looks nice - you see it before buying?

Re club memebrship - if its on paypal should have renewed automatically unless you cancelled the auto renew.

Just join up again - you know it makes sense

I hope that you have had a good look around it beforehand??

Do you know if it is a Gsi?

Looks nice. Asking whether its a gsi or not, It doesn't really matter as its not a GSI to look at. Could be a 1.2 with 1.6 in and you wouldn't know.
The novadose front looks ok, not sure abouteh abyss rear...

Thats my point... Does it matter though now its modified? You cant call it a "GSI"

Although I was the winning bidder on ebay I didnt buy it through ebay thus had a good look around the car before hand.

It was a GSI but fitted with a 2,0 8v, it has a 4 branch, gas flowed head and is "140" bhp if i can quote ebay.

Soooo many receipts its un true.

He also chucked in a mint boot lid :)

Loving the car and glad i got a nova again :)

Doesnt look too bad, looks like it needs a jazz rear wiper though for something else on the ass end, but please tell me youre going to ditch those mirrors theyre horrid!

Looks like a good buy you got there. Not a fan of kitted examples, but that doesnt look too bad IMO! Post up some better pics.

I like that front bumper, but the rear no way, bonnet seems a bit OTT too.
The paint is really nice though, when i saw it the otherday it had a nice sparkle.
Whats your plans for it too?

Not sure yet, going to leave it over the winter, then, around march its going in for a partial re-spray as it has a few small bits that are annoying me :)

I may paint the mirrors to match but I like the indicators being on them so they must stay.

Might be moving the petreol cap to inside the door

Also a new boot lid will be on early next year with the handle taken off but im keeping the recess.

Stainless exhaust also will come early next year.

Clifford alarm and proxie sensors

last thing will be coilovers

Maybe an xe conversion but im undecided.

Pete.:cool:

Looks OK despite the bumpers.

Personally I think the mirrors are the ultimate sin in Nova ownership next to washing the car in salt water.
