, I do think that most of the time, there well rare now around my way

[Martin]

Rust wil be from the screws holdin it in

[vaughanmc]

Aye maybe...looks a bit odd just in that one place though ?

[Ben]

Id leave it as it is if you take t, otherwise just get a sheet of 8x4 and paint a vauxhall logo on it.

[vaughanmc]

Aye I just thought it would be really smart restored to how it was when it was put up :)
