Let me know what you all think?

I'm really unsure of which way to go with this yet but think i have a few ideas in mind!

[Jay]

Looks clean, comon then whats the ideas? lol

[Essex Kid]

Keep it as is.

[Cle]

Clean :cool:

[Nobby]

[Sloth]

[andy_017]

plate says F-THaT lol

Haha never noticed that lol

It was at billing but dont think it was at pv!

[Riggy]

yeah was at PV aswell andy lol , was a good road trip down to dans aswell lol , now lets get the XE out of yours and in there lol

[Adam]

Git, he never even put it up for sale! lol lol

Its a stunning shell/car :cool:
Had a good look round it at national day etc

[smcgsi16v]

strip it, put a cage in, an 16xe and stick it on a track.

Thats what I would do.

[vaughanmc]

I'd make a nice SR or GTE out of it mate

My Nova was parked 2 along from it at PVS :)

[~~joycey~~]

Thats awsome! :)

[16v Nova Kev]

i would gte it standard all the way too nice to track or xe

[Riggy]

^^ lol its the perfect base to re-shell his current XE into ,

but i would gte rep it aswell with his speedlines and engine

[Steve]

mk2 gsi rep, digi dash, speedlines (or cav slabs if you want to be different) and xe it !! fpmsl! lol lol lol

Nah seriously it depends what you want it for, I reckon an 80mm drop and just use it as a daily ride. :cool:

[Riggy]

mk2 gsi rep, digi dash, speedlines (and xe it !! fpmsl! lol lol lol




thats his car now lol

[Steve]

lol was just doing a piss take of what most people want out of a nova!

[Lee H]

LET needed, don't bother with a slow XE again as you'll only end up taking it out to fit a LET in the end :D

[Riggy]

^^ now that is a plan my friend lol

[andy_017]

Lee i totally agree with you, i think let is the way forward :D

[Vauxhall_Redtop]

Very clean:cool:

[Dan]

advertise it, you should never need to advertise a car like that, its a word of mouth car :)

It was nice to see you guys come down, spose i better find a reason to pop north for a change at some point :D The big question is Andy, was the trip home fun, going back to standard 1.2 brakes and a 4 speed box? lol lol

As regards what you should do with it, given the fact i know half the idiots that are going to spanner attack it with you i am sure whatever the outcome it will be awesome :thumb:

[dj_wudgey]

looks clean as mate dont ruin it with any mk2 sh*t lol

[novaowner999]

looks clean as mate dont ruin it with any mk2 sh*t lol
seconded

[turbojolt]

keep it looking clean and standard but put coilovers, big brakes and a bigger engine into it


and keep mk2 crap well clear from it lol

[dj_wudgey]

keep it looking clean and standard but put coilovers, big brakes and a bigger engine into it


and keep mk2 crap well clear from it lol

thats what we like to hear matey lol

[andy_017]

One thing i can assure you all is that mk2 bits will be definitly be staying away from this car, i love the old school mark 1 originality :thumb:

Yeah some of the people spanner attacking it with me dont half know their stuff so a project thread will be up and running shortly!

Yeah Dan the drive back was great, only on fuel though, everything else about it was, erm, interesting haha :wtf:

[Lee H]

I do hope you aren't including me amongst the idiots? :eek: lol

[RJM25R]

There's a Kingdom kit on ebay:thumb:

Don't forget the resistor chip (and fake dump valve!)

BMW pay you too much LOL!!!!

[Rexy]

Flare the arches, smooth everything you can lower it lots and lots and get some deepdish wheels Dont paint it blue mind.

If a gsi front bumper or speedlines go anywhere near that car i will personally Come to your house and take the car away using nothing more than my hands and a small screwdriver :D

[andy_017]

dont worry rexton i promise none of that will go near it!

and yes lee you must be one of the idiots mwahaha :thumb:

[mowgli]

It is so good & original that I'd say keep it as it is.
you should get in touch with tv car hire companies in case they are doing a late eighties drama

[Rexy]

yeah but its still a nova, and novas are pretty shat to be fair... Just makes it a more sensible base to play with solid shell FTW :)

[ade]

Cant believe Dan flogged this - its absolutely mint. He spent about a hour at last years national day explaining how theres a slight fade on the drivers door where it'd stood in an OAP's garage for ages and the sun had shon through the window fading just part of the door! lol

The only rust we could find was a small nobble on the inner lip of one of the rear arches - it was that mint!

What ever you do to it - it deserves respect for staying clean so long.

Also I think if you wreck it Dan will sit on your head!

lol

[NovaLad]

Something diff...
Let Sleeper...
