I beg to differ. Your grinders just tend to have bigger discs & are diesel powered!

way too many cars sat outside my house atm, (4, and girlfriend dont drive lol)
rip off chaps at Rotrex keeping putting the price up on the charger, when i first asked about one 6 months ago its was £1150 now its £1790 :mad:.

So who are you then? Another Bridgwater Nova nut? Apologies if I should know you..... :thumb:
The smaller charger Edd was going to use on the 1300 is a brand new unit, I very much doubt a 2nd hander will pop up anytime soon. Tbh on something like a charger that will be expensive even 2nd hand, having the warranty from Rotrex is fairly handy IMO seeing as a lot of it covers the oil changes for the charger.

I'm in Bridgwater mate. I'm driving a Red F plate 1.2. Just broke my GSi so you wont be seeing that. So I assume Bob Rose must be teaching you? :thumb:
Any news yet mate?
Surely you know Edd has a sport shell now, so there wont be any updates to this build, other than when I start on it, inwhich case I'll write a thread for it.

nice mate still charging it??
Just to sum up, mainly for Wudgey lol
shell is now Craigs, good luck with it mate,
Blue SR is forsale, it the forsale section,
Sport has been bought, will start the build soon and a new thread,
Hopefully the Sport build will come together quickly so I can drive it and move house cause there's Nova stuff everywhere at home lol
vaughanmc
22-04-10, 10:02 AM
Can't wait to see the Sport build lol Excuse the pun but, you won't get a better 'base' than that to start with
A Brand New shell!!! :thumb:
Regarding the Sport shell, I had the cash, I would never find anything like that again tbh, plus I will have it finished alot quicker than I would with this one.
So it makes sense to me, also I can't see my girlfriend being too happy if we don't buy a house this year and there was no way of me doing that with all the shells/cars/parts all over the house/garage lol
Should be starting it after the weekend.
vaughanmc
22-04-10, 10:18 AM
Can't wait to see the progress thread mate! I'm after another one, but a clean one lol
A13 SPT looks clean that's forsale ?
Hasn't let_nova got shell forsale as well ?
vaughanmc
22-04-10, 11:58 AM
Hmm...A13 SPT does look good and Let Nova does have one as well but they've both been rally cars previously and have holes drilled for a cage etc - Would prefer a road-going shell :)

whoops lol ive not been on in ages dude so ive npot seen it lol
It lives on lol
Spud (xxspudxx) needed his container back that the shell was stored in
Me and Craig went down today to sort out moving it to his garage (as the shell and the cage are his now)
http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/DSC_0015.jpg
Has weathered quite well for being in the container IMO just a bit of surface rust
http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/DSC_0014.jpg
Craig assessing the job in hand lol
http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/DSC_0013.jpg
Hopefully he'll crack on with it, put a new thread up and I'll keep pestering him till he does lol

Sorry who's is this lol
It's Craig's now mate lol
Hopefully he'll start a new thread, I just excited because it hadn't rusted to dust and posted some pics lol
For me, knowing Craig since we were kids, it'd be nice to see him build another, gutted he had to break his GSI

Bit of a sand, front panel, skim of filler and a sand then re paint red. 1.4 lump on twin 40s and it will be awesome.

Sad times indeed, if I was ever going to have another Nova it would be this one, but after storing it for 3 years I just don't have the motivation to do anything with her. She made her last journey to the Metal merchant's this afternoon.

shame to of scrapped that in my opinion. looks like a fair bit of work had gone in to that.

11-11-14, 06:04 PM
What's the story with this ^^^ ???
Why scrap what looks like a good shell?
scott.parker
11-11-14, 07:35 PM
From what I gather Nobody wanted it bad enough to collect it, simple as that.

Never saw it advertised. Asking a lot? I mean as a bare shell weighing it in would have got him next to nothing from the scrap man.
scott.parker
11-11-14, 07:48 PM
Not sure if it was advertised, Craig did offer it to me, but I've no storage or any way to of collected it.
Awaits the hundreds of 'i would of had that ffs' comments lol
It was never listed in for sale section.
I Even had a wanted for a bodyshell and only reply about it came from southie.
Not that id travel that far anyway.
A shell on the bridge bare is currently worth about 35quid
Johnny A
11-11-14, 08:10 PM
I would have paid more than £35 lol Bit of a trek for me but I went that far for my white nova shell. Oh well I guess its one of those "I would rather destroy it then let someone else benefit from my hard work/money sorta guy"
It was £9.60p weighed in
Craig has made a big effort trying to get someone to take it on
But as with everything everyone says 'i would of had that' lol
He wasn't going to do anything with it, and wanted the garage space job done
Johnny A
11-11-14, 08:54 PM
I honestly never saw it, I have unit that can handle 6-8 cars without breaking a sweat (currently housing 4) and I have a towing vehicle and access to a car trailer.
Such a silly waste IMO
http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?202665-Nova-shell&highlight=
It has already been advertised
Johnny A
11-11-14, 09:06 PM
Nope never saw that advert, I bet the scrap man just cubed it straight away too :(
Exactly
He had all the usual hopes, dreams and false promises at the time
Offered it around for another year no takers
Johnny A
11-11-14, 09:11 PM
A year ago hahahahaha
Yeah I know, I bought mum's Nova shell about a year ago too from Devon which is more of a drive than Somerset :(
Christ, it had the cross member welded on and everything! I never saw the thread either.
craig green
12-11-14, 01:11 PM
Such a silly waste IMO
I couldnt put it better myself. I didnt take the decision to dispose of it lightly, waste of panels, money & effort. I actually saved Edd from scrapping this over 3 years ago. So it had a second chance.
Should have been given a third chance, it's not difficult to get a grasser to pick up a shell for £100+.
scott.parker
12-11-14, 02:00 PM
What did you do with the front wings?
craig green
12-11-14, 05:12 PM
There aren't any Scott, unless you mean anything in previous pics which Edd will have either sold or most likely stockpiled in his loft.

12-11-14, 05:29 PM
I don't see what the big deal is, surely this just makes everyone else's Nova slightly more valuable?
nova_niek
17-11-14, 11:49 AM
This just made me cringe.
thread of the week! scrap the lot lol
Yep agree, getting the Sport and the contents of my loft collected next week
I'll come over at the weekend^ Can i have some honey too?
