cool so heres my nova for sale. i bought this of a friend many months ago as almost done, with the intention of using it/doing it at the same time and making it into a show car. ha
so bought it off a friend who started the 2.0 litre conversion and got most of it done, i bought it , got it running, taxed it and just used it and decided to do the jobs later, started to do the bodywork as you can see from the pics , but after using it i never did anything just couldnt be bothered. and now have decided im just not a vauxhall man and at the end its not going to be what i want so im going to pass it on for someone else to complete and make it the car it should be.
Mot till-june 15th 2010
it does have tax for at least 4 maybe 5 months, this will be included if the asking price is met.
85000 miles, 2.0 8v sri 130bhp engine with f20 gearbox. still on a 1.2 logbook so cheap tax and insurance.
loads of new parts, cambelt kit, water pump, service bits etc, gsi radiator, thermostat, alt belt, new starter motor
its got bigger brake conversion from a mk2 sri cav and the recaro style seats and the 14" alloys wheels, including spare.
apart from that everything else is standard.
as it is a running project there are bad points: i was going to get to these but just cant be bothered anymore.
1. bodywork, slowly i was getting there as you can see one side is partly in primer, underside is really clean not a normal rust bucket.
2. oil leak , it does have an oil leak from the sump gasket and i noticed last night a slight oil leak from the distributor seal.
3. doesnt handle!!! as its standard suspension still its horrible, it actually rocks side to side over bumps, but im sure with a lowered set of shocks and springs this would be superb!
4. the front brakes have a judder, again if asking price is met then i will throw in a brand new set of discs and pads.
5. has a slight steering wobble around 50 ish, now let me explain this wasnt my doing but the driveshafts are very custom, the car does drive very well , but also the wheels and tyres came off a cavalier that had been stood for years, so im not sure if its knackered tyres, un balancing, or the driveshafts? another job i didnt do.
6. intake pipe, this really needs a new one sorting out, i cobbled together two old bits of pipe i had lying around just to get it runnig, and once i did get it running ive just left it and never changed it, same thing for no airfilter.
apart from those jobs it really is a fun car god does it torque steer all over the road!!
anyways im asking £600 but im open to ANY offers of any kind, be it cash, or px or swap for anything, i just really havent got time for it and decided that thats it so time for it to go.
any questions please ask thankyou
