Right im ive been looking for a nova project to build up for when im 17 and to use as a first car. ive found this one but i dunno if its too much of a project for my first one. but (not trying to be big headed) i am pretty handy with engine's and cars. in the back ground there's an SR and i can get the interior and stuff out of it. So should i take it on or not ??

panels are easy to get, if ya after a project then its gonna be good to learn to weld.

Boot floor has fibreglass & filler at one side, plates at the other, engine bay has had a few plates put on to cover up holes, one of which has been too small so has been filled with weld, and fook knows how much filler on the back arches, where they've been rolled up is at least 10-15mm thick, didn't bother looking anywhere else after seeing that...

Does it come with glass, dash, loom etc..?

If so yeah go for it. If not go for it and then spend the next 5 years getting all the odds and sod for it.

Thats 95% of novas out there and here. If theres no rust on the surface and it s soild (cant push ya finger thru a rusty hole) do it. You'll learn alot as you rebuild it, so you know how to build your next one.
