well after my travells to a different site with my job i passed a garage with a nova and corsa rally car outside, so i went to work and thought i would stop in on the way back. which i did, just asked him if he was selling any bits off it or had any spares that would be any use for trackdays etc. he had a rummage about and dug out some LEDA front and back shocks , quaiffe diff for the F20. as i was having a sly look out the corner of my eyes theres goodies everywhere. white compomotives with track tyres on must off been 4 sets. the nova also had revolution rfx's in white. but best of all... there was this ramp up in the air with crap underneath it like a autox mini etc. on the ramp was what i though was a mk3 escort actually turned out to be a unregistred mk1 nova saloon shell bought new 15 year ago. i asked him about it and he said something reversed into it in his garage so it needs a slam panel and a wing but apart from that its fine never seen a drop of rain and not one mile on it. apparently i can take it away for nothing!!!!
im going back next week for the ledas and a new drivers door for a 3door hatch and some wheels and whatever else i can get!!!
sorry to ramble just had to share!!

Depends how many doors it has! More than 3 and it's ready for scrapping lol
Not a mile on it but some one reversed it into his garage? And caused damage to it? Probably ****ed now after its hit something, Nova's aren't strong :p

You butchered a saloon to make the estate version lol you hate them more than me.
Saloons are only any good for old men going shopping in and to sale to china in a 1ft cube so they can build more skyscrapers!
