I have always said i would never have another nova... ah well, i just chucked that theory out the window!

Got offered a Silk Violet 1.2 spi "Flair" on a J plate. Its quite clean, just needs a little tidying and i got it for a bargain price!

I'm after some mint standard mk2 bumpers if anyone has any? and some gsi sideskirts (again must be mint)

This car is gonna be done on an extremely small budget to show people what can be done with a little bit of effort and time..

Expect a few guides to go up in the following months!

So now i'm modifying two cars.. one more or less on a no expense spared budget and one on a erm "few quid here and there" budget :lol:

ARGHHHH what have i done!!

Have you still got the old Nova with 40's etc? The new one sounds ideal for a 16v conversion! But that will blow the theory of a small budget out the window!!!

Still have the blue one, but the engine is stripped as i did a little damage to it a few weeks back :oops:

It's off the road at the mo, will be back in the summer bigger and better :wink:

I'll get some pics soon... i thought it was spi Ick cos they still use a carbueretter. Tbh it don't matter, it goes forwards and backwards, thats all that matters! lol

I thought you meant you'd crashed it or something!?? Best keep the blue one cos it's looks mint, I bet it went well too. Not been in a 1600 with 40's. What are your plans or are they a secret??

Lol na didnt crash it! :o Piston ring went and scratched all the bores. So i just sold the B+ head, cam and carbs etc because it wasnt really economical to repair.

Yup was quite nippy, kept up with most valver nova's.

Plans arn't really a secret but i'm not shouting about it lol. I'm doing what every man and his dog are doing regarding novas.. c20let lump. :roll:

Nice one Ick.. :D
