1.6 16v nova

[awright164]

i have always loved novas i had one for my first car but it never seen the road so three cars later i but my self another one. needs a bit of work. i am in the process of stripping it and going to get it ready for spraying. i am respraying it white puting a full rollcage in it and droppping a 1.6 16v out of a corsa into it. it came with widder arches but they need a bit of tidying up as the paint is cracking were they join with the car

another irish lad what are you doing sr/gsi rep
whats the plans

[awright164]

going for a gsi rep thinking along the lines of a track day car. stripped out with a full cage resprayed white im not sure on the alloys yit. im just sort of desiding as i go along. any ideas welcome.

[connor c]

plans sound good lad. its your car put whatever alloys you want stealths or something different would be class. iv 15" 6 spoke oz rims in black on my red nova. Be prepared to file abit from the inside of the arch if your going to run anything bigger than steels lad
edit, didnt see she was a wide arch

nice project you have there i always wanted to drop the 1.6 16v into my old nova but it sold quicker than i expected.
