Hi
Ive just picked up this J reg nova life 1.0 4speed 3dr hatch in maroon. It was rescued from its original owner (from new). Its done 45,000 miles, was apparently garaged all its life and is in good condition. It would make a good shell for anyone with a project. Im selling it because I already have a clean shell waiting for me, but I just couldn't say no to another nova! However I just don't have the room to store it, 4 novas is too many for me! I haven't had much time to look over the paperwork or even clean it, but i will do this and update this thread with more info, price and better pics. Manual windows, no central locking. 1 key fits all locks. 1/4 tank of fuel in it. Car drives and starts first time.
[info and photos added]

Good points
The roof, bonnet, doors, tailgate, ect are dent and rust free. There is no rust in the boot at all. There is some light surface rust to the battery tray, but nothing that cannot be cleaned off. The engine bay is clean except for some rust on the seam below the coolant expansion bottle. The interior will clean up to look like new. there doesn't appear to be any rot under neath the car either. It has a new GM battery also. It Its generally a clean shell, it has all the dealer stickers and number plates on it, including the 'made in spain' sticker in the windscreen! There are no stone chips to the front of the car, it probably hasn't ever been driven at speed! The red paint isn't even faded, but would shine well with some polish. Original (working) vaux cassette/radio.

Bad points
Both the front wings have dents in them, with the passenger wing having some rust at the bottom of it. The drivers side rear arch is clean apart from a small 5cm surface rust patch. The passenger rear arch has a dodgy repair to a rust patch on it. The elderly owner has painted the outside of the rear arches in underseal, so Im going to have to clean that off to get better pictures of it. The bumpers have some scuffs on them. The paint has bad scratches on it. I have no past history with this car, it doesn't seem to have any MoT and no tax. Glove box door has been screwed back on. base model, so has no rear parcel shelf.

As ive said, I'll clean it up, get better pictures and more info on it and then post that up along with a price. Feel free to pm, email or call/text me (07947214897) with questions. The car is located in the South Essex area.
Thank you

bear with me mate, I wanted to clean it up before ppl start bidding me down! Was thinking of putting it up at £400-375 & see what happens. I know its a clean shell and a 6 digit number plate and one previous owner would be nice little touches for someones project. Im going outside to clean it now, I'll tackle that underseal with some white spirit. lol

I have just cleaned the car and taken some more photos. It has no stone chips to the front end, the battery tray is clean and the doors and bonnet shut perfectly. :)
However, the rear arches are worse than I first thought. They have been bodged with filler and will take some work to rescue. Im gutted! see pics...

Thanks dude. Ive never used Ebay before, perhaps I can get a friend to help! lol
Im sure the short circuit racing guys would use it, they race 1 litres, but it seems a shame to let it get smashed up. Theres not a single dent in the roof, bonnet, doors, tailgate. :(

Don't be silly mate, for £150 I'd pull the clean panels off it, sell them separate and weigh the shell in for scrap and still get profit. lol
