VAUXHALL NOVA 1.6 - MODIFIED!

I have for sale my Vauxhall Nova. I built this car from a base model 1.0 litre gem around this time last year.
The car was completely stripped to a bare shell, and all the nessecary repairs were carried out before the respray. The car also benefits from mk2 Nova headlights and indicators. The car is resprayed in Ford Phoenix orange. The car mechanically and bodywise in in very good condition for a Nova and the wheel arches have been trimmed at the back and rolled at the front to accomodate the 17" alloy wheels. The wheels too were refurbished at the same time as the car was resprayed. The interior benefits from a GSi black interior including front and rear seats, dashboard, rear door cards and door cappings. The front door cards are retrimmed GTE ones as i didnt want to cut the mint gsi door cards that i had for the car as it still has wind down windows. The engine is from a 1.6 Nova GTE and runs/starts as its should. The gearbox is a 5 speed with no unexpected noises.
A General overview:


Nova Gem shell - stripped and resprayed,

17" 100+ alloy wheels with 195/40/17 tyres at the rear and 205/40/17 at the front,

Nova GSi interior including black dashboard (mint door cards available at extra cost)

1.6 Nova GTE engine fitted.

Full Nova GSi bumpers and sideskirts,

Clear rear lights,

Mk2 Nova front headlights and indicators,

2.0 16v Astra GTE brakes,

Nova GSi rear beam with anti roll bar,

Anti roll bar at the front,

GSi chrome sill protectors.

Small Steering wheel and boss.

Overall the car is in very good and useable condition.
There are a couple of bad points which include:

Small rust bubbles coming through on passenger rear arch and drivers front wing,
Passenger CV clicks on full lock,
Gear selector wants adjusting, somtimes jumps out of reverse but it is definatley NOT a gearbox issue!
Front bumper has been cracked and repaired in the past.Any questions phone ONLY after 6pm on 07933640046.

Im interested in swaps also - What have you got??

He probably has, but thats the trouble. You cant expect to recover your costs come sale time. Its a cleanish gsi with a paintjob and some alloys essentially. And no offence is meant by that, as it is a nice car. You might get the money your after if you break it for spares?

I think he just wants it to go to a good home where someone else would appreciate it like he has. :)
