picking up a free shell 2moro

[L33 LEG]

im bored and want some ideas. im still on the look out for a decent nova shell but paulnova off here is giving me his old black one instead of scrapping it. it needs a lot of welding underneath and even tho the body panels are mostly in very good nick, the whole car was painted with tractor paint years ago lol my question is, if you were just wanting a nova to mess about with and have the intention of putting at least a valver in it would you:

respray the car and do it properly?
leave it the rough black it is but sticker it all up rally/track style to suit the engine and interior which will obviously be stripped and caged?
get rid of the shell and wait for a shell which doesnt need spraying?

i know most will go for option 3 and thats why im still looking out for another one, but it would be good to save this car as its a bit of a whore around town and would like it to be saved, and being a bad shell id probably end up enjoying driving it more as if i bump it it wouldnt bother me that much tbh.

your views?

the car: and bare in mind paul drove it for years and loved it, even tho it was a very dull paintjob.

that would be the cheapest option and seen as i dont want to be spending a lot of money on this itl prob be the best option.

so, show me some pics of stickered up novas which are NOT white :)

RAT look!!!

cant stand that bloody trend ha!

i was kidding. looks ok to me.

its not that bad, after it had a wash it looked perfect and shiney but once it had dried it wasnt too good. at night tho nobody can tell but i prefer really clean cars so it may end up bugging me. so if i was thinking that if i stickered it up i can just tell people its part of the theme i was going for lol

looks like il have to have a go on photoshop and see what ideas i can come up with. on the plus side tho i can spray my own bumpers as whenever i try and go for gloss black it turns out exactly like the colour of the shell. but knowing me, il do a really good job this time and theyl be shiney Lol

lol thats a bit more detail than i wanted

saying that tho, the blue suits the black pretty well. maybe thatl be a good colour scheme to go for.
