View Full Version : Nova help please!!!
Ok, I feel a bit cheeky asking for this, but basically I have the parts for my Nova but I'm too much of a woman to know how to fit them.
So... is anyone able to give me a hand? I can offer a few quid for your troubles. Plus petrol money. And I make a wicked cup of tea.
Anyone??? Please??? :(
How much damage is done to the car? You got pics of it?
^ LMFAO
what parts? That might be a good start....
I will post up pics in a sec but my comuter is being gay. It needs a window replacing, a new bumper, wing and headlight fitted and the bonnet straightened. Maybe some dents knocked out of the door as well.

dont think that you will be able to get it perfect if the bonnet is dented and the door is, do yuo want it to be perfect or dont you really mind if theres a few dents in
You would need to include at least 2 different types of biscuit, & not those Supermarket Own Brand things that look about right, but are 3/4 the size & taste of chalk

I hate gay comuters always falling asleep on your lap especially if there the same sex as you.
Will fit parts for sexual favours!

It looks simple I know but I really don't have a clue where to start... :confused: :(
Hmmmm
Your only 65 miles from me
Fancy a punch in the face too?
aslong asyou dont want paint putting on the wing. I might be able to assist, although my time is velly limited at weekends etc. Is it driveable?
For a punch in the face I will crack out my best biscuits!
aslong asyou dont want paint putting on the wing. I might be able to assist, although my time is velly limited at weekends etc. Is it driveable?
No I don't want it painted.
It is driveable yes, the engine is in perfect condition, but it has no tax, no mot and no insurance, and it's more than likely gonna be on the police register. So I wouldn't advise it lol
What biscuits?
I wont settle for anything less than maryland cookies, at least three packs, and some bourbons too
And a few good cups of strong coffee!!
And of course the obigotary box of tabs!
I've already said I have maryland cookies and mcvities digestives. I'm sure I can stretch to some bourbons too! And what is a box of tabs??
20 B&H Silver
Petrol Money?
All this talk of biscuits has got me interested - but 150 miles each way is prob a bit excessive - otherwise I would!
20 B&H Silver
Petrol Money?
Deal! How much will petrol be?
allegedly 30 miles away :D
how urgent is the work? I'm not really going to have much time till mid November....
Maybe its time for another PNG carparty with some friendly essex lot helping Miss Lauren out. Its only about 2 hours work max by the look of it
£20 tops
Earliest i can make it would be this sunday, other than that, im away next weekend, so the weekend after
Yeah, you can all come and we can make a night of it. I'm not paying for all your petrol though lol
£20 tops
Earliest i can make it would be this sunday, other than that, im away next weekend, so the weekend after
£20? Sounds good to me. I can't really do this sunday, so it would have to be the weekend after next.
Now, is your mum and sister gonna be there too??
Stoo, I don't have a sister. And my mum lives in Northampton. And no, I don't have a tent. lol
So its just me and you then??
Uh oh, where is this heading Stoo? lol
Straight to the gutter!!! Haha
Jokes. Your safe.
What, so you're not gonna punch me in the face after all? :(
If your REALLY lucky i may spit in your face
lol Stoo you really are a true gent
Yeh well, what can i say.
Ever the chivalrous chap.
Youll find out soon.
Are you actually gonna get your hands dirty and learn, or stand there looking pretty and watch?
Or even worse, sit inside with Mr.Lauren01

