yes i did :cry:

had an argument with the ex and instead of breaking her jaw and beat my car up instead, wish i hadnt now

[bmw156]

you cut up a sexy brown SR,

i kill you lol...

[novacabrio]

Neg rep for butchering an A reg brown SR lol

[burgo]

Nope it wasn't a genuine SR or you're gonna mysteriously turn up dead when the purists get here lol


Awesome build, looks like it had no rust.

yep it was a real one :) completely standard when i got it, even had the medie box in the boot with bracket :D

however it was rotten a as fook and back then they wernt worth bugger all so it was either do something with it or scrap it. obviously now it would be worth loads and i would restore it.

just goes to show how long ago it was

[Ste L]

love it :cool:


and neg'd the haters lol

[Benn]

Ah just looks ok in the pics then. When was it built?

[burgo]

it was about 5 years ago. i tried to sell it but no one wanted it because it was rotten. im fully aware that now it would probably sell for about £1500 and if i restored in more like 3k but thats how times change i guess :(

[Ste L]

what did you do with it in the end?

[General Baxter]

probert had it in the end

[burgo]

probert had it in the endyep then the council told him he was only allowed only one car so i think it ended up in the scrap yard in the sky

[General Baxter]

thats like me, iv told them to **** off now, i pay my tax's lol

[Jack]

lol I remember Stu saying on the original thread how if it was clean, in a few years time it would be worth something!

Ahhh memories lol

[Rickyb]

looked a good build pall lets hope we see a few more.

[jonn]

good build, what boot lid did u use behind the seats?

[General Baxter]

mk2 astra, estate or van

[jonn]

ok thanks! i think i might turn my nova into a pickup

[mowgli]

so, burgo was the hears----- estate some form of compensation for past misdemeanours????

[Mike]

Defiently the best hatch pick up built to date, it just looked so right in brown with them wheels.

[burgo]

see cant beat abit of brown :)

[MK999]

see cant beat abit of brown :)

That's what Lee said to me but what followed wasn't pretty :(

[octagonalpaul]

looks pretty funkylol

[red-nova89]

nice project,
looks sweet
seats look awsome too
you selling them haha

[benw456]

He had the car over 5 years ago mate, read the rest of the thread eh? lol

[MattBrown]

Waste IMO!

But I'm not into ruining a good car to then scrap it!

Hey hoe, good work etc, but would rather have the original Sr in my garage!

[burgo]

Hey hoe, good work etc, but would rather have the original Sr in my garage!read the thread clondite!!! i tried to sell it but nobody wanted it, it was before the retro scene!! it was rotten and was either this or scraped.

[corsamalaga]

The truth is that one nongoes mk I as light truck is very nice and a very hard project, but I continue thinking that a restoration in one nongoes it is to make it as original as possible.

That you have project classes more, in end I will follow this post very often a greeting.

[burgo]

if it makes anyone feel better i have firm plans to build a rep of it pre pick-up

[corsamalaga]

And since it is that it gave you for doing one light truck nongoes mk I, make clear to me a bit with more details ?

[nuno_gt]

Nice Pick up, m8. loved the idea

[CrAzY_kAyLL]

i built mine in 8 hours!! the estate only took 24 hours, where you doing it blindfolded or something?

[CrAzY_kAyLL]

Your only laughing because you know it worked so well :p not to mention it was FREE lol

[CrAzY_kAyLL]

It took you 8hrs to cut the roof off stick a an astra boot lid in then chuck a bit of filler on and a quick spray over

It took us 48hrs to stripped it out sanded down the hole car fit lowering springs cut the roof fitted the boot lid fitted a full novadose kit smoothed everything off including the bodykit and around the back lights fitted tinted windows gave it a hole new paint job and then put the seats back in :p

48hrs between how mant of you though, looks a bit of a team effort to me

[Sloth]

nowt wrong with a team effort ;)

[CrAzY_kAyLL]

I dare you to build another one then burgo on your own in 48hrs and see how good you can make it :p lol

Aye Rob you aint wrong made it more of a laugh doing it as a team and belive it or not it got me attention than a Ferrari lol

[Spudly]

He did, he built the estate in 48 hours singlehandedly :p

[CrAzY_kAyLL]

I said a Pick Up not an estate :p

Just checked out the build thread and I take my hat off to you sir :thumb:( though it dont look like you painted it till after 48hrs lol )

hmmm maybe I should find an estate and see if can build one in 8hrs lol

Oh by the way I know we put that we built in ours in 48hrs but it was actually finished a lot quicker than that we just put 48hrs because it was only 2 days spent working on it ;)

[farmertom]

im very seriously thinking about building a pickup nova over the winter with the one thats sat im my shed! give the old girl another lease of life.

[Spudly]

Thats true but surely there is more fabrication going into an estate as youre adding bits to it rather than just lopping bits off it to make a pickup lol

[CrAzY_kAyLL]

Yeah true that Spudly that's why I took my hat off to him lol

There has been a lot more Nova pick ups built over the years that have looked even better than theses two that also took a lot longer than what we both took building are ones

Someone got any pictures of them to help inspire farmertom ? - I remember seeing a valver one which was red and white once at PV

[farmertom]

its gonna happen my girlfriend wants to drive it about so its gonna happen, theres a sweet 2ltr 8valve sat in the shed next to it so i reckon its gonna have that in the space that was once fitted with a ****e 1ltr lol

[Maka]

Awesome car!! I love the way you just cut novas up and make quirky stuff out of them...

+rep

[Jedro]

haha this is mint. only just found out they made brown sr's and now i see one cut up

mega marks on effort :thumbs:

[nuno_gt]

Any news about it m8?

[farmertom]

its gonna happen my girlfriend wants to drive it about so its gonna happen, theres a sweet 2ltr 8valve sat in the shed next to it so i reckon its gonna have that in the space that was once fitted with a ****e 1ltr lol

its not happened, the nova is stayin as a hatch now. i split up with the missus just after new year. so im building it up soon but with a small block an coilovers, probly bike carbs.

[Bubba]

im waiting to get my hands on a grinder...my roof is ready to come off ;)

infact if we have cutting discs at work...i may rob them, and the extension lead and hack it up this weekend

[scott.parker]

lol looking at this now i bet you wish you had it and had restored it!
But we don't have a crystal ball, if we did i would of sold my gsi shell instead of scrapping it!

[burgo]

Of course I do Scott. Unfortunately this was before the retro scene and nobody wanted a brown nova back then as I did try to sell it

[mikey093]

Not helping here burgo but I'd of bought it if it was still around lol
