Im 16 and have just bought myself a mint vauxhall nova merit with only 38k on the clock genuine mileage,
to begin with i am kitting it out with some sound replacing all standard speakers and also putting a couple of new ones in some custom made rear door cards, next on my list was to get rid of the horrid grey stick on stripes down the side i have also began to buy gsi bumpers for it so it can begin to look like one of the high grade models in the nova range and for power im hoping to be buying a 1.8 or 2 litre engine in a years time to rebuild and when insurance lowers will put that in as it stands the interior is almost finished with corbreau forza 2000 seats and speakers in rear cards, also gte front door cards with cappings just after some sr blue rear seats atm, and then onto the exterior :) will keep updated as it goes and will upload a pic when i figure out how, please post on your opinions and suggestions as im quite new to novas only got into them bout 6 months ago :thumb: :d

Would leave it a while until you put a big block in insurance is a killer..
for exterior just keep GTEs and SRs in mind and you cant go far wrong
