http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/scorge01/DSC01328jpg.jpg?t=1285960637

[svlet]

its fairly yummy how much will it cost to put back on the road

[scorge01]

back too that about a grand tops wont take long either about a month and will be back on road im thinking alloys are easy too find the right exhaust and bumper will be the problem poss got front bumper grilles and fogs and am told vauxhall do the bumper unpainted for about 250

[svlet]

ill find out where my mate got his winter green pulser he said thier was loads of things thier that were getting broken so might be a gsi its worth a shot

[scorge01]

cheers mate that be perfect worth a shot

[svlet]

[scorge01]

no they only came in black blue silver and red i thinks nooooo not a chance resprays cost too much.lol
yeah the red nova runs perfect and drives no bother just needs a battery