25-09-08, 10:50 AM
so its all off for a mass gang bang then?
brainsnova
25-09-08, 10:51 AM
if the bonnets damaged that will be a good place to start the gang bang
Well, Mr Lauren may not be there, depends if you come on a Saturday or Sunday. I'm all up for learning, as long as I don't break a nail lol
Dammit, so there is a MR haha!
brainsnova
25-09-08, 10:56 AM
your best to get pictures of you fixing it to show you learned.
Dammit, so there is a MR haha!
you could always pop up the M11 and have some ghey lurve with me....
Dammit, so there is a MR haha!
I've mentioned him a few times before!
I dont pay that much attention, i just see women as punchbags to be honest
Errr... does anyone else fancy replacing Stoo here? I'll pay double! lol
hahahaha, ill take double if your paying it!
this is stus alter ego by the way
Haha, you said £20, can't go back on that now! :p
Are you gonna need any tools? Cos I don't really have any.
Ive got tools for the job ;)
An essex girl is in need.... sort it out Stoobert!
Oh i will mate
Just seen the pics, couldnt at work
Have you checked to see if the slam panel is bent? any damage to the rad etc?
shouldnt be a big job
never done a window though, but hey ho, every challenge welcomed.
bonnet looks ****ed mind!
Er... slam panel? Rad is fine, there isn't any engine damage at all from what I can see.
Uh oh, do you reckon the bonnet will need to be replaced?
id say so unfortunately
slam panel is the bits the lights bolt to
Aaaahh, razorjack was asking me that question last night, I don't know, I'l have a look a bit later.
I haven't got a new bonnet... :(
Im not too far either if Stooo bails out let us know.
brainsnova
25-09-08, 12:52 PM
im mising out on the action. *******
You sickos. *sniggers*
Ill take that snigger as devious coyness, meaning youd love us to play poker on your back whilst making you airtight
Stoo! You are making me cringe!
brainsnova
25-09-08, 12:58 PM
i think your safer buying a 10mm + 13mm spanner or socket a starey screwdriver and smal flat screwdriver and do it yourself. Oh and a hammer if your not changing the bonnet. :D
Urrgghh you lot are so crude! lol
Razorjack was asking you about the clips under the headlights :p
I'd hedge my bets on the slam panel being bent judging by the damage. Thats going to need some pulling out first at least. I think thats going to be a harder job than it looks tbh.
thats what im thinking jack
You not up for the challenge? :(
yeah course, but damage may be worse than first thought
I'll bring the sledgehammer. That will fix anything.
just take a rope and find a nice tree and use reverse lot less energy involved and i think ive got a badboyed bonnet you can have for a tenner
TBH, if you have the lot pulled reasonaby straight the bumper should cover most of the damage and as long as it all bolts on reasonably well, you're alright. It'd be worth investing in some stone chip to cover the parts that have had cracked and flaked paint behind the bumper to prevent rust.
Stoo, the window should be easy done, door card off, loosen the first 10mm bolt for the window runner/divider, 2 screws at the top and push it forward. Remove the ****ed item, and insert the new item.
I wonder if I needed help and put up a post, would I get as much attention? :D
Depends, if it was car help, not much. If you wanted "servicing" yourself, then yeah, loads of replies lol
lol lol lol lol lol
Thats what I'm worried about.
No you wouldn't, because I am a helpless female in distress and you most certainly are not.
iam only about 15/20mins away lol i come and give a hand up to you let me no ya
^^^ There you go Stoo, you've got a spanner monkey to help you out ;)
I think this is turning into a massive PNG Gang bang, Are you going to fold the seats down?
Seriously though, if all else fails i suppose i could come too, but im not in for the gang bang
but im not in for the gang bang
~Starts clucking and walking round waving my arms like a chicken~
Paul did u still want a nova shell because you wanted me sri shell and me and me mate have got a gsi we got to break
lol
http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k362/lemmon706/PICT0120.jpg
This pic worries me, its like the panel under the headlamp is bent. I'm thinking of the front panel has taken a hit the tracking could be out too, bent tie rod etc...
If Stoo gets to mine and tells me i'll have to scrap it i'll cry...
lol
i wod cry that mean 1 more nova off the road for good
shouldn't need to, it can be fixed, its just how much work is required to fix it. lol
lol

True but as long as you can fix the headlight and wing positions, **** it. The rest'll be hidden behind the bumper so It wont matter.
nah thanks mate bought myself a gsi last night!
If it's something Stoo can't do it wouldn't be worth my while to take it to a dealership to be fixed. I've already spent £130 on parts, the car isn't worth much.
If its fooked, its scrap time I'm afraid. But at least then you can buy a 3dr.
Anyway, theres a few folks looking for parts from 4drs as well so it'll be a few pound made back.
that would be a good think getting a 3dr
Lauren if it is scrap I'm interested in all the doors, front wings and boot.
Let me know.
Would be a shame though as it looks quite tidy

Wouldnt take it to a dealership IMO. You have spent £130 on parts they will charge you probably 3 times that to fix it :eek: . Should be an easyish fix, the headlight panel may need some persuasion with a magic knocking stick :thumb:
If you do have to break it, the vultures are circling, lol

It is, done £50,000 miles and engine has never had anything wrong with it. It was owned by my aunt whos other half used to work for vauxhall so it was serviced every week. So it would be a shame.
I have to point out, you say you want the wings, have you actually looked at the pic? lol
Also, one door is a little bent where my boyfriend punched it.

