Just bought another Nova after being deprived of one for about the last 4 years and im not sure what to do with it :confused:, ive bought it as a second car for something to do on the side but im not sure whether to go all out track or make it into a nice example if you get me.
to give you some idea of whats its like its a white GSi rep, was on pistonheads not long back, its had a full exterior respray with new wings etc a while back so its sort of half way there, just dont know whether to gut it or not!!!!

if its clean keep it that way, but there are a stack load of GSi reps about (not saying its a bad thing, just saying)

what engine is it running? and what is it mostley going to be used for?

leave the dash, have a cage, have 2 buckets

you need the room in the back for when you go cottaging anyway

yeh I know there is a few about, it is clean and I wouldnt be doing much to the exterior as in looks, interior isnt the best needs a good clean, its got blue and grey sri interior so not exactly a perfect replica.
Engine is a 1.6 8v on carb out of an H reg astra, mainly going to be used for shows, meets, pod and when im bored at weekends.
I built a track 106 gti on TB's which I put up for sale on here, but since I sold that, im slowly starting to get bored.
