alrite peeps, as we all know I have had a few(well more than a few)problems with my 1400, so I have got myself into this kinda situation.
I have been out and bought a T-reg corsa SXi, mainly due to the incredibly low insurance,the colour(arden blue) and reliability. I am now going to get my 1400 through an MoT,and will decide where to go from there.
I was thinking bout keeping the car,and modding it as a hobby-twin 40s would be going on it obviously,and uprated bits n bobs.However, I have decided get rid of nova 1400,and look for a gte mk1, cos this is my favourite nova(2nd favourite is a gsi) and with that it will be totally stripped,restored,and repainted,and by the time I have done that, my insurance should be sensible enough to wave goodbye to the corsa.
So-I am on the look out for a nova gte, thats at a good price(got a strong engine for it already,thats had the head rebuilt etc) just cannot decide on a colour!!! I like the metallic grey alot, but its expensive to maintain the colour,so I am either going for red or white I think. I may even be getting my old gte back- G591 HWX, only thing putting me off is the bloke who I sold it to,had no tax for ages,n got it clamped,he removed the clamp,and has stuck his car into hiding- thats all I know.
Just thought I would keep you informed,aint been online for a bit :)

sell the 1400, with the cash get a gte and respray that instead of rebuilding the 1400. That way u get the car you want and can choose any colour you like!

mine is in arden blue, I got some pics of it,and modded it a bit already, its a 1999 SXi as well mate :lol: I am gonna get my 1400 alive n kicking, I think I want a met grey GTE-all the bodywork will be standard,except clear front indicators and side repeaters, I want genuine vauxhall mudflaps, de-locked,de-arieled wing, maybe a mk2 dash n interior, appart from that I aint fussy,will have my raceline alloys on it I think,full scorpion stainless zorst,K&N and 16v brakes, I think its starting to sound like a winner already 8) oh and the gte vinyls staying on the tailgate(just need one now :(- anyone up for a swap??? :p)