Thats some expensive miles lol

I hope you bitch slapped him for that.
I'll let you keep that wing I want the passenger one and the new one ;)

lol Well no at the time I was more worried that he would go to prison for crashing it into someone while driving with no license and insurance:wtf:
lmfao tut tut, no license and insurance AND crashing into someone... :mad:
he crashed it, he punched it.. and stoo can fix it..
what a guy lol
looking at the pic of that wing again too
the inner wing where the outer bolts looks like it may be bent
we shall have to see
LMFAO @ this thread.
. And no, I don't have a tent. lol
Stoo will have when he arrives :)
haha thats if im wearing any trousers

Think you might have more on your hands than you first thought. Yes, I'm talking about the Nova.
Looking at the external damage to that car I think it could be a lot worse than everyone is hoping for. Even if you repair the cosmetic damage, there could still be some pretty serious damage relating to the geometry which will ultimately make this car unsafe to drive.
:(
I have a slight fondness for this car due to it being my first, so I really hope not.

Look on the brightside at least the panels will help another more door find it's way back on to the road :D
I want MY more door on the road! lol

Weigh it in and save everyone the hassle
Get your bloke to pay for a new car or fix this one
Look, theres no point on satrting on the what if's until the damage has been assessed and a decision weather its repairable has been made or not.
Lauren, its your first car, and I undersatnd the centimental Value it holds. But you also need to remember, there are bigger and better cars out there and you cant keep it forever anyway.
If you dont want to spend the money on it for the front panel i would be intersted in the whole car.

I know, but for a first car it's perfect. Or was, anyway. Plus, it was a present.
AW06, how much will you give me for it? :D
A good hard fcuking.... Depends how much you want.
I doubt you would satisfy me lol
What do I want for it? I'd like 10 grand, but I'm not gonna get that, so it's only worth what someone offers?
brainsnova
26-09-08, 10:41 AM
£100 and a dip lol
Lmao X 2......... If you want 10 grand you better put it up on pistonheads lol
Anyways, tell me more info about it.
Umm... what do you want to know?
It's a 1.2i mk2 K reg
51,000 miles
Full service History
Engine seems to be in perfect condition - just replaced the battery too.
It has an immobiliser
I have some parts for it as well; a headlight, a front wing, a bumper and the window.
BUT:
It has no tax
no MOT
no insurance
PMSL just found this thread! if it was bloke asking it would be do it yourself you lazy cant! but when its female everyones like a herd of sheep!! fait play though id like a fit bird with a nova!

Amen to that
just read 14 sodding pages and i can conclude the following.
lauren01 never gets her fun bags out, but will offer some chocolate nibbles.
cambridge is still a gay mincer
stoo is a horny pecker
paul likes gang bangs
and after all that.
the car still aint fixed!
nothings changed since you have been gone sean
This had better be fixed now!
The threads been bumped, more abuse time lol
Btw did anything actually happen or does lauren still own a poorly nova then?
So im guessing stoo went round to fix it and ended up doing some panel beating work on lauren and not her nova then lol
LMFAO no, I think stoo couldn't make it in the end.
I would have but tis a long way for me. I'm wooing a possible future Mrs RJ this saturday so can't do that either lol
lol @ Jack but tbh its a fair way for me aswell otherwise id volunteer to go and assist the lovely lauren!
You wanna get your bastad done first Spud lol lol
Yeah thats quite true andy tbh lmaolol
Right, Stoo now can't make it, I really need the car looked at before my driving test, which is 14th November, about 2 and a half weeks away. Can anyone else help with this? Pretty please? :(

28-10-08, 12:13 PM
why fix it the way you women drive it wont stay fixed for long lol
hendrix
28-10-08, 12:33 PM
If it wasn't so far away, I'd give you a hand
Well, if it's not done before my driving test I'm gonna have to scrap it. :(

28-10-08, 04:33 PM
Scrap it. Nearly four weeks since your first post. You cant be that bothered about getting it fixed. There must be someone local who can do the work?!
surely you know someone who can handle a screwdriver - its not that hard to fix the work that needs doing (except the dents but dents/rust add characterlol)

Stoo was going to help, but hasn't been able to.
I'll make an effort then lol. Not saying I can do it, as it does look quite bent, but still...
get your fella to fix it.
seems he's the prett who smashed it up.
if he's had mecarno or lego as a kid, then its easy

Would seem the obvious person to fix it IMO. Or at least the one to arrange the repairs!
things like this are too simple to ask others to fix your own problems.
he'll atleast show a little more respect to the vehicle if he fixes it himself.
if he doesn't, he wont care and do it again.
