im baaaaack

[Curtoise]

finally found another nova i want, after turning to the gay side for a few months.
its a 1989 sr and i cant wait to pick it up tomorrow,
needs a little bit of welding to pass its mot and a few bits here and there, i just cant wait to be back into a nova again.
its compleatly standard except the vauxhall alloys there like cav slabs but smaller and have 4 little holes not sure what there off?
my plans are to make it really tidy, get some 3 spokes on it, and tune the 1.3 :)

[mk1nova_rich]

same wheels as Southie had then, off a Mk2 Astra or Belmont IIRC. Pics of SR as soon as you get it please :d

[Curtoise]

yeh ile get pics up tomorrow, yeh they are the same as his.

do you think that the rot hole in the boot, that pushes through to the chassis leg will be a mot failure?
the leg itself is fine

[Tommy_nova]

twin carbs are only uneconomical when flooring it...which just happens to be most of the time cos the noise is seriously addictive lol
