LMFAO!
Didn't that exhaust stick out half a mile from the bumper?
Did this not get bought by someone not too long ago and it had been put into a kerb and had bad chassis leg/suspension issues iirc?

No worries. I'm sure it is salvageable.

Cheers Dan,
It's all scratched and seats are ripped. the glove box also has a tear !
I would want to get it registered as a 2.0 but a bit concerned it wont pass a VIC test
I'm in Colchester
didnt realise it needed a vic test to register as a 2.0 he has wrecked it then the interior was mint when i had it i put a new glove box in it he really doesnt have a clue. ur only up the road are you 100% after a 2.0 nova or would you have any engine size as i no of a good 1.2

I'm 99% sure it does need one, yeah sorry im after a 2.0.
ment to ask you was the hole in the rear bumper there when you had it ?
It's a really strange hole in the middle, Would you mind just giving me a quick run down of everything that was on it ? i.e brakes, suspension etc etc
Cheers Dan
its got a full power flow exhaust system 60mm rear springs with fk rear shocks 40mm front g max springs on standard front shocks 2.0 calibra front brakes not the turbo ones he says poly bushed lower arms and trac control arms the engine is standard its got the proper 2.0 fitting kit all mounts and up rated shafts. yeah the hole was in the back bumper when i got it been like it for a couple of years i was goin to change the back bumper it also had a little damage on the front bumper drivers side from the crash before i bought it also hence front wing any questions just ask mate and on a good point it is a very rust free shell
You only need a vic check if it'ss cat c or d write off iirc. Not changing the engine cc on the logbook.

your right, just done some research on the net and found this on the dvla website
Change to engine and cylinder capacity (engine size)
DVLA will need written evidence of any changes to engine number and cylinder capacity (cc). Written evidence can be:
a receipt for the replacement engine
written evidence from the manufacturer
an inspection report provided for insurance purposes
written confirmation on headed paper from a garage if the change in engine size took place before you bought the vehicle
That's it fella. Don't expect them to do it in a hurry though, mine took well over a year to sort, they're fooking idiots.

Blimey a year !!!!
What if it's your only mode of transpost ??
I'm now thinking what if any garage would be willing to put in writing that it has a new engine ? also how much it will cost ?
Luckily it was my second car! Others on here have had more joy than me. All i did with mine was get a friend (who handily worked for vauhall) To write down the engine code,number and cc of the xe, and posted it off. They accepted it ok. However, i've also heard of peeps sending off engineers reports that they've paid good money for, and never see them again. Tis just pot luck with the dvla imo.
