Hey guys and girls, just though I'd post some pics of the latest nova, 1.2 merit. Going to be my daily runner. No real rust apart from rear arches where it meets the sills,surface rust on drivers door, few battle scars but in general good condition

Bought this from Colin Smith (novarally) a few weeks ago, only 46k :d

This is how I got it, sourced some new bumpers as someone had painted them matt black, also a new grill. Painted the wing mirrors too. Oh and changed the wheels

Fitted some 60mm rear springs and shocks, coilovers on the front. Coilovers as I got them for next to nothing.

SR interior was fitted, 60/40 rear seats which didnt line up with the 2 piece brackets, so sourced the 2 piece rear seats from bmw156 :thumb:

Needs lowering more at the front, tracking sorted out, then should be on the road next week :cool:

Comments welcome

P.S

My dad wants his garage back, not for a while yet :roll: His M5 has to stay on the drive lol
