Been driving the Nova 3 days a week for the past 3/4 weeks to the college which is 30 miles a day and it's been taking it's toll on how much I've been cleaning it

Since I was off the day I got all the inside hoovered and the mats washed, the outside all washed then Carnuba waxed then polished all the windows also dressed my tyres...Can't beat shiney tyres lol

Been having so much fun driving the old Nova, they really are great!

Here's some pics of her looking good for a change:

Looking good, still not keen on the spoiler but i guess it makes a change from a GSi item.

Joe Richardson
19-09-09, 06:32 PM
You must be kidding lol ?

nope my sr wont be seeing wet/dirty/salty roads at all !!!!

it only gets used when it's sunny:thumb:

vaughanmc
20-09-09, 12:13 PM
Not much point in that IMO but each to their own

I'd like another boot to put a GSi spoiler onto to see how it looks then...

20-09-09, 12:58 PM
Yeah there is a point, if its a clean SR, it will end up rotten driving around through snow, id do the same if i had a mint original nova.

anyway car looks good mate, not keen on the spoiler or the red boot handle still looks clean though.

vaughanmc

Get it caked in Waxoyl etc and just keep the salt out of the bits that rot and it'll be fine

Pointless hiding it away...

Joe Richardson
20-09-09, 01:37 PM
It will be stored away for the winter,that way it keeps it mint,and clean :thumb:

it wont see the roads at winterlol

I always took my Nova's off the road for winter, i dont like cleaning in the freezing cold and the heaters are terrible lol

vaughanmc
20-09-09, 01:44 PM
Fair play lol

Mine's will be out unless I don't need to use it :thumb:

Don't have anywhere to keep it inside anyway

The orange Nova is in my garage and my space at the lock-up is being taken up by the Sport lol

My cav is my winter bus and i still keep her nice and clean and polished even through the depths of winter lol

Nova has been away for two months not so i can make an early start on her for next year, cant wait to bring her back out though as i miss the old girl, all my novas heaters have been pretty good anyways tbh, although the best car ive ever had for heaters in winter was my 1.1 mk3 fiesta, ive had three of them and never found heaters like them, you can have your car like a tropical heatwave inside even when its snowing lol

Joe Richardson
20-09-09, 01:47 PM
mine is kept outside but has a cover over it,but it will go in the garage through the winter:thumb:

muzzy
20-09-09, 01:49 PM
My L reg 106 had the best heaters, was like sitting in front of a fire only downside was the fact it was a 106.

vaughanmc
20-09-09, 01:49 PM
I'll be keeping the Nova clean and tidy during the winter - I don't see the point in putting it away if it's your only car as well...

Well, the Nova's my only road car atm so it'll need to be out :)

Just make sure you clean out your arches regularly then and a jolly down to a jetwash and a rinse underneath regulary wouldnt go amiss either bud:thumb:

vaughanmc
20-09-09, 01:54 PM
Aye she'll be kept tidy - I always rinse the arches out when I give it a wee jetwash anyway :thumb:

Spudly
20-09-09, 01:57 PM
Good lad, i get called wierd at work cos i use the wash bay at work to clean the cav twice a week even in winter, its easy to clean in winter though cos she wears that much polish and road muck tends to stay wet in winter cos its wet most of the time, so i just rinse her off ever other day:thumb:

muzzy
20-09-09, 01:58 PM
My winter cars never get washed, they are disposable lol

vaughanmc
20-09-09, 01:59 PM
Mine's has loads of Wax etc etc on it so hopefully it rinses off just the same lol
