my retro nova 1.2L project

[RETRONOVA]

Hi just thought some of you would like to see my retro 1.2L nova! I brought it a couple of months ago, 2 owners, full Vauxhall s/h, 48k. Just passed its mot with no advisories. Not to sure what mods I’m going to do to it yet? rather like driving it around the way it is lol.

Haven’t changed a thing its completely standard, funny you should say about the spoiler! Have just been giving mk1 sr spoiler don’t think I’m going to fit tho.

[boyle_46]

source another bootlid if your thinking about it , non grabhandled bootlids are hard come by my boot dont have a handle or a wiper so it would be a sin , that car needs some serious slammage lol

Mines got the same boot and im going to put an SR spoiler, not drilling any holes though.

its a bit hard to price on them at the mo, i think you pay what you think its worth to you! i paid £500 for it not sure if that was a good or bad price to pay for it? dont realy care i like it any how lol

[Steve]

Good price mate, looks to be a good solid one as well, shame its got a grey interior though. 87 was the last year of the brown lol

[Rysee]

Cracking car mate, love that standard look

[stevie-p]

nobody loved my standard look :cry:
and i'd agree that is a good price i payed 350 for the saloon in slightly worse nik
again great little car

that looks nice as it is, saw it at the ace cafe meet the other month and it does look clean, 60mm would look mean with those wheels.
