I'm a bit new!

Morning...

I'm a bit new!

I'm a Nova fanatic but I don't own one at the moment. Currently my main car is however a Nova at heart. It's a Corsa B with a Nova SR 1.4 engine in, bored to a 1.55, ported and polished running twin 40mm DCOE webber carbs, estimated 120-130 bhp.

I tried starting a "projects" thread but it won't let me upload photos until I have made 15 posts?! what's that all about!

I have had a few Novas in the past including a White L-reg GSi 2 years ago, which I miss quite a lot, but the Corsa B I just built is faster, handles equally as well, and is more fun than the old GSi!


Anyway, I am from Lancaster, I'm a nightclub manager and I have very little spare daylight time to have built this, yet I did it in the street outside my house in just a couple of weeks worth of afternoons, on my own!

The car cost me £200
A donor car with the wheels, suspension, a load of things like bucket seats that I am selling, and a decent exhaust on it cost me £100
Engine cost me a LOT but I spent that money 4-5 years ago, so I just had to fit it, which I did right there in the street :lol:

[dj_wudgey]

looks tidy!! but get the engine stuck back in a nova you know you want to lol

[BIGS]

nice little sleeper you got there, welcome btw

[ianmorley1984]

Thanks massively to Ste L for the photo links I appreciate that a lot mate :thumb:

I would have loved to have found a Nova for very little money that I could fit that engine into but I searched for months with no success. I was trying to get a Nova van to fit that engine into, but there just weren't any anywhere :confused:

For £200 the silver Corsa was a steal so I am happy with it for now at least lol

I actually have a very nice left hooker, white, 1982 Mk1 Golf Cabriolet aswell, which is where my spare money is going to be thrown at before summer comes along.

[Ste L]

no problems dude, glad to help :)

corsa looks good for the budget! What g/box is it running?

[ianmorley1984]

Right now it has a standard 1400 SR gerbox, whatever code that has, but I have a GSi engine in my garage with an F13 on it... and an f13cr at my parents house... but I haven't spoken to them for 2 years so I 1) doubt it will still be there as they will have chucked out everything I left in that garage (INCLUDING A CAR!!!), and 2) I'd have to break in and physically steal it if it is there still :-(
