if you planning on getting a new one save your pennies no point spending on it you will never get it back plus the way prices are rising by the time srpt comes the saved pennies will come in handy

I'd get that wee one you have there looking spot on - Never mind a GSi or whatever else

That's just my opinion though

Have you done much to this Nova either ?

if its a good shell why not do an engine conversion or gsi/gte replica instead?

Make it into something special instead of being ripped off trying to buy a GTE or GSi :)

But its rotten as ****, chassis legs are dead, arches are made of filler.

And curt will be silly to get a gte or gsi anyway as insurance is stupid at his age...

I say flat and mop it up so it looks less turdy on the finish then sell it via pist on heads for some one who want a project car.

Then save your money for a 1.3 SR.

how rotten is it?

you know every spot on this shell, a new shell always hides rust, would be a shame if you end up spending loads on a gsi shell that turned out to be more rotten then this one.
