New addition to the fleet

[muzzy]

Here is my new motor, its a 1984 Nova L with 75k. It is lowered on coilovers and has Manta GTE wheels.

Since i got it on Friday i have changed the front bumper and the carpet, nicked them both off/out of my hatch!

Not got many plans but want to tidy the paint up because its a bit faded and then possibly change the engine at some point although the 1.2 runs sweet enough and i have my hatch to go fast in lol

looks good, nice and different on those wheels, keep it shiny and sell it to me in a coupla months:)

looks good slammed on the manta rims.

Have you still got the matt black hatch?

[muzzy]

Yup still got the hatch, its currently a bare shell in the garage getting rubbed down and ready for welding.

Found some old MOT certs for it, says it has done 7000 miles in the last 4 years and between the current and last test it did 200!

I will probably do the belt at some point and give the engine a service although it did have alot of new parts before i bought it.

looks nice,

just wait til the anti saloon squad see this... bout time i saw more 4 door saloons on here...

[muzzy]

May be hard to beleve but i was actually looking for a 4 door saloon since i saw my mates MK2 the other weekend. Was only by chance i found out about this one and it was a very good price considering so it had to be purchased lol

I was never a big fan of saloons until i saw that MK2 and i totally changed my mind on them.

[Novaboi_1991]

you say it was a mk2 that changed your mind?

why not do a bit of surgery on it, mk2 front wings, headlights, and bumper, an your there...

[Novaboi_1991]

how much she lowered by btw?

[muzzy]

Couldnt tell you, its on adjustable coilovers at the front and it does have lowering springs on the rear but not sure the drop.

It wasnt the fact it was a MK2 that i liked it, just that it was a 4 door saloon and i thought it looked quite good. Wouldnt want to change it to a MK2 because i like the look of the MK1 and i dont think it looks right having a C plate on a MK2.

[muzzy]

[muzzy]

Went for a blast out the road today with my pal to take photos of the Nova and his Vectra SRi...obviously the Vectra is boring so heres the Nova!
